Health Survey for England
The Health Survey for England (HSE) is a statistical survey which is conducted annually in order to collect information concerning health and health-related behaviour of people living in private households in England.
The HSE was set up in 1991 to provide information about life-style and behaviour choices with the aim of improving the targeting of national health policies. From 1991 to 1994, the survey was conducted by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys which is now part of the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This changed in 1994 and the survey is now conducted by the Joint Survey Unit of the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London.[1]
The HSE consists of core questions that remain relatively unchanged except for updating for policy changes, e.g. the addition of questions on e-cigarettes. These core questions are included on a regular basis, e.g. every year, every two years, every 3 years depending upon demand. In addition, over the years, the HSE has included additional modules of questions at various intervals to allow the monitoring of change. Some of these modules of questions have been funded by other organisations such as government departments and charities. These additional modules are repeated in appropriate intervals to assure continuity and to monitor change. Data is collected through an interview survey and a nurse visit. The interview survey takes approximately 60 minutes and includes height and weight measurement if the participant consents. The nurse visit is used to collect data on medications and to collect further health examination data, such as urine, saliva or blood samples, blood pressure measurements or other measures, depending on the focus topics of that year.
Since 1991, the following topics have been in the focus of the HSE:
• 1993 Cardiovascular disease
• 1994 Cardiovascular disease
• 1995 Asthma, accidents and disability
• 1996 Asthma, accidents and special measures of general health
