OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, September 30, 2009 · 8 Oakville part of Canadian Health Measures Survey Hundreds of residents from Oakville and the surrounding region will soon be participating in household interviews and then visiting a mobile clinic in Oakville as part of Statistics Canada's Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). The CHMS results will capture a broad portrait of the health of Canadians by gathering baseline data on a variety of concerns, including cardiovascular health, nutritional status, as well as exposure to chronic and infectious diseases and environmental contaminants. The survey will collect information from about 350 pre-selected residents in Oakville as well as the surrounding communities of Milton and Halton Hills. Statistics Canada interviewers will begin visiting randomly-selected households beginning next week. The CHMS mobile clinic will be located in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Express in Oakville from October until the end of November. The survey will help evaluate the health of a representative sample of 5,700 Canadians in 16 sites across the country over two years. The current cycle of the CHMS started in August 2009 and will continue until early 2011. Oakville is the survey's second stop. It will travel to other sites in Ontario as well as Québec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. This is the survey's second cycle of data collection. The first cycle of the CHMS took place from March 2007 until February 2009 travelling to 15 sites across Canada. Data from the first cycle of the CHMS will be released starting in January 2010. The survey will be conducted in two stages: a household interview and a visit to the mobile clinic. In Oakville, household interviews begin Oct. 2. The clinic itself will begin operation Oct. 15 for a period of about six weeks. During household interviews, Statistics Canada interviewers will ask general questions on health (diet, medical history, health status) and lifestyle. Then, at the mobile clinic, qualified health professionals will take direct physical measurements, including height, weight, blood pressure and pulmonary capacity. Participants will also take certain tests assessing their physical condition. Finally, blood and urine samples will be collected to test for cardiovascular health, nutritional status as well as exposure to infectious diseases and environmental contaminants. Only the pre-selected residents can participate in the survey. Those who choose to do so will receive a report on their physical measurements and tests and the results of their laboratory tests. Additional information on the CHMS is available at www.statcan.gc.ca/chms.
