Health Beliefs Dataset

The first stage of sampling involved inviting panel participants of the Australian Health and Social Science (AHSS) project (run by CQUniversity Australia), to complete an online survey. The AHSS national panel is recruited annually via dedicated computer assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) and random number land- line and mobile calling, with participants also invited via annual institutional omnibus CATI surveys recruited via the same method. At the time of the survey launch, the panel comprised 3864 mem- bers. Each participant was sent a personalised e-mail that contained instructions on how to complete, with a link and password to the SSI hosting software. A total of 1744 complete responses were obtained from the AHSS panel. This dataset was supplemented by utilising SSI’s commercial recruitment services—with instruc- tions to provide 1000 general-population Australian participants, with an approximate balance with respect to gender and major age categories. Members of the SSI panel are provided with cash and in-kind incentives to complete online surveys. A further 953 com- plete responses were obtained by this method, yielding a dataset for analysis of 2697 cases (1306 male). The mean participant age was 58 (min = 18, max = 89, SD = 14.8). Further details on methodology are contained in 2 published journal articles.

本数据集的采集阶段首先涉及邀请澳大利亚健康与社会科学项目（由CQUniversity Australia运营）的调研小组参与者完成在线调查。该AHSS国家调研小组通过专项计算机辅助电话访谈（CATI）和随机号码固定电话及移动电话呼叫每年招募，同时，参与者亦通过年度机构综合CATI调查以同样的方式被邀请。在调查启动时，调研小组由3864名成员组成。每位参与者均收到包含完成指南、链接及访问密码的个人化电子邮件，以访问SSI托管软件。从AHSS调研小组共获得1744份完整回应。通过利用SSI的商业招募服务，补充了数据集，具体指令为招募1000名普通澳大利亚民众参与者，性别和主要年龄类别的大致平衡。SSI调研小组的成员在完成在线调查时，将获得现金和实物激励。此外，通过此方法又获得953份完整回应，从而形成了包含2697个案例（其中1306名男性）的分析数据集。参与者的平均年龄为58岁（最小值18岁，最大值89岁，标准差14.8）。有关方法的更多详细信息包含在两篇已发表的期刊文章中。
