This paper provides a brief history of Canadian health surveys and a review of health or health-related surveys from the first national household survey in 1950/51 to the present time. Surveys have evolved from collecting information on health care utilization, health status and some risk behaviours to a wider range of health determinants following the 1974 Lalonde report. In addition to the occasional cross-sectional surveys, there are periodic surveys, longitudinal surveys, school-based surveys and surveys based on subgroups in the population or specific topic areas. The survey review is presented in the following four tables: Table 1 summarizes national surveys including such information as the date(s) and frequency of data collection, topic areas, target population, sample size and response rate for each survey; Table 2 provides the same information for provincial surveys; both tables point to Table 3, which supplements the previous information with survey sponsors and contacts; Table 4 provides similar information for commercial surveys. This reference, which will be updated periodically, is intended to act as a source of information and support in the development of new surveys.
本文介绍了加拿大健康调查的简史，并回顾了从1950/51年首次全国性家庭调查至今的健康或与健康相关的调查。自1974年拉隆德报告发布后，调查内容已从收集医疗保健利用、健康状况和一些风险行为的信息，扩展到更广泛的健康决定因素。除了偶尔的横断面调查外，还有定期调查、纵向调查、基于学校的调查以及针对人群亚组或特定主题领域的调查。调查综述列于以下四张表格中：表1总结了全国性调查，包括每次调查的数据收集日期和频率、主题领域、目标人群、样本量和回复率等信息；表2提供了省级调查的相同信息；这两张表都指向表3，表3补充了调查主办方和联系人的信息；表4提供了商业调查的类似信息。这份参考文献将定期更新，旨在为新调查的开展提供信息来源和支持。
