Health and Lifestyle Survey

A health and lifestyle survey was undertaken in County Durham and Darlington in order to inform health strategies of the Primary Care Trusts. A stratified random sample of the population was asked to participate and a questionnaire was posted to those people who consented. The compelling message this survey sends out is the importance of deprivation in health inequalities and behavioural risks. Deprivation is a complex interaction of factors, which include environment, income, education, housing, employment and social capacity. Therefore to improve health and reduce inequalities, the NHS cannot act in isolation. Without co-ordinated action at all levels and across all agencies, no improvement will be seen in this unacceptable variation.
