## Implementation of MEHM-items in HIS in Denmark(MEHM=Minimum European Health Module)

- Aim
- To analyse concurrent validity of MEHM-questions
- Data
- Danish National Health Interview Surveys
- 1987: sample size 5000
- 1994: sample size 5000
- 2000: sample size 17000
- Linkage with registries (inpatient and cause of death registry)
