Data collection was conducted between August 2002 and November 2003 in First Nations communities across Canada.  A total of 22,602 surveys were administered. Three age-specific questionnaires were completed for:
- 10,962 adults, 18 years of age and over (by interview);
- 4,983 youth, 12 to 17 years of age (self-administered); and
- 6,657 children, 0 to 11 years of age (the parent or guardian responded).
