Chronic disease and injury are the major causes of death in Taiwan, and most of them are associated with behavioral risk factors. This study was conducted from December 1994 through March 1995, to establish a baseline prevalence for behavioral risk factors in Hualien County. A systematic sampling method was used to select 2331 individuals from 87, 173 households included in Hualien County’s phone listing in 1993. Based on results from the 1607 valid telephone interviews, men were more likely than women to report smoking (46.7% vs 7.4%), alcohol abuse(7.7% vs 2.7%), obesity (11.1% vs 7.6%), as well as drinking and driving(40.6% vs 13.4). Women were slightly more likely to report lack of awareness of blood pressure (45.8% vs 40.0%) and never use a seatbelt (93.1% vs 82.9%). Compared with Chinese Han women, the prevalence of behavioral risk factors was significantly higher in aboriginal females. The results of this study will be useful in the development of disease prevention programs and the evaluation of existion programs.
