West Midlands Regional Lifestyle Survey 2005
Synopsis:
The West Midlands Regional Lifestyle Survey was a joint venture
between the PHO and West Midlands Regional Observatory. The
fieldwork for the study was undertaken by the market research company
BMG Research. Funding for the survey was provided by a range of
partners including PCT's and Local Authorities with additional funding
from the European Social Fund (ESF). The self-administered
questionnaire asked a range of questions on health status, health
behaviours and wider determinants of health including education, housing
and access to services.
In total 173,328 questionnaires were mailed to
residents across the West Midlands Region with 56,688 usable returns.
This equated to a 33% response rate which was considerably lower than
that which had been estimated from the pilot. Despite this
shortcoming the sample profile did not deviate significantly from the
Census 2001.
