Leicester health and wellbeing surveys

The Leicester health and wellbeing survey gives a snapshot of health and wellbeing issues in the city. Findings from the surveys help us and our partners to plan and develop services in Leicester.

Health and wellbeing survey 2024

We have commissioned DJS Research to conduct the 2024 adults Health and Wellbeing Survey. DJS Research fieldworkers will be conducting interviews between April and August 2024.

The survey has been designed to provide a high-quality cross-sectional snapshot of health and wellbeing behaviours and attitudes in Leicester’s adult population. The survey is important as it will give Leicester City Council the necessary information to help inform and improve services for local residents.

Further information is available on the DJS Research website and also on the letter attached below.

Dear Sir/Madam, 

Re: Health and Wellbeing Survey 2024

DJS Research Ltd has been commissioned by Leicester City Council to conduct the 2024 Health & Wellbeing Survey among a representative sample of adults. Fieldwork will be conducted between April and August 2024.

The survey has been designed to provide a high-quality cross-sectional snapshot of health and wellbeing behaviours and attitudes in Leicester’s adult population. The survey is important as it will give Leicester City Council the necessary information to help inform and improve services for local residents. The topics covered by the survey include: cost of living, wellbeing, community cohesion, community participation and local area satisfaction, use of local services, lifestyle behaviours, and health. It should take 15-20 minutes to complete.

You will be able to complete any sensitive questions yourself without the researcher seeing your answers. All answers will be kept completely confidential. DJS Research is a research company and is a full member of the Market Research Society (MRS) and bound by the MRS Code of Conduct.

Participation is voluntary. Trained researchers will treat you fairly and with respect.  However, if you have any concerns about the study, including the way you have been approached or treated, please contact [email protected].

For further information about the survey, please contact Gurjeet Rajania (Principal Public Health Intelligence Analyst, Leicester City Council) [email protected]. 

Thank you very much for your time.

 

Yours sincerely,

Gurjeet Rajania

Principal Public Health Intelligence Analyst,

Leicester City Council
