Collection and usage attributes | |
Comments: | Some service providers may find it difficult to ask a question about a person's Indigenous status. Furthermore, some Indigenous persons may be reluctant to answer a question about their Indigenous status because previous experience has led them to believe that identifying as an Indigenous person may disadvantage them. Without assistance with implementing this data element the data provided are likely to be of low validity and reliability. |
