Topics are revisited at appropriate intervals in order to monitor change. <br> <br> Further information about the series may be found on the NHS Digital <a href="http://content.digital.nhs.uk/article/3741/Health-Survey-for-England-Health-social-care-and-lifestyles" title="Health Survey for England; health, social care and lifestyles">Health Survey for England; health, social care and lifestyles</a> webpage, the NatCen Social Research <a href="http://www.natcen.ac.uk/our-research/research/health-survey-for-england/" title="NatCen Health Survey for England">NatCen Health Survey for England</a> webpage and the University College London Health and Social Surveys Research Group&nbsp;<a title="UCL Health Survey for England" href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/epidemiology-health-care/research/epidemiology-and-public-health/research/health-and-social-surveys-research-group/studies-0">UCL Health Survey for England</a>&nbsp;webpage.<br> <br> <p><strong>Changes to the HSE from 2015</strong>:<br> Users should note that from 2015 survey onwards, only the individual data file is available. The household data file is no longer released for analysis. In addition, users may see other changes; for example only grouped age is now available instead of single year of age. NHS Digital have issued the following statement on changes to the HSE from 2015:<br> <br> "NHS Digital has recently reviewed how we manage access to survey datasets. In doing this we have sought to strike a balance between protecting the privacy of individuals and enabling maximum use of these valuable, publicly funded data collections. We have thoroughly reviewed our disclosure control measures, including taking advice from experts at the Office of National Statistics. The result is that additional disclosure control measures have been applied to the 2015 survey [onwards] to enable a suitable dataset to be made available through the UK Data Service via end user licence. This involved providing less detail on some aspects, such as geographical classifications, ethnicity and household relationships. To provide greater protection of the answers of children and adults within households it is not possible to identify people within the same household on this dataset, however parent/guardian derived variables appended to their children (if they have any) have been added to enable some intra‐household analysis.”</p> <p><br> It is hoped that a second dataset with more detail including family and household relationships will be made available via Special Licence. In the meantime, researchers who want to do analysis of health and behaviours within families or households, and the derived intra-household variables do not meet your needs, are advised to register their interest for a more detailed dataset with NatCen Social Research and provide information about their proposed research and which data they want.</p>
The HSE 2009 provides data at both national and regional level about the population living in private households in England. The sample comprised of two components: the core (general population) sample and a boost sample of children. The core sample was designed to be representative of the population living in private households in England.<br> <br> For the core sample, all adults 16 years or older at each household were selected for the interview (maximum ten adults). However, a maximum of two children aged 0-15 were interviewed per household. For households with three or more children, interviewers selected two children at random. At boost addresses interviewers screened for households containing at least one child aged 2-15 years. For households which included eligible children, up to two 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 third edition (January 2015), extra variables covering renal analytes were added to the individual data file. These resulted from additional analysis carried out on blood samples taken during the survey, to provide results for Serum cystatin C. The documentation has been updated accordingly.<br> <br>
<B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>
The HSE 2009 was a short survey with a relatively small sample size, providing an update on core topics. Small additional modules of questions were also included, covering kidney disease, and personal care plans for those with long-standing illnesses or conditions.<br> <br> Data collection involved an interview, followed by a visit from a specially trained nurse for all those in the core sample who agreed. The nurse visit included measurements and collection of blood, saliva and urine samples, as well as additional questions.
