Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The 1998 Health Education Monitoring Survey (HEMS) was the fourth survey in the series, and was carried out with two aims in mind: to continue to monitor the health promotion indicators relating to health-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour (developed by the Health Education Authority (HEA) for the 1995 and 1996 HEMS), and to investigate the links between social inequality, social support, social capital, health and health behaviours.

Main Topics:

Household characteristics, socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, general health, social support and social capital, activities of daily living for those aged 65 and over, behaviour in the sun, smoking and drinking (self-completion for those aged 16 and 17 years), physical activity, diet, sexual health (self-completion). Questions on health and the environment were included, but no questions on drugs were asked in the 1998 survey. Unlike previous years, proxy interviews were not carried out.
