An estimate of the prevalence of physical disability in the community based upon a sample survey may be influenced by the sample design and the response to the method of data collection employed. In this paper we describe a postal survey of a sample of households in the London borough of Lambeth and the procedures used for calculating the influence of these factors on the estimate produced. These procedures can be used to adjust the estimate to take account of the relative chance of households falling into the sample and to correct for non-response bias.
基于抽样调查对社区身体残疾患病率的估计可能会受到样本设计以及对所采用数据收集方法的回应的影响。在本文中,我们描述了对伦敦兰贝斯区一个家庭样本的邮寄调查,以及用于计算这些因素对所得估计值影响的程序。这些程序可用于调整估计值,以考虑家庭被纳入样本的相对概率,并校正无应答偏差。
