“…The distribution of demographic, socioeconomic and social characteristics in a previous public health survey with a similar response rate conducted in 2000 accorded acceptably well with the distribution of these characteristics in the population of Skåne in 2000 when compared with register statistics depicting the same characteristics (Carlsson et al, 2006). Internationally unpublished data show some under-representation in the age interval 18-34 years (22.0% among respondents but 29.0% in the original sample) and some corresponding over-representation in the 65-80 year age interval (22.9% among respondents but 18.0% in the sample).…”

Logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations adjusting for age, country of birth, socioeconomic status, emotional support, instrumental support and trust, and stratifying by sex. The accumulation hypothesis was confirmed because combined childhood and adulthood exposures to economic stress were associated with poor psychological health in a graded manner. The social mobility hypothesis was also confirmed. The critical period hypothesis was not confirmed because both childhood and adulthood economic stress remained significantly associated with poor psychological health in adulthood. Economic stress in childhood is associated with mental health in adulthood.

“…However, this underestimation has not been large in other studies (Coffey et al, 2002). The age, sex and education distributions also correspond well with the age, sex and education distribution in the general population registers in Skåne (Carlsson et al, 2006). There are thus no strong reasons to believe that there is serious selection bias.…”

The random sample was weighted by age, sex, and geographic area to account for the non-proportional stratified sampling of the survey and ensure that correct estimations of prevalence (%) for the entire Scania region are…”

Representativity of a postal public health questionnaire survey in Sweden, with special reference to ethnic differences in participation

Abstract: In summary, the "Health Survey for Scania, 2000" seems largely representative of the total Scanian population. A major concern, however, is the under-representation of the immigrant population.
