Findings from the Compatibility and Comparability of Mental Health and Related Health Data Sources Socio-demographics In almost all surveys, the only common socio-demographic indicators were age and gender. In the adult national surveys, North and South, detailed information was recorded on education. Given the strong predictive power of education as an indicator for inequalities in health, the ability to classify data into primary, secondary and third level education as a single measure of inequalities is an invaluable measure in any population health monitoring system. The more complex measure of social class was also recorded in the national surveys. Each survey recorded the occupation of the respondent, which was then classified into one of six social classes based on job title and employment status. Other indicators of social inequality such as home tenure and marital status were recorded in the national and some regional surveys. Lifestyle Behaviours Lifestyle factors were recorded in six surveys in the Republic and all three Northern surveys. Most commonly recorded were prevalence, frequency and quantity of consumption of both tobacco and alcohol - however, the measures used for each of these were not directly comparable. Dietary habits were also measured but in a non-standard way. Three questions relating to frequency of consumption of foods high in fat, sugar and fruit and vegetables were asked in the Northern Ireland Survey of Health and Social Wellbeing, whereas a 148 item semi-quantitative food frequency was used in the National Health and Lifestyle Survey in the Republic. Participation in physical activity was only recorded at a national level in the Southern survey. Many of the other smaller regional and local surveys measured this parameter but employing different measures. Young People The socio-demographic, economic and lifestyle variables recorded in the children’s survey, HBSC, were the same due to observation of an internationally devised protocol. There were three mental health and well-being measures common in both the Northern and Southern arms of the HBSC survey. General health and satisfaction with health were measured using a 3 and 5 point Likert scale respectively. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to measure self-esteem among the young people. 99
