The National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) is Australia's third national oral examination survey of a representative sample of Australian adults. The study was undertaken primarily to describe levels of oral health in the population and to describe trends since the first survey, conducted in 1987-88. The aim of the study was to complete 7,200 examinations, necessitating approximately 15,200 completed interviews. Survey participants were selected using a multi-stage probability sampling design that began with the sampling of postcodes within states/territories in Australia. Individuals within selected postcodes were then selected by the Australian Government Department of Human Services (DHS) from the Medicare database. Following an initial opt-out period, participants were given the option to either complete the questionnaire online or to complete the questionnaire via a computer-assisted telephone interview. Participants were asked a series of questions about their oral health and dental service use and those who reported having one or more of their own natural teeth were invited to undergo a standardised oral examination. Examinations were conducted by state/territory dental practitioners who underwent prior training and calibration in survey procedures by the Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health (ARCPOH), The University of Adelaide.
《澳大利亚成人口腔健康研究》（NSAOH）是澳大利亚第三次对代表性成人样本进行的全国口腔检查调查。该研究主要旨在描述人群中的口腔健康水平，并描述自 1987-88 年首次调查以来的趋势。该研究的目的是完成 7200 次检查，需要大约 15200 次完成的访谈。调查参与者是使用多阶段概率抽样设计选择的，该设计首先从澳大利亚各州/地区的邮政编码开始抽样。然后，澳大利亚政府人类服务部（DHS）从医疗保险数据库中选择选定邮政编码内的个人。在初始选择退出期之后，参与者可以选择在线完成问卷，也可以通过计算机辅助电话访谈完成问卷。参与者被问及一系列关于他们的口腔健康和牙科服务使用的问题，那些报告有一颗或多颗自己的天然牙齿的人被邀请接受标准化的口腔检查。检查由州/地区的牙医进行，他们在阿德莱德大学澳大利亚人口口腔健康研究中心（ARCPOH）进行了调查程序的预先培训和校准。
