To feed into the rich policy context of self care support in the DH and NHS, the Department of Health commissioned MORI to conduct a survey of the English public to establish a baseline of public attitudes towards self care and their self care behaviours. The baseline data would help assess the impact of recent initiatives on the public a few years down the line - and to inform care policy in the short and medium term future. The survey was conducted in two stages between August 2004 and January 2005. The 'Public Attitudes to Self Care - Baseline Survey' sets out the findings of this survey.
