| Description | Papers regarding the planning and administration of the 1999 data collection, or ‘sweep’, of the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD). During the 1999 data collection, study members were visited at home by nurses who used an electronic questionnaire to ask about home and family circumstances, health, disability, employment, earnings, social participation, smoking and exercise habits, and experience of disturbing life events. DNA was taken from study members for the first time, along with blood samples to measure indicators of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (such as cholesterol) and nutritional markers (such as vitamin B12 and iron). |
