NOVA SCOTIA: Approximately 1700 households in Sydney, Cumberland County, Lunenburg, Sackville/Bedford, and West Hants will be randomly selected to participate in the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), a national survey conducted by Statistics Canada.
Stats Can said they know that having accurate information about the health of Canadians is a vital part of improving health care in Canada.
That’s why, 15 years ago, Statistics Canada partnered with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada on the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS).
The data from this survey are used by researchers to further understand the relationship between disease risk factors and risk conditions.

These include things such as obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and more.
It also sheds light on illnesses and enables health professionals to be better prepared for public health challenges.
CHMS is now conducting its 7th Cycle. 19 sites in Canada have been selected to participate in the survey.
As a part of this survey, temporary examination centres will be set up in each location for respondents to participate in an oral health examination, after they have completed an interview at their home.
