About the survey
Information about health risk behaviours provides an opportunity to improve the Queenslanders' health and wellbeing as well as reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Often, it is collected from the general population rather than from patients in a medical setting such as a general practice or hospital. The most cost-efficient way to collect this information is by a telephone survey.
Queensland Health conducts preventive health telephone surveys for adults and children.
The survey series focuses on key preventive health indicators such as:
- obesity
- physical activity
- nutrition
- sunburn and sun protection
- adult smoking and alcohol consumption
