Description

The 2016 National Drug Strategy Household Survey was conducted between June and November 2016. The NDSHS examines current awareness of attitudes and behaviours toward drugs and drug problems within the Australian community, focusing on respondents' personal attitudes toward drugs, knowledge of drugs and drug histories. The survey included questions regarding respondents' personal drug and alcohol experience and behaviour, opinions on drug policy and legislation, availability of drugs and alcohol, injury and harm from drugs and alcohol, and attitudes towards the use of alcohol and other drugs. The drugs covered included: tobacco/cigarettes, alcohol, pain-killers/analgesics/opioids, tranquillisers, heroin, methadone, inhalants, ketamine, GHB, ecstasy, hallucinogens, cocaine, meth/amphetamines, cannabis/marijuana, synthetic cannabis, other psychoactive substances and steroids. Demographic and background variables included: state of residence, age, sex, marital status, self-assessed health status, sexuality, lndigenous status, country of birth, language spoken at home, employment status, occupation, level of education, income, index of socioeconomic advantaged and disadvantage, remoteness area and household composition.

Series

National Drug Strategy Household Survey: The National Drug Strategy Household Survey is a series of national household surveys, conducted by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) on behalf of the Australian Goverment Department of Health. The series also includes the National Campaign Against Drug Abuse: Social Issues in Australia Surveys of 1985, 1988 and 1991. These studies were followed by the National Drug Strategy Household Surveys in 1994, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016.

Residential households, from people aged 12 years and older from all states and tenitories. The scope excluded non-private dwellings (hotels, motels, boarding houses, etc.) and institutional settings (hospitals, nursing homes, other clinical settings such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres, prisons, military establishments and university halls or residence). Homeless persons were also excluded as well as the territories of Jervis Bay, Christmas lsland and Cocos lsland

Sampling Procedure

The sample was selected by way of stratified, multistage random sampling. Locations within Australia were stratified by state and territory and part of state. There were 15 strata in total—capital city and rest of state for each state and territory, except for the Australian Capital Territory, which operated as 1 stratum. To produce reliable estimates for the smaller states and territories, sample sizes were boosted in Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. South Australia and Victoria also boosted their sample and purchased an additional 500 completed responses. For capital cities within each stratum, statistical areas level 1 (SA1s) were selected with probability proportional to the number of private households as at the 2011 Census. In non–capital city areas, statistical areas level 2 (SA2s) were selected for the first stage (previously statistical local areas), rather than SA1s, as this had considerable efficiency benefits. In non–capital city areas, SA2s for each stratum were selected with probability proportional to the number of households as at the 2011 Census. From within each selected SA2, SA1s were selected with probability proportional to the number of private households as at the 2011 Census. A starting address within each selected SA1 was randomly selected, and interviewing started at the dwelling next door to this. Interviewers followed a comprehensive set of procedures to select a dwelling, including skip intervals, eligible and ineligible addresses, and dealing with blocks of flats and units. Interviewers made 3 attempts to establish face-to-face contact with the selected dwellings. The selected respondent was the household member aged 12 or older who most recently celebrated their birthday.

Actions to Minimize Losses

Several strategies were used in an attempt to minimise cases of non-contact and non-response and improve the response rate. These included: - interviewers conducting call backs at different times on different days - providing respondents with a letter of introduction and support from the Director of the AIHW - providing respondents with a colour brochure, which outlines information about the survey and frequently asked questions - leaving calling cards where appropriate - operating two 2 ‘1800’ numbers to answer queries, : one to the AIHW for questions about the confidentiality of the survey, and one to Roy Morgan Research for operational queries - translating a letter of introduction and frequently asked questions into 5 languages (Italian, Greek, traditional Chinese, Vietnamese and Arabic). - offering respondents a choice of completion modes (paper, online and telephone) - interviewers showing media articles detailing actions and policies undertaken as a result of past NDSHS waves to potential respondents - interviewers showing to potential respondents the AIHW confidentiality agreement signed by all project staff (including interviewers) and the Roy Morgan Research Privacy Policy in an effort to allay fears in relation to privacy and confidentiality - sending emails-mails and SMS reminders to those completing online, making up to three 3 contact phone calls to those completing by telephone and making up to three 3 pick-up visits to collect paper questionnaires (as well as making a final visit to online and telephone completers where necessary) - providing respondents with a black ball point pen; this was to help minimise scanning errors on paper questionnaires (which needs to be completed in a black ballpoint pen) but also may have acted as small incentive to complete.

Weighting

The sample was designed to provide a random sample of households within each geographic stratum. Respondents within each stratum were assigned weights to overcome imbalances arising in the design and execution of the sampling. The main weighting took into account geographical stratification, household size, age and sex. The population estimates used for the weighting were based on the latest available age/sex profile using the latest published ABS Estimated Resident Population data (Cat. no. 3101.0 - – Australian Demographic Statistics, June 2016). The 3101.0 series provided gave the necessary level of age breakdown by sState/Territory territory but not by stratum. The stratum level population estimates were projected from the ABS Population by Age and Sex, Regions of Australia series (Cat no. 3235.0 – Population by Age and Sex, Regions of Australia, 2015). All estimates should be based on the weighted sample. Main weight is Weight7. Use Weight8 for household weighting.

Cleaning Operations

The data were checked by the archive for missing variable and value labels, out of range values and wild codes, logical inconsistencies, and confidentiality.
