EMIS-2010 National reports

EMIS national reports are provided by Associated and Collaborating Partners of EMIS. They are available in the language(s) of the country of the repective partners and are based on the data provided by respondents who lived in that country at the time of the survey (irrespective of the language they used to fill in the questionnaire).

No national report will be published for eight countries because of small sample sizes: Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Cyprus, Croatia, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, and Moldova. No national reports were planned for: The Netherlands, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, and Ukraine. National Reports had been announced for Bulgaria, for Czechia and Slovakia, France, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Turkey, but were never published.

In the UK, local area data reports were made available March 2011, giving HIV prevention comissioners and planners access to detailed EMIS data about their local residents. EMIS summary reports for England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
