The Health and Lifestyles Survey (HLS) collects data on the health behaviours and attitudes of New Zealand residents aged 15 years and over. The objectives of the survey include measuring progress against the Health Promotion Agency’s (HPA) existing programme plans, and tracking any changing perspectives relating to the social desirability and acceptability of various measures of tobacco control. The gambling section of the questionnaire was designed to compare with the 2006/07 Gaming and Betting Activities Survey, carried out prior to the HPA’s development of a national health promotion programme specifically designed to help reduce gambling harm.
