Table 1_General practitioners' perspectives on household energy insecurity across healthca

1,303 general practitioners in Henan Province, China, were surveyed in 2024 about their encounters with patients facing household energy insecurity. The dataset, authored by Xiaoyu Liu and shared on figshare, includes responses from providers across village clinics, township health centers, and county-, city-, and provincial-level hospitals. It captures reported prevalence of issues like difficulty paying utility bills, utility shut-offs, and use of polluting fuels.
