Tóm tắt :

Monitoring health is an essential task of country systems for health information and of measuring the European Region’s progress towards health for all, the policy which includes internationally agreed indicators for countries to use. Health interview surveys provide the best means to collect data on some of the indicators that reflect more recent public health concerns such as health-related behaviour and quality of life. The surveys mirror the information that only properly approached individuals may be able to provide and ensure the coverage of all population subgroups. Yet they enjoy a long tradition in only a few countries. Moreover, information on indicators is sometimes not comparable. The methods and instruments of data collection have often been developed without international coordination or adapted from those in use in other countries, usually with substantial changes to meet local requirements. Also, countries lacking a tradition of health interviewing are often uncertain about the best way to conduct surveys. The WHO Regional Office for Europe and Statistics Netherlands organized meetings to tackle these problems, resulting in the internationally agreed methods and instruments for health interview surveys that are set out in this book. These are likely to become standards and thus improve the information comparability. The book provides practical guidance on health interview surveys, describes their role in health for all monitoring, the development and use of methods and instruments, and the prospects for harmonizing the surveys across the European Region. xiii, 161 p.
