The National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) 2017-18 collected information from a sample of the Australian population aged 15 years and over. The Study comprised an interview questionnaire, completed by telephone or online, and an oral epidemiological examination among dentate participants. Participation in the Study was voluntary and therefore relied on the goodwill of selected participants. This paper provides a summary of participation rates for the Interview and Examination phases of the study. The potential for biased population estimates due to variation in participation rates is explored. The weighting procedure implemented to ensure the sample is representative of the target population is described and a comparison of the estimated population distributions derived from the weighted sample and the actual population distributions is provided for a range of socioeconomic characteristics. In summary, it can be concluded that estimates derived from the weighted Interview and Examination samples are valid estimates of the Australian population aged 15 years and over.
《2017-18 年澳大利亚全国成人口腔健康研究》（NSAOH）从年龄在 15 岁及以上的澳大利亚人群中抽取样本收集信息。该研究包括通过电话或在线完成的访谈问卷和有牙参与者的口腔流行病学检查。该研究的参与是自愿的，因此依赖于选定参与者的善意。本文提供了研究中访谈和检查阶段的参与率摘要。探讨了由于参与率的差异导致的人口估计出现偏差的可能性。描述了为确保样本具有代表性而实施的加权程序，并提供了一系列社会经济特征的加权样本和实际人口分布的估计人口分布的比较。总的来说，可以得出结论，加权访谈和检查样本得出的估计数是对年龄在 15 岁及以上的澳大利亚人口的有效估计。
