Health Canada has developed a series of research tools. These tools assess the extent a group of individuals are following Canada’s food guide:
- Healthy Eating Food Index
- Canadian Food Intake Screener
- Canadian Eating Practices Screener
This page provides detailed information on the Healthy Eating Food Index (HEFI). The pdf document entitled "Calculating HEFI scores" describes how to calculate HEFI-2019 scores. The accompanying data files provide the user with the SAS macro and the information to apply the SAS macro.
