“…First of all in any given Internet community, there are some individuals who are more likely than others to complete an online survey. This tendency can lead to a systematic bias known as self-selection bias (Thompson et al, 2003). Secondly, the focus of the current study was an investigation of the differences between compulsive and non-compulsive buyers with regard to the Big Five personality traits.…”

Subjective perceptions and perceived needs for dental care in a population can provide important information for policy-makers. This study aimed to assess self-perceived personal oral health status among the Saudi Arabia population who could be accessed through social media. A pre-tested questionnaire for completion online was designed to assess self-perceived oral health via 13 items in 4 domains with weighted scores from 1-3. The questionnaire was uploaded to the Internet and the link to it was made available through popular social networking sites in Saudi Arabia. With respondents recruited by snowball methods a total of 4618 people (57.2% males, 42.8% females) completed the questionnaire. The total mean score for the participants was 23.0 (SD 5.0) (scale range 13-39). Self-perceived oral health was rated as poor by 24.2% of respondents, average by 50.6% and good by 25.2%. Educational level, age and region but not sex were significantly associated with self-perceived oral health. ‫ـم.‬ ‫الفـ‬ ‫ـة‬ ‫لصحـ‬ ‫ـذايت‬ ‫الـ‬ ‫ـور‬ ‫التصـ‬ ‫ـع‬ ‫مـ‬ -‫ـري‬ ‫كبـ‬ ‫ـكل‬ ‫بشـ‬ -‫ـني‬ ‫مرتبطـ‬ ‫ـوع)‬ ‫النـ‬ ‫ـس‬ ‫(وليـ‬ Auto-perception de la santé bucco-dentaire personnelle dans la population saoudienne : approche par les médias sociaux RÉSUMÉ Les perceptions subjectives et les besoins perçus en matière de soins bucco-dentaires dans une population peuvent fournir des informations importantes pour les responsables de l'élaboration des politiques. La présente étude visait à évaluer l'état de santé bucco-dentaire perçue par l'individu dans la population saoudienne utilisant les médias sociaux. Un questionnaire préalablement testé et destiné à être rempli en ligne a été élaboré pour l'évaluation de la santé bucco-dentaire perçue par l'individu, au moyen de 13 items dans quatre domaines ayant des scores pondérés compris entre 1 et 3. Le questionnaire a été mis en ligne et le lien a été rendu accessible sur des sites de réseaux sociaux populaires en Arabie saoudite. Grâce à l'effet d'entraînement pour recruter les répondants, 4 618 personnes (57,2 % d'hommes, 42,8 % de femmes) au total ont rempli le questionnaire. Le score moyen total des participants était de 23,0 (ET 5,0) (extrêmes : 13-39). La santé bucco-dentaire a été auto-évaluée comme mauvaise par 24,2 % des répondants, comme moyenne par 50,6 % et comme bonne par 25,2 %. Le niveau d'études, l'âge et la région étaient significativement associés à l'état de santé bucco-dentaire perçu par l'individu, mais pas le sexe.‫املتوسط‬ ‫لرشق‬ ‫الصحية‬ ‫املجلة‬ ‫العرشون‬ ‫و‬ ‫احلادي‬ ‫املجلد‬ ‫اخلامس‬ ‫العدد‬ 343

“…Sampling bias depends on the study, for example, if it is not based on the general population, then there may be a bias (Hewson, 2008). Self-selection bias may be another issue (Thompson, Surface, Martin, & Sanders, 2003), as Wright (2005) indicates that certain types of people are more likely to complete an online survey. For example, some participants may receive many invitations to participate in surveys and become desensitised and apathetic, while others may be sceptical.…”
