A survey will be sent to 5,000 households to learn about residents' health and wellbeing needs.
North Somerset Council's Health and Wellbeing Survey will be sent out to randomly selected residents from October 31.
The survey aims to help the council understand residents' needs and shape future decisions and service design.
Government funding has been allocated to help the council learn about the needs of the population, particularly in the post-pandemic period, and the effects on residents' health and wellbeing.
The survey will help the council understand residents' needs, experiences, and feelings about their health and wellbeing, and identify any barriers they face.
North Somerset Council will use this information to make data-informed decisions and reduce inequalities.
The survey is aimed at adults in North Somerset and the selected 5,000 households will receive a link to complete it.
Residents can also request the survey in different formats from Public Perspectives, who are conducting the survey on the council's behalf.
Councillor Jenna Ho Marris, executive member for homes and health at North Somerset Council, said: "If you receive a copy of the survey, please complete it as soon as you can.
"We need the results to fully understand the health and wellbeing needs of residents across North Somerset.
"This will also shape important work that we are planning to do to reduce health inequalities across our area.
"It is ten years since we conducted a survey of this kind.
"We will be able to compare how things have changed over time.
"We also plan some focus groups about the health and wellbeing of our children and young people.
"This grant is also supporting getting the North Somerset Citizens' Panel going again, which is another way to have regular conversations with our community.
"This work will help us decide where we need to focus our money, time and resources to support the people in our communities."
In addition to the household survey, the council plans to conduct focus group work with children and young people in the coming year, as well as establish a citizens' panel.
This will allow for regular conversations with the North Somerset community.
