Health interview surveys are important source of health information. All previous adult population-based health interview surveys in Croatia until CroHort, were one-off projects with very limited possibility of data comparison. CroHort enabled repeated survey of CAHS 2003 respondents with almost identical questionnaire, thus providing comparable data on trends of different risk factors as well as their relation to the specific outcomes. Next follow-up survey of the CroHort cohort is foreseen for 2013. Health interview survey according to Eurostat methodology (EHIS) on the new representative sample of adult Croatian population is planned for 2014. As the data from health interview surveys are valuable in health policy, efforts should be made to increase their use by policymakers in Croatia.
健康访谈调查是健康信息的重要来源。在克罗地亚健康访谈队列研究(CroHort)之前,该国以往所有基于成年人口的健康访谈调查都是一次性项目,数据比较的可能性非常有限。CroHort能够使用几乎相同的问卷对2003年克罗地亚成人健康调查(CAHS)的受访者进行重复调查,从而提供不同风险因素趋势及其与特定结果关系的可比数据。预计CroHort队列的下一次随访调查将于2013年进行。计划于2014年根据欧盟统计局方法(EHIS)对克罗地亚成年人口的新代表性样本进行健康访谈调查。由于健康访谈调查的数据在健康政策方面很有价值,因此应努力增加克罗地亚政策制定者对这些数据的使用。
