Community Health Survey Information.

The 'Community Health Survey' is a nationally approved statistical survey conducted simultaneously every year since 2008 at public health centers in cities, counties, and districts nationwide, in accordance with Article 4 of the 'Community Health Act,' to assess the health status of local residents.

The survey covers ▲ health behaviors such as smoking, drinking, physical activity, and dietary habits ▲ prevalence of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes ▲ vaccinations and screenings ▲ medical service utilization, totaling 17 areas and 182 questions to collect health statistics.

The survey targets approximately 900 people per district/county, totaling 14,500 people citywide, selected through sampling. The nationwide survey targets about 230,000 people.

The survey method involves sending a notification letter by mail to the target households, followed by face-to-face interviews conducted by surveyors who have completed prior training at two responsible universities (Kosin University and Dong-A University).

A small token of appreciation will be provided to those who complete the survey.

Lee Sora, Director of the Citizen Health Bureau of Busan City, stated, “Since the results of the Community Health Survey serve as valuable basic data for establishing local health policies and measuring the performance of customized health projects, we ask for the active participation of all citizens.”
