How much do you drink on a Friday night? This health survey wants to know. It also asks how people deal with stress, exercise and extreme weather in B.C.
How much do you drink on a Friday night? Do you lie awake at night worrying about a rent hike or mortgage rate increase? How much time do your kids spend on their phones? When’s the last time you went for a hike or hit the gym?
The first two surveys focused primarily on B.C. residents’ experiences during the pandemic and immediately afterwards. The current survey delves into recovery from the pandemic, but also addresses many broader determinants of health that have been captured in previous surveys, ranging from physical and mental health levels to social and economic circumstances.
Getting responses from as wide a segment of the population as possible is important, because the information is used by a wide variety of government agencies and stakeholders, says North Shore medical health officer Dr. Alex Choi. Those include not only public health officials, but also municipal and regional governments, for instance, which might draw on the information when making planning decisions.
