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 (August 2017), a new version of the individual data file was deposited. A Government Office Region variable has been added, and some previous health authority and socio-economic variables removed.<br /><br /> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> The 1997 survey had two separate elements: an interviewer visit and a nurse visit. At the first visit, all respondents aged 13 and over were asked to give a CAPI (computed assisted) interview on a range of health related topics. Parents/guardians of 2-12 year olds were interviewed about the child. In order to increase the number of children available for analysis in the 1997 survey, the design was modified - please see the section on 'Sampling Procedures' for further details.<br> <br> Information was collected on the following topics:<br> interviewer survey: general health, longstanding illness, limiting longstanding illness, acute sickness, respiratory problems, accidents, eating habits, physical activity, smoking (respondents aged 8 years onwards), drinking (respondents aged 8 years onwards - including CAGE if 16 years and over), height/weight measurements, perception of current weight (respondents aged 8 years onwards), GHQ 12 (respondents aged 13 years and onwards - see definition below), use of contraceptive pill (respondents aged 16 years onwards), individual economic status/occupation (respondents aged 16 years onwards), educational attainment and ethnic group (respondents aged 16 years onwards). Some of the modules were administered by self-completion: information on smoking and drinking (respondents aged 8-24 years only), perception of current weight (all respondents asked), GHQ 12 (all respondents asked), use of contraceptive pill (all respondents asked). The self-completion questionnaire for parents of 4-15 year olds included questions on their child's strengths and difficulties and consultation about behavioural problems.<br> <br> At the nurse visit, information was collected on prescribed drugs (all age groups), vitamin supplements (all age groups) and nicotine replacements (16 years and over only). Upper arm circumference (age 2-17 year olds), waist/hip circumference (16 years and over), blood pressure (5 years and over) and lung function (7 years and over) were measured and blood (18-24 year olds only) and saliva (4-17 year olds only) samples. Blood was analysed for IgE, house dust mite IgE, cotinine and ferritin/haemoglobin. Saliva was analysed for cotinine.<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>
