*Cases representing 0.19% of the population were excluded because of missing values.
†Weighted to the entire Canadian Regular Force in service in September 2012. To protect the identity of respondents, Statistics Canada permits the release only of weighted cell counts, which must be rounded to the nearest 20. We calculated prevalence rates using these rounded cell counts.
‡Totals may not add up owing to rounding.
§These values are suppressed owing to Statistics Canada's guidelines for vetting of output. Although the cell sizes were above the prescribed minimum for this survey (unweighted n ≥ 5), earlier versions of the table released with minimally recoded variables had results that differed from these results by less than the minimum cell requirement and hence could not be released.
¶Includes forced sexual activity and unwanted sexual touching, which are not mutually exclusive.
**With or without lifetime non-military-related sexual assault.
