Abstract
Background: The EUroLight project is the first at European Union level to assess the impact of headache disorders, and also the first project of its scale performed by a collaboration between professional and lay organizations and individuals. The project took the form of surveys by structured questionnaire, conducted from November 2008 to August 2009, of population samples from ten countries of Europe representing 60% of the adult population of the European Union. Methods: Population-based were the surveys performed in Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain. In Austria, France and UK, samples were taken from health-care settings. Additionally in the Netherlands, Spain and in Ireland, samples were drawn from members of national headache patient organizations and their relatives. Independent double data-entry was performed in all cases. Results: 9,269 correctly completed returned questionnaires were analysed. The questionnaires received had a moderate female bias (58%); of the respondents from the three patients' organizations (n=992), 61% were female. The mean age of all respondents was 44 years; samples from patients' organizations were slightly older (mean 47 years). The different sampling methods adopted in these ten countries worked with differing degrees of effectiveness, as evidenced by the responder-rates, which varied from 10,8% to 90.7%. In the population-based surveys, responder-rates varied from 11,3% to 58.8%. Conclusion: The methodology, although with differences born of necessity in the various surveys in the ten countries, was sound overall, providing robust data revealing the amount of public ill-health that results from headache in Europe.
