| Impact | While we made a case for a reduction of the overall survey sample size by around a third, with a small reduction in topics covered by the survey, our alternative arguments put forward in favour of halving the number of topics covered by the survey every year and collecting data on each topic every second year, with a small reduction in sample size supported the ultimate decision to proceed on that basis. |

| Title | Post-hoc methodology for addressing non-response bias in population-sampled studies |
| Description | We have developed a method to address non-response bias in population-sampled studies using a comparison of mortality (and morbidity rates) for health-behavior related causes among survey respondents and the general population. This is undertaken via record linkage of survey respondents to death files (as well hospitalization data if available) to inform on harm outcomes, and compares harm rates for specific causes to those in the general population to allow inference on non-respondents. The approach then generates observations for non-respondents with the corresponding harm rates in each socio-demographic sub-group, uses multiple imputation to provide health-behavior estimates for the entire population and population sub-groups, and creates modified multiple imputations for health behaviors to represent likely differences in association between behaviors and harm between observed and missing respondents. |
