Invitation to Quote for a Health and Wellbeing Survey

Warrington has an adult (18+) population of 165,063. The population of Warrington is quite diverse in terms of socio-economic status, and this impacts on many health and wellbeing outcomes. Warrington currently has a similar proportion of residents aged over 65 years as the average for England, but in-keeping with national trends the population is ageing.A comprehensive Health and Wellbeing (HWB) Survey has been undertaken in Warrington in 2001, 2006 and 2013. This information has proved extremely valuable in understanding and describing health-related behaviour, identifying health inequalities (for example in relation to deprivation, age, disability) and assessing change in trends over time. A comprehensive, large scale survey of adult residents in Warrington is needed to update the information currently held from previous local lifestyle surveys. The survey needs to collect information on a wide range of topics including; perceptions of health status, emotional wellbeing, social connectedness and resilience, long-term and recent morbidity, disability, health risk behaviour, use of services, social circumstances, and neighbourhood issues.
