The Public Health Agency of Sweden is sending out the national public health survey 'Health on Equal Terms' to half a million Swedes aged 16 and older. Conducted every two years in collaboration with the country's regions, the survey aims to provide knowledge on health and well-being in the population. The questions cover lifestyle aspects such as safety, physical and mental ailments, stress, diet, alcohol, and more. This is reported by Nerikes Allehanda and Aftonbladet on January 29, 2026. Project leader Pi Zetterquist explains in a press release: 'With the help of the survey, we can detect differences between different groups. The more responses in each group, the better the opportunities to identify what needs to change for good health in the entire population.' The survey assists authorities in identifying needs for changes to promote public health on equal terms.
