The Canadian Health Measures Survey is stopping in South Calgary the next few days! One of the main goals of the survey is to gather information to help improve health programs and services in Canada.

The first part of the survey is a household interview, which includes questions on many health-related topics. The second part of the survey involves a visit to a mobile clinic to collect direct physical measures.

The survey collects information on Canadians' health and health habits:

• body composition
• blood pressure
• bone density
• vision
• environmental contaminants in blood, urine and hair

Participation is voluntary, and data is collected from January 4, 2016 to December 20, 2017.
