CONTINUOUS HOUSEHOLD SURVEY: SERIES OF MONITORS
These Monitors present a selection of preliminary tables
relating to the Continuous Household Survey (CHS). The CHS is a
continuous survey based on a sample of the general population
resident in private households in Northern Ireland. The survey
has been running since 1983 and is carried out to service the
information needs of Government Departments and to provide
accurate information on an ongoing basis about the social and
economic conditions of the population of Northern Ireland. The
nature and aims of the CHS are similar to those of the General
Household Survey (GHS) carried out by the Office of Population
Censuses and Surveys (OPCS) in Great Britain. The information
covered by the survey is collected throughout the year by face
to face interviews, with interviews being sought of all the
adult members of approximately 4,500 addresses. The main areas
covered by the monitor include household composition and
characteristics, tenure, provision of amenities, availability of
consumer durables, health measures, opinions on the most
important problems facing Northern Ireland, income,
contraception, sports and leisure, patterns of alcohol
consumption and smoking prevalence.
