 My name is Mori Dubsismith. I'm the Director of Health and Biomedical Surveys at the National Center for Social Research. So what this first session here is doing is giving you an update about the health surveys or surveys that cover health, indeed health, what has happened to them over the past year, what kind of developments there have been, what kind of new studies are going into the field. And these studies are all in first. Currently they are going to get that at some point over the next few years. So this is to give you an overview of what kind of data might be, is going to be available for analysis and research in the future. So it's quite a long session. We start off with a bit of a long presentation that does a visit of talk of the main health surveys that are in the field at the moment. And then we take a team dive into two surveys. So first we're looking at the mental health of children and young people study, which Tamsin also spoke about in the in-house keynote. And then we also have another presentation about active life survey. And then we round off the session with two presentations on longitudinal studies, what has been going on on the birth cohorts and what is happening in an understanding society. So the session itself is an hour and an hour and a half long. And the first presentation is going to be a bit longer. The other ones are going to be shorter. And we take questions at the end of each of the presentations. So now I'm going to hand over to Susanne. Susanne is a senior researcher at Natsen. And she has worked on a number of health studies including agency and EMT. So today I'm going to present on a sort of whistle stop tour of many of the health surveys that we run at the National Centre for Social Research. Some of them I work on myself, others my colleagues have kindly shared their knowledge with me. So any errors are my own, not theirs. So here's just a list of the studies that will go through today. As you can see there are quite a few of them. So it will be kind of a very brief overview of each one. And we'll look at the methods, the content, the fieldwork and where relevant any reports that have come out from those studies. I'm not going to talk about any findings in this presentation because there isn't enough time. But there are reports available. And then Natsen also carries out MHCYP entry to discuss this separately after my presentation. So first we'll talk about the health survey for England. So HSE is a nationally representative sample based on the random selection of households across England. It's a health examination survey and that means that we collect both self-reported data from participants as well as physical measurements and biological data. We've collected data on HSE annually and it's been running for over 30 years. And this enables us to monitor trends in the health of the nation. HSE is a cross-sectional survey and it has a fresh sample of participants every year. And we try and interview approximately 8,000 adults and 2,000 child participants each year. And the study is commissioned by NHS England and it's carried out by a collaborative team between the National Centre for Social Research and UCL. So here's just a brief overview of some of the content in HSE. And so it includes core content every year and then additional content that comes into some years. And these lists here aren't exhaustive but they give an indication of some of the different topics covered in the interview and the biomedical visits. So the most recent HSE report on findings was on 2021 data and we published this in two parts. So in December 2022, we published a report on adult health related behaviours and overweight and obesity in adults. And then in May this year, we published on adult health, physical activity, social care, gambling and loneliness. Unfortunately, we weren't able to report on children's health in 2021 because of the low number of children taking part as we came out of the pandemic. And the data for HSE 2021 will be available on the archive later this year. And then HSE 2022 is currently in field. And fieldwork was extended for the 2022 survey due to industry-wide fieldwork challenges. The majority of fieldwork for HSE 2022 is being conducted face to face. And that's true of most of the studies that I'll talk about today. As with HSE 2021, we're going to publish the report for 2022 in two parts. And we're currently working on a green content for this. And that will be W1 part that's published in spring next year and one part in summer next year. And we will be able to include a report on children's health and children's health related behaviours using 2022 data. And then we'll move on to the Scottish Health Survey. So SHES is a national survey of the health of the Scottish population. And it's designed to represent people of different ages, sexes, demographic areas and backgrounds. SHES is designed to estimate, analyse, compare and monitor health and health related behaviours amongst the population. It started in 1995 and has been conducted annually since 2008. So we're able to look at trends. And it was commissioned by the Scottish government and is carried out by the Scottish Centre for Social Research, ONS and academic collaborators as listed on the slide. And SHES interviews approximately 4,300 adults and 1,700 children each year. So here's a list of core topics that are included in SHES for 2023. And again, fieldwork is being conducted primarily face to face. But there is a telephone contingency if needed. And each year on SHES we have rotating modules. So these are the modules that are in 2023. So you have the CAPI. And then there's also a self completion that's for participants age 16 of over. And then finally, we aren't able to get a sufficiently large sample of interviews either with or about children as part of the core sample. So we also use a child boost sample on SHES. And prior to September last year, we didn't have any indication before visiting a household of whether or not there would be children there or not. So we had to issue a larger sample with the assumption that around 80% of them wouldn't actually have children in them. And obviously this is not a very efficient way to work a sample and to get those child interviews. So in September last year, a new method was introduced where addresses were matched to the community health database to give us a better idea of whether or not a household had children in it. It's not completely accurate as obviously people move house, records aren't updated, etc. But it does give us a much more efficient sample. We estimate that around 34% of households don't have children in them compared to the 80% previously. And so far, this method has been working really well for the child boost. And now I'll speak about the English Longitudinal Study of Aging, or ELSA. So ELSA is a longitudinal study. And it follows a sample in England, who are aged 50 and over. It's been running since 2002. So last year, it celebrated its 20th anniversary. The sample for ELSA is drawn from the Health Survey for England, and it's refreshed periodically. The ELSA interview includes kind of main CAPI interview that's conducted roughly every two years. And then there are also biomedical visits every four years. And the aim of ELSA is to collect data across health, economic and social domains. So in terms of what's currently happening on ELSA, Wave 10 data collection was disrupted by COVID, but it was completed in March this year. And that was conducted by a mixture of face-to-face interviews and video interviews. And we also included a refreshment sample in Wave 10, and that had an ethnic minority boost. We're currently working on getting Wave 11 of ELSA ready to go into the field, and that will launch next month. And this again will be face-to-face visits. Wave 11 will include a nurse visit, so to collect biomeasures. And there is also an additional refreshment sample included in Wave 11. And then finally, we also have Wave 2 of the Healthy Cognitive Aging Project, or HCAP, is currently in field. And this is a sub-study from ELSA that aims to investigate dementia risk by using a harmonised cognitive assessment protocol. And then for data delivery, there are three data deliveries expected to UKDS over the next year, where ELSA data will become available. And we'll move on to the Adult Psychiatric Mobility Survey, or APMS. So APMS is a nationwide study that's conducted roughly every seven years and has been running since 1993. It provides quality data on the prevalence and trends in mental health in England. It's commissioned by NHS England and sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care. And it's run by Nassan in collaboration with the University of Leicester. And in fields, we call APMS the National Study of Health and Wellbeing. And there's a target sample of around 8,000 interviews. So APMS is currently in field. And we've got a two stage design. So there is a survey questionnaire, an initial interview with participants. And then there's a clinical follow up assessment that's done with just a sub-sample of participants. We also have two samples in fields for 2023. There's the core sample, which has a deprived area boost included. And then we also have the representing ethnic minority groups sample. And this includes individuals from these ethnic backgrounds listed here. So the representing ethnic minority group sample is a key feature of the 2023 survey. And it's a really important part of the survey that we wanted to include to ensure that we have robust data on the mental health and well being of different ethnic groups. So in previous studies, the random selection of addresses has meant that there hasn't been enough people taking part from from different ethnic backgrounds for us to be able to look at the mental health of people in those groups in more detail. Even if we put data from a couple of survey years together, we don't have a big enough sample to carry out the analysis. And the last time a mental health survey focused on people from ethnic minority groups was in 2000. So there's an urgent need to update that data. And as you can see here, from that study, we found that common mental disorders were highest amongst Pakistani men in midlife and Indian Pakistani women compared to white British groups of the same age and sex. And so with the representing ethnic minority groups sample, we'll be able to update this data and do more robust analysis. And then finally for APMS, here is a list of the content that's included in the first survey interview. So there are happy questions delivered by the interviewer. And then there's also a self completion that's done either by Cassie or Kaui on a laptop or on the web. And that includes any of the more sensitive questions that we wouldn't have the interviewer asking participants. And now we'll move on to talk about the National Study of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles or NATSAL. So NATSAL takes place every 10 years, since 1990. And NATSAL 4 launched in September last year. And the purpose of NATSAL is to collect data on health, relationships, experiences and attitudes towards topics related to sex. It informs the HPV vaccination program, the National Committee of Screening Program, as well as relationship and sex education in schools. NATSAL is funded by the Wellcome Trust, the Economic and Social Research Council and the National Institute for Health Research. And it's carried out by a consortium made up of the National Centre for Social Research, UCL, the University of Glasgow and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. So NATSAL is also in fields at the moment. And it includes individuals aged 16 to 59 years across England, Scotland and Wales. And this year we're also including a young person boost of individuals aged 16 to 29. And this is where interviewers are trying to select and interview people of this age in 75% of their addresses to ensure that they are well represented in the sample. And this will enable us to look at, so for example, the HPV vaccinations and cervical screening programs within that age group. So along with a series of questions about their lifestyle and attitudes, participants are asked to provide a biological sample, either a urine sample or a vaginal swab and consent to data linkage. And for the current NATSAL survey year, we've actually got two samples in the field. And the first is from the postcode address file, where addresses are randomly selected and interviewers go and visit face to face to conduct an interview. And then we also have the NATSAN opinion panel. So participants who have previously participated in the British Social Attitude Study and agreed to follow up contact. Interviewers have been conducting telephone interviews with them. And then they'll also be a short web follow up with any non-responders from from the opinion panel. And then moving on to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, or NDNS. So this is a cross sectional continuous study of diet and nutrition of individuals in the UK. It's in its 15th year of NDNS as it currently is. And it's designed to be representative of the general UK population. And it provides information needed to develop and monitor public health and food safety. And DNS is funded by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and Food Standards Agency. And it is conducted by a consortium made up of the National Centre for Social Research, the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge. And then we also have our field work partners, Nisra, who conduct field work in Northern Ireland. So the most recent kind of group of NDNS years are years 12 to 15, so 2019 to 2023. And in this in these years, we moved from the previous dietary intake method, which was paper diaries. And we now use a web based collection of dietary recalls using software called Intate 24. Now, obviously, the the years span to the pandemic. So we used a mixture of telephone and face to face data collection across years 12 to 15 with more face to face towards the end. And then we've also got biomedical visits where we collected blood samples. And then there are also spot urine samples used to measure levels of iodine in the population. We finished all field work now for NDNS, the last biomedical visits for this week. And so we're preparing for the year 12 to 15 UK report and the year 10 to 15, because he has 10 and 11 hasn't haven't been reported on before Northern Ireland reports and they will be published next year with data put onto the archive for shortly after. And now the adult oral health survey. So this provides up to date surveillance information on adult oral health status, health inequalities, oral health related quality of life and all health behaviors. It's been conducted roughly every 10 years since 1968 and it's funded by the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities and the Department of Health and Social Care. And it's run by a consortium made up of NATSEN, ONS and academic partners. As with other surveys, the Oral Health Survey is currently in field for 2023 and we're using a paired visit for the first time where interviewers and dental examiners are going to visit households together. And the interviewer will conduct an interview, including information like household questionnaire, questions on health and lifestyle and oral health behavior. And then the examiner will conduct a dental examination looking at the health of intraoral soft tissues, presence of dentures, tooth condition and tooth wear. And then finally, the gambling survey of Great Britain. So the purpose of this survey is to collect data on gambling behaviors amongst adults in Great Britain. And the aim of the current piece of work is to test new methodology to measure gambling participation and also the prevalence of problem gambling with the aim of replacing existing surveys carried out for the Gambling Commission. And it's commissioned by the Gambling Commission and carried out by us at the National Centre for Social Research in collaboration with Heather Wardall at the University of Glasgow. We're currently in the experimental statistics phase. So we've completed stakeholder engagement and a pilot study and then also a year of experimental statistics looking at different methodology. So for example, different participant selection methods and also different methods of asking about having spent money on gambling activities. And the study is pushed to web with the option of pay the completion. And we're currently considering with the Gambling Commission whether we will roll out the survey. And that is the end of the list and stop talking.
