5 1 Explanatory notes These tables relate to all clients who were assisted in the reporting period by specialist homelessness agencies based in Northern Territory. Further information about the Specialist Homelessness Services Collection is available in the national data report < Client, support period, and presenting unit data Data presented in these tables are mainly based on clients, with some data based on support periods or client groups (or presenting units which identify clients who present together to a specialist homelessness agency, including clients who present alone and receive a service). Information on clients who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or part of a specialist interest group, is mostly client-level data and information on agencies, unmet demand and trends data is predominantly support period data. Data in tables that are adjusted for non-response have had a weighting methodology applied which results in estimated figures that are not whole numbers. As a result, all figures in these tables are rounded to the nearest whole number and client numbers in separate columns may not add to the figure for all clients due to rounding errors. Client-level data An individual client may have had more than one support period either from the same agency or from a different agency. Data from individual clients who received services from different agencies and/or at different times are matched based on a statistical linkage key (SLK). All analyses based on client data include only those clients for whom full and valid SLK data (i.e. date of birth, sex, and alpha code based on selected letters of name) are available. Clients who have more than one support period during may present with different characteristics in these different support periods. For example, their main reason for seeking assistance may be domestic and family violence in their first support period, and housing crisis in the second. Where there are multiple responses to a question, some information presented is based on the client s response to the question when they first became a client of an agency in Other information is based on a counting methodology that analyses the client s responses and, where these are different responses, determines the response provided most often and the client s longest support period for each month in The methodology is conceptually based on the client s journey during the course of the reporting period regardless of their movement between jurisdictions. Annual clientlevel data presented by jurisdiction should be interpreted with caution as the information is representative of clients who presented to that jurisdiction at any time during the reporting period and may not represent the clients characteristics exhibited when they attended for services in that particular jurisdiction. Detailed information on how specific variables were derived can be found in a technical appendix to Specialist Homelessness Services Collection: Annual report which is available from the additional materials tab associated with this publication on the AIHW s website < Specialist Homelessness Services Collection: annual report supplementary tables 3
