The authors present the process of setting up a mental health inquiry. The "Enquête Santé Québec" was conducted at the request of the Ministry of Social Affairs in order to identify the problems, needs and priority intervention sectors in the health field. The inquiry was carried out on a large scale at the pilot stage, collecting information on 4,000 people in rural and urban areas. The principal options chosen are briefly discussed: type of mental health to be measured, sample methods, choice of instruments, validation work and some results.
