National health and wellbeing Survey
The Health Research Board invites tenders by open competition to undertake, analyse, report on the findings of a National Health and Wellbeing Survey on behalf of the Department of Health.
This Survey will comprise of two sections: (1) General survey questionnaire and (2) Physical measurement. The tender is for one survey commencing in 2012.
The Department, which has responsibility for the development and dissemination of health promotion policy has commissioned a number of surveys in the past to provide a reliable national data set on health and related behaviours among Irish adults to inform this policy development process. The National Health and Lifestyle (SLÁN) Surveys 1, 2 & 3 were carried out in 1998, 2003 and 2007 respectively. This comprehensive data set is an important resource which the Department now seeks to build on and expand.
The Department, in consultation with its stakeholders, is currently developing a new Public Health Policy Framework (2012-2020). Arising from this work and in line with its objective to develop comprehensive databases which monitor the health status of the Irish population, the Department is now commissioning the first of what it expects to become a rolling National Health and Wellbeing Survey.
The Health Research Board has agreed to undertake the commissioning process for this Survey on behalf of the Department. The Health Research Board’s mission is to improve people’s health, patient care and health service delivery by:
— Leading and supporting excellent research by outstanding people within a coherent health research system,
— Generating knowledge and promoting its application in policy and practice.
