2 Introduction The Health Barometer survey (INPES the French national institute for prevention and education in health) SERIES OF SURVEYS REFERENCE POPULATION SAMPLING SIZE SAMPLING DESIGNS DATA COLLECTION RESPONSE RATE (five-yearly) Households /85 years olds. 25,000 / 30,000 Two-stages random design ( households, individuals). Telephone interviews (mobile phone only and landline) 61 % 2

3 OBJECTIVE MAIN OBJECTIVE To provide information on various French health behaviours and attitudes Specific drugs objectives, related to the population aged 15 to 64 : To estimate the prevalence (%) of psychoactive substance use To describe the diversity of practices (lifetime use, current use, regular use ) To follow the evolutions of different psychoactive substances uses To analyze the association between consumption of these substances and demographic characteristics To participate in regional data collection 3

4 METHODOLOGY Time frame: The data were collected from october 2009 to july 2010 Sample size : randomized sample around 27,700 persons years olds. Area population : national household with telephone (mobile phone only and landline). Age range questionnaire: Among years olds (illegal subtances) 4

5 METHODOLOGY The response rate and its calculation To determine the response rate of this GPS : it is necessary to put in relation the number of overall respondents with the number of eligible individuals. Extrapolate the ineligible households within the group of non-respondents households. The non-response rate observed at the end of the investigation, except withdrawals and missed appointments, can thus be estimated at 39% in the landline study and in the mobile study. 5

6 METHODOLOGY Various steps to increase the response rate: Letter of introduction before the data collection In the event of non-response of the households, automatic call-back up at different times and different days If the individual is unavailable, an appointment is made A single call-back of "refusing households", given that it is not necessarily the individual who could have been chosen that has opposed a refusal. This procedure has cut down by 10% refusals to participate.
