Anemia is the most prevalent deficiency disease and one among the major nutrition related goals globally. Children and women of reproductive age are the most vulnerable groups for anemia everywhere. While there are various nutritional and non-nutritional factors causing anemia, Iron deficiency is the most prominent of them. In India, more than half population of preschool age children and reproductive age women is suffering from anemia. Indian government had started anemia prophylaxis efforts a half century ago and still continuing to battle with this ever prevalent disease to bring down its occurrence. National Family Health Survey is the large-scale survey conducted in India to provide high-quality data on health and family welfare and related emerging issues. The data provided not only helps in formulation, revision and monitoring of the policies and programs but in situating the development of India globally. Studying the time trend for anemia prevalence and other related parameters reported in NFHS surveys helps how well India has performed until now and how far is from its goal to become Anemia free country. Keywords: Anemia, iron deficiency, health survey, child health, maternal health.

Oral health is an imperative part of general health. Moreover, dental diseases are easily preventable to a huge extent. In India, dental diseases, particularly caries and periodontal disease as well as oral cancer, still continues to be widespread in the population. Only two large scale Oral Health Surveys were conducted in the country till now: (i) National Oral Health Survey & Fluoride Mapping by Dental Council of India in 2003 and (ii) Oral Health in India: Report of multi-centric oral health survey by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in collaboration with Dental Department AIIMS in 2005. This article highlights the desperate necessity of a nationwide oral health survey for proper identification and correction of real barriers in achieving good oral health for the population.

Zusammenfassung. Der Short-Form Health Survey SF-8 ist ein Instrument zur Messung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität, einem wichtigen Outcomekriterium klinischer Studien und in den Gesundheitswissenschaften. Das Instrument ist eine Kurzform des häufig verwendeten SF-36, mit dem acht Dimensionen der subjektiven Gesundheit gemessen sowie zwei Summenskalen Körperlicher und Psychischer Gesundheit berechnet werden können. Der SF-8 wurde im Jahr 2004 im Rahmen einer bundesweit durchgeführten Mehrthemenbefragung eingesetzt. Basierend auf diesen Daten können erstmalig repräsentative Normdaten zum SF-8 (N = 2552) aus einer schriftlichen Befragung für die deutsche Bevölkerung vorgelegt werden. Die Referenzdaten werden alters- sowie geschlechtsdifferenziert berichtet und auf Zusammenhänge mit soziodemografischen Merkmalen analysiert. Seltene fehlende Werte in den Antworten weisen auf eine gute Akzeptanz des Instruments hin. Auch wenn der SF-8 in verschiedenen Subskalen mit Deckeneffekten behaftet ist, kann sein Einsatz aufgrund seiner Ökonomie empfohlen werden.

We used the Cognitive Interviewing Reporting Framework (CIRF) to restructure the report of a pretest on a European health survey questionnaire. This pretest was conducted by the Questionnaire Laboratory of Statistics Netherlands, and the original report was written according to a standard Statistics Netherlands format for pretesting reports. This article contains the rewritten report with highlights from the case study. The authors reflect on the process of rewriting and the usefulness of the CIRF. We conclude that expanded use of the CIRF as a reporting format for articles on cognitive pretests would enhance international comparability, completeness, and uniformity of research designs, terminology, and reporting. A limitation of the CIRF is that it does not provide an exhaustive list of items that could be included in a report, but it is more a “minimal standard”: that is a report on how a cognitive pretest was conducted should at least contain a description of the CIRF items.
