The Health Index is an Experimental Statistic to measure a broad definition of health, in a way that can be tracked over time and compared between different areas. These data are the provisional results of the Health Index for upper-tier local authorities in England, 2015 to 2018, to illustrate the type of analysis the Health Index can enable.

The Health Survey for England (HSE) is part of a programme of surveys commissioned by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. It has been carried out since 1994 by the Joint Health Surveys Unit of NatCen Social Research and the Research Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at UCL (University College London). The study provides regular information that cannot be obtained from other sources on a range of aspects concerning the public's health and many of the factors that affect health. The series of Health Surveys for England was designed to monitor trends in the nation's health, to estimate the proportion of people in England who have specified health conditions, and to estimate the prevalence of certain risk factors and combinations of risk factors associated with these conditions. The survey is also used to monitor progress towards selected health targets. Each survey in the series includes core questions and measurements (such as blood pressure, anthropometric measurements and analysis of blood and saliva samples), as well as modules of questions on specific issues that vary from year to year. In some years, the core sample has also been augmented by an additional boosted sample from a specific population subgroup, such as minority ethnic groups, older people or children; there was no boost in 2011. This is the twenty first annual Health Survey for England. All surveys have covered the adult population aged 16 and over living in private households in England. Since 1995, the surveys have included children who live in households selected for the survey; children aged 2-15 were included from 1995, and infants under two years old were added in 2001. Those living in institutions were outside the scope of the survey. This should be borne in mind when considering survey findings, since the institutional population is likely to be older and less healthy than those living in private households. The HSE in 2011 provided a representative sample of the population at both national and regional level. For the general population sample, 8,992 addresses were randomly selected in 562 postcode sectors, issued over twelve months from January to December 2011. Where an address was found to have multiple dwelling units, a random selection was made and a single dwelling unit was included. Where there were multiple households at a dwelling unit, again one was selected at random. All adults and children in selected households were eligible for inclusion in the survey. Where there were three or more children aged 0-15 in a household, two of the children were selected at random to limit the respondent burden for parents. A nurse visit was arranged for all participants who consented. A total of 8,610 adults and 2,007 children were interviewed. A household response rate of 66per cent was achieved. 5,715 adults and 1,257 children had a nurse visit. It should be noted that, for the first time for several years, there was no child boost sample in 2011. Thus the scope for analyses of some data for children may be limited by relatively small sample sizes. The report authors would like to acknowledge with thanks the contribution of the National Obesity Observatory to Chapter 10 on adult obesity.

About this dataset

This dataset provides insight into the mental health services available to children and young people in England. The data includes all primary and secondary levels of care, as well as breakdowns by age group. Information is provided on the number of people in contact with mental health services; open ward stays; open referrals; referrals starting in reporting period; attended contacts; indirect activity; discharged from referral; missed care contacts by DNA reasons and more. With these statistics, analysts may be able to better understand the scope of mental health service usage across different age groups in England and make valuable conclusions about best practices for helping children & young people receive proper care

How to use the dataset

This guide provides information on how to use this dataset effectively.

Understanding the Columns:

Each row represents data from a specific month within a reporting period. The first thing to do is to find out what each column represents - this is explained by their titles and descriptions included at the beginning of this dataset. Note that there are primary level columns (e.g., Reporting Period, Breakdown) which provide overall context while secondary level columns (e.g., CYP01 People in contact with children and young peoples' mentally health service…) provide more detail on specific indicators of interest related to that primary level column value pair (i.e., Reporting Period X).

Exploring Data Variables:

The next step is exploring which data variables could potentially be helpful when analyzing initiatives/programs related to mental health care for children & youth in England or developing policies related to them – look through all columns included here for ones you think would be most helpful such as ‘CYP21 – Open ward stays...’ or ‘MHS07a - People with an open hospital spell…’ and note down those that have been considered necessary/relevant based on your particular situation/needs before further analyzing using software packages like Excel or SPSS etc..

Analyzing Data Values:

Now comes the time for analyzing individual values provided under each respective column – take one single numerical data element such as ‘CYP02 – People… CPA end RP’ & run through it all looking at trends over time, averages across different sections by performing calculations via software packages available like tables provided above based upon sorted hierarchies needed.. Then you can then start looking into making meaningful correlations between different pieces of information given herein by cross-referencing contexts against each other resulting if any noticeable patterns found significant enough will make informative decisions towards policy implementations & program improvement opportunities both directly concerned

Research Ideas

• Using this dataset to identify key trends in mental health services usage among children and young people in England, such as the number of open ward stays and referrals received.
• Using the information to develop targeted solutions on areas of need identified from the data by geographical area or age group, i.e creating campaigns or programs specifically targeting specific groups at a higher risk of experiencing mental health difficulties or engaging with specialist services.
• Tracking how well these initiatives are working over time by monitoring relevant metrics such as attendance at appointments, open referrals etc to evaluate their effectiveness in improving access and engagement with mental health services for those most in need

General health

General health is a self-assessment of a person's general state of health. People were asked to assess whether their health was very good, good, fair, bad or very bad.

For England and Wales, this assessment is not based on a person's health over any specified period of time.

For Northern Ireland, 'General health' refers to a person's health over the 12 months prior to Census day (27 March 2011).
