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> For the fourth edition (April 2010), three new children's Body Mass Index (BMI) variables have been added to the general population and ethnic boost data files (bmicat1, bmicat2, bmicat3). 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> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> For informants from the specified minority ethnic groups (whether in the general population or the ethnic boost sample), the coverage of the 1999 survey was similar to that for 1998 (SN:4150). The special topics included cardiovascular disease (CVD) for adults and asthma for children. Other topics covered included physical activity, eating habits, psychosocial health, social support, religion and cultural identity, as well as the 'core' topics which are repeated every year: smoking, alcohol consumption, general health, prescribed medication and use of services. For the first time in the Health Survey, informants aged 35 and over had an electrocardiographic measurement (ECG) and (among a sub-sample) a fasting blood sample was taken which was analysed for tricglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and glucose. For each child aged 4-15, parents were asked to complete the Strengths and Difficulties (SDQ) Questionnaire.<br> <br> Informants in the general population sample, unless they were members of the specified minority ethnic groups, were given a short version of the questionnaire covering only the core topics. They did not have the follow-up nurse visit, except for a small sub-sample selected to provide comparisons with minority ethnic groups in respect of measurements not previously employed on the Health Survey, for which therefore earlier reports could not provide comparative data.<br> <br> Some administrative data and some geographic identifiers have been left out of the dataset.<br> <br> Standard Measures<br> General health questionnaire (GHQ12) - copyright David Goldberg, 1978 reproduced by permission of NFER - NELSON. <br> Rose angina questionnaire.<br> Medical Research Council respiratory questionnaire.<br> Strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ).
