North Cumbria Health Survey 2003

In September 2003 the three Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in North Cumbria sent a health and lifestyle survey to a ten percent sample of the adult population registered with a doctor in North Cumbria. The survey asked 49 questions on a variety of subjects such as general health, smoking, and diet. The analysis of these questions aims to give a clearer picture of the health of people in North Cumbria and highlight local health inequalities across the PCT areas.

The ten percent sample of the adult (18 and over) population registered with a general practitioner gave a sample size of 25,504. Unfortunately a number of people did not receive or wish to participate in the survey leaving a sample of 24,204. The response rate across North Cumbria was high with 71.2 percent of people completing and returning the survey.
