欧洲社会调查（ESS）是一项两年一次的、学术驱动的、跨部门的泛欧社会调查，它描绘并解释了欧洲不断变化的机构与其不同人群的态度、信仰和行为模式之间的相互作用。作为第七轮欧洲卫生服务系统的一部分，我们成功地开发了一个轮换模块，提供了关于健康和健康不平等的社会决定因素的全面和可比较的泛欧数据集。在这篇文章中，我们提出了该模块的基本原理，健康的结果，并包括社会决定因素，以及一些机会，该模块提供了推进研究，以解释在欧洲健康的社会不平等的分布和病因。迄今为止，没有一项健康调查有关于社会分层制度的充分数据，包括关于生活条件的丰富数据，也没有一项社会学调查有关于生活方式因素和健康结果的充分多样性。通过包括不健康的生活方式行为，儿童状况，住房条件，工作条件和描述获得医疗保健的变量，以及一系列广泛的心理和身体健康结果，ESS大大加强了其作为社会学家的数据来源的地位，希望对欧洲的健康不平等进行跨国分析。
The European Social Survey (ESS) is a biennial, academically driven, cross-sectional, pan-European social survey that charts and explains the interactions between Europe's changing institutions and the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviour patterns of its diverse populations. As part of the seventh round of the ESS, we successfully developed a rotating module that provides a comprehensive and comparative pan-European data set on the social determinants of health and health inequalities. In this article, we present the rationale for the module, the health outcomes, and social determinants that were included, and some of the opportunities that the module provide for advancing research into explaining the distribution and aetiology of social inequalities in health in Europe. Thus far, no health survey has had sufficient data on the stratification system of societies, including rich data on living conditions, and there is no sociological survey with sufficient variety of lifestyle factors and health outcomes. By including unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, childhood conditions, housing conditions, working conditions, and variables describing access to healthcare, together with an extensive set of mental and physical health outcomes, the ESS has strengthened its position tremendously as a data source for sociologists wanting to perform European cross-national analyses of health inequalities.
