The Mexico National Health Survey (ENSA) 2000 aimed to provide information on the prevalence and frequency of chronic health conditions and to collect information to aid in the evaluation of health services. In-person interviews were conducted with children, adolescents, and adults within the home. Physical measurements of blood pressure, height, and weight were taken; blood samples and urine samples were also collected; and a sample of the household water was analyzed for chlorine content. The survey covered a range of topics, including demographic characteristics, health status, injuries, disability, maternal health, and the use of health services.
