Nauru STEPS 2004

The Nauru-STEPS survey was a representative, population-wide cross-sectional survey and involved collectingdata on levels of NCD risk factors among 15-64 year olds. Data collection moved along a sequential three-step process as follows:

STEP 1: Interview-based questionnaire on selected major health risk behaviours including smoking, alcohol consumption, fruit and vegetable consumption, and physical activity. Additional issues deemed to be of importance in Nauru included history of high blood pressure, diabetes, self-rated general well-being, perceived susceptibility to diabetes and psychosocial and environmental factors related to health behaviours.

STEP 2: Physiological measures of health risks such as blood pressure, body mass and waist girth circumference.

STEP 3: Biochemical measures of health risks including fasting blood glucose and blood lipids. Assessment of albuminuria level was also undertaken in Nauru.

All aspects of the survey were managed by the Nauru MOH staff.
