| Health and Welfare Canada (now Health Canada) was interested in collecting information to assist them in planning programs to encourage Canadians to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles. |

| The Health Promotion Survey, conducted in 1985, provided the baseline information on current attitudes and behaviours. The survey was conducted again in 1990 to evaluate programs initiated by Health and Welfare to promote health. |
| The target population for the HPS was all persons 15 years of age or older living in Canada with the following two exceptions:
1. residents of the Yukon and the Northwest Territories;
2. full-time residents of institutions.
Because the HPS was conducted using telephone sampling techniques, households (and thus persons living in households) that do not have telephones were obviously excluded from the surveyed population. This accounts for less than 3% of the total population. However, the survey estimates have been weighted to include persons without telephones |
