abstract: 'Background: Declining response rates are a common challenge to
|
|
|
|
epidemiological research. Response rates further are particularly low
|
|
|
|
among young people. We thus aimed to identify factors associated with
|
|
|
|
health survey response among young employees using different data
|
|
|
|
collection methods.
|
|
|
|
Methods: We included fully register-based data to identify key
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic, workplace and health-related factors associated with
|
|
|
|
response to a health survey collected via online and mailed
|
|
|
|
questionnaires. Additionally, telephone interviews were conducted for
|
|
|
|
those who had not responded via online or to the mailed survey. The
|
|
|
|
survey data collection was done in autumn 2017 among young employees of
|
|
|
|
the City of Helsinki, Finland (18-39 years, target population n=11,459).
|
|
|
|
Results: The overall response to the survey was 51.5\% (n=5898). The
|
|
|
|
overall findings suggest that differences in the distributions of
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic, workplace and health-related factors between respondents
|
|
|
|
in the online or mailed surveys, or telephone interviews, are relatively
|
|
|
|
minor. Telephone interview respondents were of lower socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
position, which helped improve representativeness of the entire cohort.
|
|
|
|
Despite the general broad representativeness of the data, some
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic and health-related factors contributed to response. Thus,
|
|
|
|
non-respondents were more often men, manual workers, from the lowest
|
|
|
|
income quartile, had part-time jobs, and had more long sickness absence
|
|
|
|
spells. In turn, job contract (permanent or temporary) and employment
|
|
|
|
sector did not affect survey response.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Despite a general representativeness of data of the target
|
|
|
|
population, socioeconomically more disadvantaged and those with long
|
|
|
|
sickness absence, are slightly overrepresented among non-respondents.
|
|
|
|
This suggests that when studying the associations between social factors
|
|
|
|
and health, the associations can be weaker than if complete data were
|
|
|
|
available representing all socioeconomic groups.'
