Description

These surveys aimed to provide information which would assist with the monitoring, evaluation and planning of health services. They were concerned with measuring actual morbidity, perceived health, access to health care and attitudes to existing health care, particularly emergency services, in the population. Information was collected on recent illness (complaints and conditions experienced in last two weeks), chronic illness and emotional health (as measured by the General Health Questionnaire). Utilisation questions included health care attitudes, social contact, support and participation, life events, child health, use of doctors, use of dentists, use of medicines, use of hospitals, use of emergency services and use of maternal and baby health services. Medications investigated included pain relievers, cough and cold remedies, allergy medication, skin ointments or salves (not cosmetics), laxatives, tranquillisers and other 'nerve' tablets, sleeping pills, vitamins or tonics, heart or blood pressure tablets, birth control pills and others as nominated by the respondent. Respondents were questioned concerning whether they had used any of these in the last two days, how many different types of each and whether they were prescribed. Background variables included age, sex, marital status, geographical area, country of birth, duration of residence in Australia, household and family composition, duration of residence in locality, major activity, occupational group, educational status, income (derived from Henderson poverty index), commuter status and health insurance. The data are held in eight files, four for adults and four for children, with separate files for each sex and region. File names refer to Illawarra women (iaf); Gosford-Wyong women (gaf); Illawarra men (iam); Gosford-Wyong men (gam); Illawarra girls (icf); Gosford-Wyong girls (gcf); Illawarra boys (icm); Gosford-Wyong boys (gcm).

Universe

residents of private households in the Gosford-Wyong and Illawarra regions of New South Wales

Time Method

One-time cross-sectional study

Sampling Procedure

multi-stage sample

The Gosford-Wyong region comprises Gosford and Wyong shires while the Illawarra region comprises the city of Wollongong and municipalities of Kiama and Shellharbour. These rapidly growing urban coastal areas were selected for study because both populations were considered to have a greater than average need for health services and a shortfall of health resources.

Each of the areas was divided into a number of strata such that geographic and socio-economic characteristics within strata were similar (13 strata in Gosford-Wyong, 11 in Illawarra). Each stratum was divided into Census Collectors Districts (CD's) of about 250 dwellings as used by the ABS for Population Census collection. Two, four or six CD's were selected from each stratum depending on its size.

Each CD was divided into blocks, usually street blocks. Two blocks were selected from each selected CD with probability proportional to size. Within each selected block, a list of all dwellings within the scope of the survey was drawn up and a systematic sample of approximately 15 dwellings per block was selected.

A special stratum was drawn up for Illawarra to represent its three migrant hostels. Two of these were selected with probability proportional to size (expected number of occupants during the survey). A list of occupants of the selected hostels was complied and a systematic sample of occupants was selected.

Persons living in hotels, hospitals, construction camps and reformatories etc. and non-Australian diplomatic staff and their households were excluded from the scope of this survey.

Collection Mode

Face-to-face interview (separate interview forms were used for persons over the age of 15 and persons under this age)

Actions to Minimize Losses

Foreign-language interviews were employed in the Illawarra area to interview persons not fluent in English.

Weighting

Each record contains a person weight and a household weight. Weighting details are not available at present.
