Other periodic surveys
The 2013 children’s dental health survey is the fifth in a series of national children’s dental health surveys that have been carried out every ten years since 1973.
Children’s dental health survey
The 2013 survey provides statistical estimates on the dental health of 5, 8, 12 and 15 year old children in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, using data collected during dental examinations conducted in schools on a random sample of children by national health service (NHS) dentists and nurses. The survey measures changes in oral health since the last survey in 2003, and provides information on the distribution and severity of oral diseases and conditions in 2013.
Findings from the survey can be accessed on the health and social care information centre (HSCIC) website.
Adult dental health survey
The 2009 adult dental health survey (ADHS) is the fifth in a series of national dental surveys that have been carried out every decade since 1968. The main purpose of these surveys has been to get a picture of the dental health of the adult population and how this has changed over time.
Findings from the survey can be accessed on the HSCIC website.
Infant feeding survey
The department of health in Northern Ireland has participated in 5 rounds of the UK Infant Feeding Survey (1990, 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010).
Findings from the survey can be accessed on the HSCIC website.
Health interview survey
The health interview survey (HIS) is carried out under a legislated European Union (EU) directive for EU Statistics on public health and health and safety at work. All EU member states are required to produce HIS data. The purpose of the survey is to provide statistics on health status, health determinants and health services and the data will be used to monitor and inform health policies.
