The dataset will help class tutors to incorporate empirical data into their courses and thus to develop students skills in quantitative methods of analysis.<br> <br> All the variables and value labels are those used in the original HSE files, with one exception (New-wt) which is a new weighting variable derived by ESDS Government.<br> <br> Users may be interested in the <i>Guide to using SPSS for Windows</i> available from <a href="http://www.esds.ac.uk/government/resources/statguides.asp" title="ESDS Government Online statistical guides">Online statistical guides</a> and which explores this dataset.<br> <br> The original HSE 2002 dataset is held at the UK Data Archive under SN: 4912.<br> <br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>The HSE, 2002 : Teaching Dataset includes 60 variables, and only the 9,281 cases from the general population sample; the boost sample cases of young people aged 0-24 and mothers of children aged under one year are excluded. Most of the variables contained within the dataset are individual ones, and require individual based analysis. However, there are a number of household-level variables included such as  TenureB and  Hhsize . The dataset contains a mix of discrete and continuous variables and all, apart from the weighting variable 'New_wt', are taken directly from the HSE 2002 dataset deposited at UKDA. The variable names on the Teaching Dataset correspond directly to those on the 2002 HSE dataset.<br> <br> Topics covered include demographic characteristics, illness and general health, recent periods of sickness, medication used, contraception, smoking, alcohol use, consumption of fruit and vegetables, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12) score, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio and blood pressure measurement.<br> <br> <i>Standard Measures</i><br> The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12), which has 12 items, is used widely to screen for psycho-social disorders. It asks questions about general level of happiness, depression, anxiety and self-confidence. A score of four or more has been used to identify potential psychological disorder.<br></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> January 2002 - March 2002 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Government Office Regions (GORs);Health Authorities (England) <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Adults (aged 16 and over) and children (aged 0-15 years) living in private households in England in the year 2002. </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study<br> The main Health Survey for England is a repeated cross-sectional series, conducted annually.
