ELSA - wave 2
Face-to-face interview, self-completion questionnaire and nurse home visit.
The administered questionnaire was similar to that used in previous waves. Some measures were repeated exactly like before, participant's were asked directly to provide change for some variable and questions were adapted to allow people to update or amend past responses. The new items included quality of healthcare received, household spending on leisure, clothing and transfers, perception of deprivation relative to others, perceptions of ageing, levels of literacy, perceived effort and reward for care-giving and voluntary activities. Respondent's expectations, cognitive functions, psychosocial health and walking speed were measured. Participants were also asked to fill a consent to obtain health and economic data from administrative sources.
Also, blood pressure, lung function, blood tests, anthropometric measures and physical performance measures were done during a nurse visit at the participant’s home.
The data collection was carried out on the original sample interviewed in Health Survey for England (HSE) 1998/1999/2001 aged 50 and older on March 1, 2002.
