Background This paper describes the methods and process of the Second Australian Study of Health and Relationships.
A representative sample of the Australian population was contacted by landline and mobile phone modified random-digit dialling in 2012-13. Computer-assisted telephone interviews elicited sociodemographic and health details as well as sexual behaviour and attitudes. For analysis, the sample was weighted to reflect the study design and further weighted to reflect the location, age and sex distribution of the population at the 2011 Census.
Interviews were completed with 9963 men and 10131 women aged 16-69 years from all states and territories. The overall participation rate among eligible people was 66.2% (63.9% for landline men, 67.9% for landline women and 66.5% for mobile respondents). Accounting for the survey design and adjusting to match the 2011 Census resulted in a weighted sample of 20094 people (10056 men and 10038 women). The sample was broadly representative of the Australian population, although as in most surveys, people with higher education and higher status occupations were over-represented. Data quality was high, with the great majority saying they were not at all or only slightly embarrassed by the questionnaire and almost all saying they were 90-100% honest in their answers.
The combination of methods and design in the Second Australian Study of Health and Relationships, together with the high participation rate, strongly suggests that the results of the study are robust and broadly representative of the Australian population.
背景 本文描述了第二次澳大利亚健康与关系研究的方法和过程。
2012 - 2013年，通过固定电话和手机修改后的随机数字拨号联系了澳大利亚人口的代表性样本。计算机辅助电话访谈获取了社会人口统计学和健康细节以及性行为和态度方面的信息。为了进行分析，对样本进行加权以反映研究设计，并进一步加权以反映2011年人口普查时人口的地理位置、年龄和性别分布。
来自所有州和领地的9963名16 - 69岁男性和10131名16 - 69岁女性完成了访谈。符合条件的人群总体参与率为66.2%（固定电话男性为63.9%，固定电话女性为67.9%，手机受访者为66.5%）。考虑到调查设计并进行调整以匹配2011年人口普查，得到了一个加权样本，共20094人（10056名男性和10038名女性）。该样本大致代表了澳大利亚人口，不过与大多数调查一样，受过高等教育和从事较高地位职业的人在样本中的比例过高。数据质量很高，绝大多数人表示他们对问卷一点也不感到尴尬或只是略有尴尬，几乎所有人都说他们在回答中90 - 100%诚实。
第二次澳大利亚健康与关系研究中的方法和设计，再加上高参与率，有力地表明该研究结果可靠，且大致代表了澳大利亚人口。
