The main objective of the Survey on Opioid Awareness is to better understand the current level of knowledge of the general Canadian population regarding opioids. This survey will also collect information regarding the willingness and ability of Canadians to act in the event of an opioid overdose.
The survey results could be used by government officials, social services, community organizations and police departments to help tailor future awareness campaigns with the goal of reducing risks.
Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
