TI  - Canadian Health Measures Survey pre-test: design, methods, results.
PG  - 21-30
AB  - The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) pre-test was conducted to provide 
      information about the challenges and costs associated with administering a 
      physical health measures survey in Canada. To achieve the specific objectives of 
      the pre-test, protocols were developed and tested, and methods for household 
      interviewing and clinic testing were designed and revised. The cost, logistics 
      and suitability of using fixed sites for the CHMS were assessed. Although data 
      collection, transfer and storage procedures are complex, the pre-test experience 
      confirmed Statistics Canada's ability to conduct a direct health measures survey 
      and the willingness of Canadians to participate in such a health survey. Many 
      operational and logistical procedures worked well and, with minor modifications, 
      are being employed in the main survey. Fixed sites were problematic, and survey 
      costs were higher than expected.
