Geumcheon-gu, 2020 Community Health Survey

August 16 to October 31 Regional Sample Households Survey... Adults Aged 19 and Over Among Sample Household Members, Average 915 per Autonomous District

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) will conduct a "Community Health Survey" targeting adults aged 19 and over among household members of sample households from August 16 to October 31.

The "Community Health Survey" is an approved statistical survey conducted to promote essential public health projects based on regional health statistics. It is carried out under the supervision of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency of the Ministry of Health and Welfare in accordance with the Regional Health Act.

The survey is conducted by skilled investigators who have completed a series of training courses, visiting sample households directly and interviewing survey subjects one-on-one. Each survey takes about 30 to 40 minutes per participant. Participants will receive a small token of appreciation (gift certificate).

The survey items include health behaviors (smoking, drinking, etc.), chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, etc.), prevalence and management levels, quality of life, and this year’s survey will include COVID-19 related indicators. The previously conducted "physical measurements (height, weight)" and "blood pressure measurement" will not be conducted this year to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The statistical data produced through the survey will be used to understand the community’s health status, establish public health project plans, and implement community health-related policies.

Yuseonghun, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, "It is most important that all survey subjects participate for this statistical survey, which will serve as a health indicator of the community, to become more precise. Since this survey is for establishing health policies tailored to the characteristics of the region, we ask for the interest and cooperation of local residents."
