Ohio Family Health Survey

The 1998 Ohio Family Health Survey was developed to obtain baseline statewide data on health insurance coverage, health status, health risk behaviors, access to care, health care utilization, health care costs, satisfaction with care and unmet health needs. The Gallup Organization conducted telephone polls of approximately 16,000 Ohio households between January and August 1998. Interviews were conducted with one adult in each polled household. Information was also gathered on nearly 6,000 children from interviews with adult family members.

The 2004 Ohio Family Health Survey was a substantial expansion of the original survey.  Conducted from October 2003 through August 2004, the latest survey obtained responses from nearly 40,000 adults and gathered information on more than 15,000 children.  For additional information about the 2004 Ohio Family Health Survey, see the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Web site at http://jfs.ohio.gov/releases/rl031005.stm.
