This report describes the major findings of the survey, conducted in 1985 by Statistics Canada for the Health Promotion Directorate of Health & Welfare Canada. The report describes the prevalence and distribution of a broad range of health practices that influence the health promotion and disease prevention prospects of Canadians, many of which have never been studied before. A description of the methodology and survey methods is included. Health aspects are divided into substance abuse, including tobacco, alcohol, and drugs; disease detection, including screening for high blood pressure and female preventative health practices; safety and accident prevention, including safety on the road, at home, and at work; nutrition and exercise; and health and health practices.
