Summary 

The Belgium Health Interview Survey 2013 collected health information from about 10,000 individuals across Belgium. The survey was subnationally representative for all three regions and their provinces, with the sample split nearly equally between regions: Flemish region (3500 participants), Brussels region (3500 participants), and Walloon region (3500 participants). Two questionnaires were used: a face-to-face interview questionnaire, and a self-completed questionnaire; household information was also collected at the time of the face-to-face interview. The sample was drawn from the National Register; all households were eligible except for those living in institutions.

Results from the Intra-Family Violence Component of the survey can be found here.
