The childrens environment survey 2003
The Children's Environmental Health Survey is carried out in collaboration between the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institutet and the Statistics Sweden, on behalf of the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
The questionnaire concerned the health and environments of children in three age groups: 8 months, 4 years, and the 12 years. The questionnaire in the Children's environmental health survey 2003 was sent to 40,000 children's parents. The response rate was about 70%.
The questions were in most cases answered by the children’s parents, but some of the questions were directly asked of children in 12-year-old group.
In addition to the study in 2003, a second study was carried out in 2011, where some of the children from 2003 were invited to participate.
Purpose:
The aim was to chart how environmental factors like air pollution, noise and indoor environment effects the health of children and adolescents.

Sampling procedure:
Description of sampling:
I grundurvalet ingick lika många barn i varje län, 240 i varje åldersgrupp. För 8-månadersbarnen utökades urvalet till ca 310 för att korrigera smärre felaktigheter i urvalsdragningen. I tio län gjordes även ett tilläggsurval på ungefär 100–2 500 barn
per åldersgrupp. Det totala urvalet utgjorde i genomsnitt ca 13 procent av målbefolkningen. Störst andel utgjorde det i Hallands län (42 procent) och lägst i Skånes län (5 procent). Barnen valdes slumpvis från registret över totalbefolkningen hos Statistiska centralbyrån (SCB).
