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 fifth 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 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, which included a self-completion element, on a range of health related topics. Parents/Guardians of 2-12 year olds were interviewed about the child. The interview collected information relating to respondents' history of respiratory and atopic conditions, non-fatal accidents, general health and disability. Adults were questioned about smoking and drinking behaviour. All respondents aged 8 and over were also asked to complete a booklet. For adults and young adults (from the age of 13) these self-completion documents contained the General Health Questionnaire, designed to measure psychosocial well-being. 8-17 year olds completed questions on smoking and drinking experiences. Adults aged 16 and over were asked about incontinence and prescription contraceptives. All respondents were then asked to have their height and weight measured. A limited amount of proxy information was obtained, where possible, about those unwilling or unable to take part in the survey.<br> <br> Those who agreed to the second visit, made later by a nurse, were then surveyed about their use of prescribed medications. Then, if the respondent was willing, further anthropometric measurements (i.e. demi-span, mid-upper arm circumference) were taken, their blood pressure was measured and they provided a blood sample (which was analysed for IgE, house dust mite IgE, and for children, ferritin, and haemoglobin). For a part of the year, blood was also analysed for lead content. <br> Standard measures:<br> General health questionnaire (GHQ12) - copyright David Goldberg, 1978 reproduced by permission of NFER - NELSON.<br> <br> Data on age at death, date of death and causes of death (ICD codes) are also included for those respondents known to have died.
