Description

Good afternoon,

As part of a longitudinal study using the BHPS cohort I am looking for health variables that are compatible across the BHPS and Understanding Society. I have so far found only the GHQ-12 measure of psychological morbidity, but I also need a measure of physical health/health conditions. I have searched through the questionnaires and found that the self-rated health measure and health conditions measures are incompatible. I have also looked for publications that have attempted to look at health outcomes using data from both the BHPS and USoc but I am unable to find any. Are you aware of either any measure of health that is comparable across surveys, or any papers that have manipulated the available variables to achieve better comparability?

Best wishes,
David Bayliss
