Abstract

The 1998 Health Education Monitoring Survey (HEMS) was the fourth survey in the series, and was carried out with two aims in mind: to continue to monitor the health promotion indicators relating to health-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour and to investigate the links between social inequality, social support, social capital, health and health behaviours.
