Abstract

The survey is a part of the European Health Survey System in the framework of the European Statistical System. The EHIS aims at measuring on a harmonised basis and with a high degree of comparability among EU Member States, the health status, life style (health determinants) and health care services use of the EU citizens.

The first wave of EHIS level was launched under a gentlemen’s agreement and implemented in Bulgaria in 2008. The second and the third wave of EHIS was conducted under Regulation 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on Community statistics on public health and health and safety at work.

The topics included in the questionnaire are developed in order to meet main needs as for the management of health care systems, as well as in science. Within these needs, EHIS questions are aimed at meeting the basic needs of information at EU level. They do not cover all detailed aspects of health which can better be carried out via specific surveys at national level.
The questionnaire consists of four modules.

European Health Status Module;
European Health Care Module;
European Health Determinants Module (life style);
Background Module (Standardised Social variables).
