The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) is a national survey that gathers information to help improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and to promote the health and wellness of Canadians. The data collected will be used by researchers to further understand the relationships between disease risk factors and risk conditions such as obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and exposure to infectious diseases and to environmental contaminants.
This survey will shed light on illnesses and reveal the extent to which many diseases may be undiagnosed among Canadians and enable health professionals and researchers to face challenges in public health. Data collected in previous cycles of the CHMS supported the development of Canada’s 24-Hour Movement Guidelines and ParticipACTION’s Report Card.
The CHMS Supporter Toolkit contains tools and resources in one convenient location to help you and your organization share information about the survey. Feel free to revisit and use our promotional materials whenever needed!
