STEPS Survey - The WHO STEPwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS) of risk factors is a simple, standardized method for collecting, analysing and disseminating data for chronic disease risk factors in WHO member countries.By using the same standardized questions and protocols, all countries can use STEPS information not only for monitoring within-country trends, but also for making comparisons across countries. The approach encourages the collection of small amounts of useful information on a regular and continuing basis adopting a standard methodology to detect trends over time by age and sex.

STEPS risk factors is a sequential process, starting with gathering information on key risk factors by:

  • using a questionnaire (Step 1),
  • then moving to simple physical measurements (Step 2),
  • and only then recommending the collection of blood samples for biochemical assessment (Step 3).
