2010 Report on Adult Health in New South Wales

The 2010 Report on Adult Health from the New South Wales Population Health Survey provides information on health behaviours, health status and access to health services for people aged 16 years and over. Data for the report were collected from February to December 2010.

Note:

In this report, estimates for local health districts (LHDs) should be used with caution. In 2010 the survey was stratified by the 8 area health services that existed at that time (approx 1,000 adults in each area), but was analysed and reported for the 15 LHDs that came into effect in January 2011. Because of this, the samples vary considerably (from 100 persons  in Far West to 1200 persons in Hunter New England).

In 2011 the survey was stratified by the LHDs (approx 800 adults in each district) and so the samples are more representative of the LHDs and will provide better estimates. The 2011 estimates will be released  soon.
