Abstract

In a non-response follow-up study, non-respondents of the original mailed questionnaire were approached again by house visits in order to compare their alcohol consumption with that of the respondents of the same mailed questionnaire. Differences in alcohol consumption between respondents and non-respondents were found. There is strong evidence for overrepresentation of non-response among abstainers, but weak evidence among frequent excessive drinkers.

摘要

在一项无应答随访研究中，通过上门拜访再次联系最初邮寄问卷的无应答者，以便将他们的酒精消费量与同一邮寄问卷的应答者进行比较。发现应答者和无应答者在酒精消费方面存在差异。有充分证据表明戒酒者中无应答的比例过高，但频繁过度饮酒者中无应答的证据不足。
