A review of databases and other statistical sources reporting ethnic group and their potential to enhance the evidence base on health promotion
Get PDFThe Health ASERT Programme Wales is a research programme commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government to investigate health promotion issues among Minority Ethnic Groups, Refugees/Asylum seekers, and Gypsy Travellers. The acronym ASERT stands for Asylum Seekers, Ethnic minorities, Refugees and Travellers. Research was undertaken by the Research Centre for Transcultural Studies in Health, Middlesex University and the Centre for Health Services Studies, University of Kent at Canterbury between February 2003 and March 2004.

order to inform policy and programme development in the Welsh Assembly Government’s Health Promotion Division (now known as Health Improvement Division) and elsewhere in the Public Health and Health Professions Department. The study objectives were to: identify
gaps in the existing evidence base of health needs and health promotion issues for the study groups; identify existing good practice of health services and promotion for the study groups; explore ways of delivering health promotion policy/programmes targeting these groups in a
culturally and socially sensitive manner; identify issues for further research
Welsh Housing Conditions Survey, 2017-2018
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The purpose of the Welsh Housing Conditions Survey, 2017-2018 (WHCS) was to provide an estimate of the condition and energy efficiency/performance of the housing stock in Wales. The survey covered all types of housing and all tenures but not vacant properties.The 2017-18 survey was very much a standard in terms of housing conditions surveys and is very similar to those carried out in other nations. As well as the usual topics the survey explored elements that may become an issue in the future, for example climate change (hotter summers, wetter winters etc.) and the housing stock's ability to cope.Fieldwork for the WHCS 2017-18 ran from August 2017 until the end of April 2018. A sample of addresses was drawn from eligible households taking part in the National Survey for Wales 2017-18 (see SN 8390). This resulted in physical inspections of 2,549 properties across Wales, which enables national level estimates.The property inspections were carried out by qualified surveyors, employed by the Building Research Establishment. They performed a visual assessment of the interior and exterior of the property. The surveyor also inspected the plot of the property and made an assessment of the local neighbourhood.Key information gathered in the WHCS allows measurement of:
energy efficiency
repair costs
the Welsh Housing Quality Standard (WHQS)
fuel poverty
the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS).Further information, background and publications can be found on the WHCS 2017-2018 webpages.Main Topics:Housing conditions, energy efficiency, accessibility and fuel poverty.

EU transition trade prospects for key Welsh sectors
Get PDFThis report was produced for Welsh Government as part of a project “Understanding the implications of Global Trade and Decarbonisation post Brexit.” Understanding the risks and opportunities for Welsh trade during the EU transition implementation period and in the period that follows is vital to inform Welsh Government’s discussions with the UK Government. Changes to Welsh trade patterns could also impact on greenhouse gas emissions, and consequently on Welsh Government’s duty towards sustainable development
Validation of Welsh language cognitive assessment tools (CATs): stage one
No full textThe primary aim of this research (stage one) is to identify the most frequently used Welsh language CAT in Wales. This information will be used to establish the requirements and set the foundation for subsequent stages of validation.
The primary objective of this research is to perform a desk-based review and engage with stakeholders to:
• determine the most frequently used CAT(s) in Wales during the study period (2021 to 2023)
• evaluate the psychometric properties of the CATs that have been translated into Welsh
• identify strategies for gathering high-quality normative data on the most frequently used, robust Welsh-language version(s) of CATs to ensure psychometric validation and facilitate reliable interpretation of assessments in clinical settings
The report is structured as follows:
• Section 2: methodology used for the desk-based review and consultation with
stakeholders
• Section 3: main findings
• Section 4: conclusions
• Section 5: recommendations for further validation work
Living in Wales: Household Survey, 2004
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Living in Wales (LIW) survey series, which ran from 2004-2008, was the main general source of statistical information about households and the condition of homes in Wales. The LIW survey was also referred to as the Welsh Household and Dwelling Survey and replaced the former Welsh House Condition Survey (WHCS), which was last conducted in 1997 and 1998, when a Household Survey was completed in 1997 and a Property Survey in 1998.
The LIW survey had two separate but linked components: the Household Survey and the Property Survey. The Household Survey was completed annually from 2004 and was conducted as a face-to-face interview with the household reference person (HRP) or another appropriate adult. It aimed to provide additional information to complement the Property Survey, but also to provide information about the community, the use of the Welsh language, the health of the members of the household, the values and opinions of the respondent as well as demographic characteristics. The Property Survey was conducted in 2004 and 2008 (held under SNs 7201 and 7202 respectively) and comprised an internal and external assessment of the property which was completed by a qualified surveyor.
The Living in Wales survey closed in 2008. From 2009/2010 onwards, it has been replaced by the National Survey for Wales (held at the Archive under GN 33435). Further information can be found on the Welsh Assembly Government Living in Wales web page.For the second edition (December 2009), a Welsh language version of the main questionnaire has been added to the documentation.Main Topics:The Household Survey 2004 includes the following topics:tenure/area featuresprovision of services/amenitiesHMO informationhousehold compositionincome/wealthdisability of occupantsviews on need for renovation/adaptationsoccupant views on home and neighborhoodhousehold history (migration/formation) experience of homelessnessnationality/ethnic origintenant participation</ul
