Canadian Health Measures Survey

7th July - Submitted by Alice Wong MP Staff

The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), a partnership between Statistics Canada, Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada, will help address longstanding limitations in Canada’s health information system. The CHMS is collecting health information that cannot be otherwise captured about Canadians or that may be inaccurately reported through self-report questionnaires or health care records.

The mobile clinic will visit 16 sites across Canada between 2009 and 2011, collecting data from approximately 360 participants per site.

The eighth collection will take place in the region of Richmond, British Columbia. All survey participants will be drawn from the cities of Richmond and Delta.

The mobile clinic will be located in the parking lot of the Richmond Curling Club in Richmond during the collection period from mid-July until the end of August 2010.

For more information, contact Renée Langlois at 613-951-0878 or renee.langlois@statcan.gc.ca or visit www.statcan.gc.ca/chms.
