A study was conducted by Health Canada to survey the general public, including non-smokers and smokers, in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, and British Columbia. The survey was conducted to measure knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of the population, both smokers and non-smokers, to serve as a baseline against which to measure and evaluate the impact of the smoking bans. A total of 1,468 adults, including 800 smokers, were surveyed in British Columbia on attitudes toward second-hand smoke and smoking in public places, during the same timeframe, also using a random-digit dial sampling process and trained, bilingual interviewers to administer the questionnaire. The margin of error for samples of this size is also plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, 19 times in 20 for the overall sample and plus or minus 3.5 per cent for smokers. The questionnaire was largely replicated from previous iterations with other provinces, although some items were changed based on the needs and laws in each province.

The main objective of the Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey is to gather information about the prevalence of cigarette smoking, vaping, and cannabis use. Until 2017, Statistics Canada conducted the Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey (CTADS), which collected data on tobacco as well as alcohol and drug use in Canada. In 2019, the Canadian Alcohol and Drugs Survey (CADS) was conducted to collect data on alcohol and drug use independently from the Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey (CTNS), which was conducted primarily to collect data on tobacco and nicotine use.

The Canadian COVID-19 Antibody and Health Survey will collect information in two parts. The first part is an electronic questionnaire about general health and exposure to COVID-19. The second part is an at-home finger-prick blood test, which is sent to a lab to determine the presence of COVID-19 antibodies. The data will be used to: estimate how many Canadians test positive for antibodies even if they have never had symptoms of COVID-19 better understand the social distancing behaviours of Canadians and their general health during the pandemic. This important information will help evaluate the extent of the health status associated with the COVID-19 pandemic such as the prevalence of infection even for people who have never had symptoms, among a representative sample of Canadians. Through the integration with health and social administrative data, the survey will also provide a platform to explore emerging public health issues, including the impact of COVID-19 on health and social well-being. It also aims to shed light on immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 in a diversity of communities, age brackets, populations, and occupational groups across the nation.
