The EC Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) design is presented: the survey aim is to estimate asthma prevalence and risk factors distribution in the various European countries population. In Italy three centres are involved: Pavia, Turin and Verona. EC Health Respiratory Survey is an international two stages cross-sectional survey on probability samples of general population aimed to asses asthma prevalence in different countries. In the first stage a random sample was sent a Screening Questionnaire by post; in the second stage a subsample was invited to clinical centres in order to undergo lung function tests, allergy tests and a standardised clinical interview. The analysis of the response pattern in Italy shows that both in stage 1 and in stage 2 a selection bias overestimating real prevalence is present. Some methodological issues concerning the design of cross sectional surveys are addressed.
