Serbian Population Health
Survey 2019 is a national survey conducted by the Statistical Office of the
Republic of Serbia in cooperation with the Institute of Public Health of Serbia
and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Serbia from October 1st
to December 30th, 2019, in accordance with international standards
(European Health Interview Survey- EHIS, wave 3).
The survey will cover about
6,000 randomly selected households in Serbia. The involved in the Survey will be
adults aged 15 and over, as well as children and young people aged five to
fourteen.
The main objective of the
health survey is to obtain, on the basis of a representative sample of the
population, a description of the health status of the population, both at the
level of the Republic and at the level of four statistical regions (Vojvodina, Beograd,
Sumadija and Zapadna Srbija, Juzna and Istocna Srbija).
In the essence of the Survey
is the need to obtain information about how people experience their health, the
extent to which they use health care and how they care for their health by
adopting certain lifestyles or relying on preventive and other health services.
The Serbian Population
Health Survey will use two methods of data collection:
• face-to-face interview -
gathering answers to questions during the interviewer-respondent communication
and
• self-completion of the
questionnaire by the respondents without the participation of the interviewer.
During the Survey, basic
anthropological measurements (height, body weight) and blood pressure
measurements of the interviewed persons will be performed.
