Overview
A Health Interview Survey (EHIS) provides an overall picture of the health status of the population and allows to identify the main health problems, as well as the social and behavioral factors that influence them. This information enables health authorities to pursue a proactive health policy aimed at improving public health and addressing the needs of groups at risk. Researchers, experts and the press use the results of the HIS. The first EHIS was carried out in 2007, and then in 2014 and 2019. The next EHIS will be conducted in 2025 (in line with EU Regulation). The EHIS collects information on a wide range of health topics: physical and mental health, lifestyle, use of health care and preventive services, perception of the physical and social environment, etc.
