One in 20 East Lancashire residents are to be asked about their health habits for the area's biggest lifestyle survey in 10 years.
Surveys are going out to find out what health problems people suffer and the social issues they face.
The survey was last carried out in 1996 and will be used to help NHS managers target resour-ces and services.
It is to be conducted for East Lancashire's three NHS primary care trusts by the University of Salford.
