From 1985 to 1988, 10 Canadian community health units, in conjunction with Health and Welfare Canada, conducted a standardized telephone survey to assess the prevalence of health risk factors among persons aged 15 and over. Seatbelt use, hypertension awareness, physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, cancer screening status and sociodemographic variables were ascertained in each community. Although prevalence rates for most of the major risk factors varied significantly among the survey communities, little clustering of high or low risk levels was observed in any particular locale. Periodic administration of the risk factor survey in communities across Canada would provide a valuable data base for both public health planners and researchers.
1985年至1988年期间，加拿大10个社区卫生单位与加拿大卫生福利部合作，开展了一项标准化电话调查，以评估15岁及以上人群中健康风险因素的流行情况。在每个社区确定了安全带使用情况、高血压知晓率、身体活动、吸烟、饮酒、癌症筛查状况以及社会人口统计学变量。尽管大多数主要风险因素的流行率在各调查社区之间差异显著，但在任何特定地区几乎未观察到高风险或低风险水平的聚集现象。在加拿大各社区定期进行风险因素调查，将为公共卫生规划者和研究人员提供一个宝贵的数据库。
