Description topics
- Medical contacts
- Persons are asked if they had contact with their GP, specialist, dentist, dental hygienist, orthodontist, physiotherapist, exercise therapist, psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist, and if he or she is treated by alternative healer. Also, if there were hospital admissions or day care admissions, if people have home care and if they had care abroad. Most questions after medical contacts are asked to persons of all ages. Contacts that do not often occur in the case of children are posed from an older age.
- Persons receiving home care
- Percentage of persons who receive paid help or care at home because of health problems. E.g. help in housekeeping, personal care, nursing, maternity care, or meal service (such as meals-on-wheels). By paid help is meant help paid by someone him/herself or an authority.
- Persons with care abroad
- Percentage of persons who in the 12 months preceding the interview used health care in a foreign country (i.e., not in the Netherlands). Examples are use of a GP, medical specialist, hospital or dentist.

- SF-12 health measure, age 12 or older
- The 'Short Format 12' or SF-12 questionnaire is a selection of 12 questions from the SF-36 (Ware et al., 1995 *). The SF-12 is a widely used international standard of a generic health measure. The SF-12 measures eight health aspects, namely physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health problems, physical pain, general health, vitality (energy / fatigue), social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems and mental health. Based on the 12 questions, two partial scales can be calculated; a summary measure for physical health (norm score physical) and a summary measure for psychological health (norm score psychological).
These norm scores are calculated for people aged 12 or older.
