The aims of the HSE series are:<ul><li>to provide annual data about the nation s health</li><li>to estimate the proportion of people in England with specified health conditions</li><li>to estimate the prevalence of certain risk factors associated with these conditions</li><li>to examine differences between population subgroups in their likelihood of having specific conditions or risk factors</li><li>to assess the frequency with which particular combinations of risk factors are found, and which groups these combinations most commonly occur</li><li>to monitor progress towards selected health targets</li><li>since 1995, to measure the height of children at different ages, replacing the <i>National Study of Health and Growth</i></li><li>since 1995, monitor the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children</li></ul>The survey focuses on different health issues each year, although a number of core questions are included every year. Topics are revisited at appropriate intervals in order to monitor change:<ul><li>in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1998, 2003 and 2006, the survey focused on cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors</li><li>in 1995 and 1996, the major focus of the survey was atopic disease (including asthma and eczema), accidents and disability</li><li>in 1997 the survey report focused on the health of young people aged 2-24 years, and combined data (in report format only) from the 1995-1997 surveys</li><li>in 1999 and again in 2004, the focus was on the health of minority ethnic groups. The boost sample was designed solely to yield additional interviews with members of the most populous minority ethnic groups: Black Caribbean, Black African (covered in 2004 only), Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Chinese and Irish</li><li>in 2000 and 2005, the survey focused on the health of older people; the HSE 2000 included a sample of care home residents, whereas HSE 2005 included a boost sample of people aged 65 and over resident in private households</li><li>the 2001 survey included for the first time questions on fruit and vegetable consumption</li><li>the 2002 survey focused on children, young people and maternal health, and included a boost sample of young people aged 0 to 24 years and mothers of infants aged under one year</li><li>the 2007 survey focused on knowledge and attitudes towards key aspects of lifestyle, and monitoring any impact from the 2007 smokefree legislation</li><li>the 2008 survey primary focus was physical activity and fitness </li><li>the 2009 survey focused on long-term health conditions and self-assessed general health. In addition it looked at the effectiveness and use of personal care plans</li></ul>Further information about the HSE may be found on the <a href="http://www.dh.gov.uk/PublicationsAndStatistics/PublishedSurvey/HealthSurveyForEngland/fs/en" title="Health Survey for England">Department of Health</a>, the <a href="http://www.ic.nhs.uk/statistics-and-data-collections/health-and-lifestyles-related-surveys/health-survey-for-england" title="Health Survey for England - The Information Centre">Information Centre for Health and Social Care</a> and National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) <a href="http://www.natcen.ac.uk/series/health-survey-for-england" title="Health Survey for England">Health Survey for England</a> web pages.<br> <br> The, <i>Health Survey for England, 2002: Teaching Dataset</i>, based on 60 variables and the general population sample for HSE 2002, has been prepared by ESDS Government, and is held at the Archive under SN 5033.<br>The HSE 2005 was designed to provide data at both national and regional level about the population living in private households in England. The sample comprised three components: the core (general population) sample; a boost sample of people aged 65 years and over (those living in institutions were not included); and a boost sample of children aged 2-15. The core sample was designed to be representative of the population living in private households in England and should be used for analyses at the national level. <br> <br> All private households in the general population sample are eligible for inclusion in the survey (up to a maximum of three households per address). For the core sample, up to two children aged 0-15 are interviewed in each household, as well as up to 10 adults aged 16 and over. At boost sample addresses, interviewers screened for households containing at least one person of either of the age groups covered in the boost: persons aged 65 and over, or (for certain months) children aged 2-15 years. Because of funding restrictions, the boost sample only included children during fieldwork conducted in January, February, October, November and December. At each household where people of the eligible ages were found, all persons aged 65 and over, and up to two eligible children were selected by the interviewer for inclusion in the survey. Interviewing was conducted throughout the year to take account of seasonal differences.<br> <br> For the second edition (April 2010), three new children's Body Mass Index (BMI) variables have been added to the individual data file (bmicat1, bmicat2, bmicat3). The original variables (bmicut, bmicut2, bmicut3) are unreliable and should not be used. Further information is available in the documentation and on the Information Centre for Health and Social Care <a href=" http://www.ic.nhs.uk/statistics-and-data-collections/health-and-lifestyles-related-surveys/health-survey-for-england" title "Health Survey for England" >Health Survey for England</a> web page.<br> <br> For the third edition (July 2011), the GHQ12 variables were amended to correct errors in the GHQ12 scores. See document 'Note about GHQ12 problems in HSE Data' for details.<br> <br></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>For adult respondents, the HSE 2005 focused on the health of older people. All adults were asked modules of questions on general health, alcohol consumption, smoking, fruit and vegetable consumption and complementary and alternative medicine. Older informants were also asked about use of health, dental and social care services, cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic diseases and quality of care, disabilities and falls. Older informants in the boost sample received a slightly shorter questionnaire, omitting questions about fruit and vegetable consumption and complementary and alternative medicines. An interview with each eligible person was followed by a nurse visit. <br> <br> Children aged 13-15 years were interviewed themselves, and parents of children aged 0-12 were asked about their children. The child interview included questions on physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption.<br> <br> Standard Measures:<ul><li>General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12)</li><li>Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)</li><li>Geriatric Depression Score</li><li>EQ-5D Health State</li></ul></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> January 2005 - June 2006 <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) in the general population, living in private households in England during 2005.
