Abstract

In order to meet the requests from Government policy bureaux and departments for statistical data on various social issues, the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) started a series of Thematic Household Survey (THS) in 1999 such that certain enquiries for statistical information on social topics proposed by individual bureaux / departments are packaged together to form different rounds of THS and contracted-out to private research firms. A round of THS, comprising a household survey and an institutions survey conducted separately, was carried out during May to July 2002. The surveys collected information on the health status of the Hong Kong residents (including residents in domestic households and residents in institutions with residential services), and their patterns with respect to doctor consultation, hospitalization, dental consultation, the provision of medical benefits by employers / companies and the coverage of medical insurance purchased by individuals.
