Description: <P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><div>The <span style="font-style: italic;">Health Survey for England </span>(HSE)<span style="font-style: italic;">&nbsp;</span>is a series of surveys designed to monitor trends in the nation's health.&nbsp; It was commissioned by NHS Digital and carried out by the Joint Health Surveys Unit of the National Centre for Social Research and the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London.</div><div><br></div><div>The aims of the HSE series are:</div><ul><li>to provide annual data about the nation’s health;</li><li>to estimate the proportion of people in England with specified health conditions;</li><li>to estimate the prevalence of certain risk factors associated with these conditions;</li><li>to examine differences between population subgroups in their likelihood of having specific conditions or risk factors;</li><li>to assess the frequency with which particular combinations of risk factors are found, and which groups these combinations most commonly occur;</li><li>to monitor progress towards selected health targets</li><li>since 1995, to measure the height of children at different ages, replacing the National Study of Health and Growth;</li><li>since 1995, monitor the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children.</li></ul>The survey includes a number of core questions every year but also focuses on different health issues at each wave. 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>
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 />
