The effect of non-participation on the estimation of smoking trends

2015

Background Smoking trends in Finland have been declining among men and increasing among women. These trends are based on data collected through population surveys. At the same time, survey participation rates have declined. It has also been shown that survey non-participation is not random, i.e. survey participants and non-participants differ from each other in their socio-economic status, health behaviours and health …

Adjusting for selective non-participation with re-contact data in the FINRISK 2012 survey

2018

Aims: A common objective of epidemiological surveys is to provide population-level estimates of health indicators. Survey results tend to be biased under selective non-participation. One approach to bias reduction is to collect information about non-participants by contacting them again and asking them to fill in a questionnaire. This information is called re-contact data, and it allows to adjust the estimates for non-participation. Methods: We analyse data from the FINRISK 2012 survey, where re-contact data were collected. We assume that the respondents of the re-contact survey are similar to the remaining non-participants with respect to the health given their available background informa…

Non-participation modestly increased with distance to the examination clinic among adults in Finnish health examination surveys

2018

Aims: Health examination surveys (HES) provide important information about population health and health-related factors, but declining participation rates threaten the representativeness of collected data. It is hard to conduct national HESs at examination clinics near to every sampled individual. Thus, it is interesting to look into the possible association between the distance from home to the examination clinic and non-participation, and whether there is a certain distance after which the participation activity decreases considerably. Methods: Data from two national HESs conducted in Finland in 2011 and 2012 were used and a logistic regression model was fitted to investigate how distanc…
