In early October 2025, the National Statistical Institute is about to launch the fieldwork on the ‘European Health Interview Survey, 2025’. The survey is carried out according to Grant Agreement No. 101191410 - 2024-BG-EHIS with the European Commission.
The European Health Interview Survey is part of the European Health Survey System, which aims to collect information on the health status, the life style (health determinants) and the health care services used by the EU citizens. The main objective of the implemented project is to collect data for the Republic of Bulgaria in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 and the relevant implementing and delegated acts, thus ensuring reliable and comparable data at European Union level.
Around 11 200 persons in 5 600 households in the whole territory of the country will participate in the survey. They are selected randomly, which is a prerequisite for the survey’s representativeness of the results. During the period October 2025 - January 2026 the households will be visited by specially trained interviewers to conduct personal interviews and to complete questionnaires. The interviewers will identify themselves with an official card and will present a letter from the President of NSI. In each selected household, all persons aged 15 years and older will be interviewed. There is an opportunity for the sampled persons to self-interview by filling in the questionnaire in a web-based application.
The personal data provided by the respondents will be collected, processed and stored solely for the production of national, European and international statistical information.
More information about the methodology and questionnaire of the ‘European Health Interview Survey, 2025’, as well as data from previous waves, can be found on the website of NSI in the sections ‘Statistical Data’, ‘Demographic and Social Statistics’, ‘Health’.
We would like to thank in advance to the households for their cooperation!
