Herefordshire Regional Lifestyle Survey 2005

In spring 2005 the West Midlands Regional Observatory (WMRO), in partnership with the West Midlands Public Health Observatory (WMPHO), undertook a region-wide survey to explore the attitudes of adult residents (18 years old and over) towards lifestyle, environmental and wider quality of life issues. The survey has been funded and supported by a broad range of partners across the region, including Herefordshire Council and Herefordshire PCT.

The Regional Lifestyle Survey 2005 (RLS 2005) was undertaken to provide an understanding of the views and motivations of residents in the region relating to key strands of regional and local policy. It is intended to provide an up-to-date picture and coverage of a wider range of topics than achieved in any previous lifestyle survey undertaken in the West Midlands region. It is expected that the results will be used as part of the evidence base to support national, regional and local policy formulation and monitoring. It is envisaged that the survey will be repeated on a three or four year cycle, and provide a measure of change over time.
