Health surveys are essential components of a comprehensive health surveillance system. Furthermore, in many countries, the only way to gain information about the health of the population is through surveys because adequate registers are not available. In Denmark, there is a long tradition of monitoring the health of the population through surveys. Our work is promoting the biggest health survey conducted every four years. A large number of responses will have a direct impact on health services offered in the local authorities.
This work was supported by the Ministry of the Interior and Health, the National Board of Health, the five Danish Regions and the National Institute of Public Health.
