The 2000 survey was conducted among a sample of 13,685 people. They were given a multi-topic questionnaire covering various health-related factors, such as tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use, physical activity, vaccination, sexuality, and more. For this new edition, the survey also included new indicators related to quality of life, experiences of violence, and suicidal thoughts.

The 2000 edition is presented in two volumes.

• The first volume focuses on the methodology used. It informs the reader about the context, the history of the Health Barometer, the method chosen for data collection, the development and presentation of the questionnaire, as well as the implementation of the field survey, including the selection of the polling institute, the conduct of the pilot survey, and the proposed survey protocol.

• The second volume presents the results. After defining the statistical terms used, the following 14 chapters provide a detailed analysis of each topic covered in the survey, followed by reflections and discussions regarding the results obtained.
