What is the New Zealand Health Survey? The New Zealand
Health Survey collects information about the health of New Zealanders and the
health services they use. Every year, about 14,000 New Zealand households
take part in the survey – addresses from across New Zealand are chosen
randomly, with different households invited to take part in the survey each
month. Information about the survey is available in a number of different
languages: English,
Māori,
Samoan,
Tongan,
Cook
Island Māori, Niuean, Fijian,
Chinese,
Korean,
Hindi
and Punjabi.

About the survey The survey collects
information about common health conditions and diseases, health services
used, and factors that affect New Zealanders’ health. This information is used
to give a picture of the health of New Zealanders, how they use health
services such as GPs and hospitals, and to develop health programmes and
services. From each selected
household, one adult aged 15 years or over and one child are invited to take part
(parents/guardians are invited to complete the survey on behalf of children
under 15 years). |
