From 1985 to 1988, 10 Canadian community health units, in conjunction with Health and Welfare Canada, conducted a standardized telephone survey to assess the prevalence of health risk factors among persons aged 15 and over. Seatbelt use, hypertension awareness, physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, cancer screening status and sociodemographic variables were ascertained in each community. Although prevalence rates for most of the major risk factors varied significantly among the survey communities, little clustering of high or low risk levels was observed in any particular locale. Periodic administration of the risk factor survey in communities across Canada would provide a valuable data base for both public health planners and researchers.
