Nine in ten Canadians say the work of radiologists in our healthcare system is valuable – with perceptions of value steadily rising since 2018 (Canadian Association of Radiologists/Nanos)

The perceived value of the work radiologists do in our healthcare system continues to rise with just over nine in ten Canadians who say their work is valuable (92%) compared to about eight in ten in 2022 (83%) and 2018 (81%). Another six per cent say their work is somewhat valuable, while less than one per cent say their work is not valuable or somewhat not valuable.

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,044 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between September 2nd and 4th, 2023 as part of an omnibus survey. Participants were randomly recruited by telephone using live agents and administered a survey online. The results were statistically checked and weighted by age and gender using the latest Census information and the sample is geographically stratified to be representative of Canada. The margin of error for a random survey of 1,044 Canadians is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The research was commissioned by the Canadian Association of Radiologists and was conducted by Nanos Research.
