The strengths, weaknesses and key methodologic issues to consider in using currently available patient surveys and population-based survey datasets will be reviewed. Research, policy and health practice applications of survey-based data will be highlighted using illustrations from currently available population-based children's health datasets and by system performance measurement and improvement initiatives.
