Aims: Health examinaton surveys (HES) provide important informaton about populaton health and health
related factors, but declining partcipaton rates threaten the representatveness of collected data. It is hard
to conduct natonal HESs so that examinaton clinics would be near to every sampled individual. Thus, it is
interestng to look into the possible associaton between the distance from home to the examinaton clinic
and non-partcipaton, and whether there is a certain distance after which the partcipaton actvity
decreases considerably.
Methods: Data from two natonal HESs conducted in Finland in 2011 and 2012 were used and a logistc
regression model was fitted to investgate how distance was related to non-partcipaton.
Results: We found out that non-partcipaton modestly increased with distance to the examinaton clinic. An
additonal analysis indicated that a possibility to have an examinaton at home may decrease the effect of
distance to partcipaton.
Conclusions: Long distances from home to the examinaton clinic are one reason for low partcipaton
actvity. Possible bias caused by these differences in partcipaton could be decreased by providing a
possibility for home examinaton.

Statistical modelling of selective non-participation in health examination surveys
Kopra, Juho (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Health examination surveys aim to collect reliable information on the health and risk factors of a population of interest. Missing data occur when some invitees do not participate the survey. If non-participation is ... -
Recommendations for design and analysis of health examination surveys under selective non-participation
Karvanen, Juha; Härkänen, Tommi; Reinikainen, Jaakko; Tolonen, Hanna (Oxford University Press, 2019)Background The decreasing participation rates and selective non-participation peril the representativeness of health examination surveys (HESs). Methods Finnish HESs conducted in 1972–2012 are used to demonstrate that ... -
Adjusting for selective non-participation with re-contact data in the FINRISK 2012 survey
Kopra, Juho; Härkänen, Tommi; Tolonen, Hanna; Jousilahti, Pekka; Kuulasmaa, Kari; Reinikainen, Jaakko; Karvanen, Juha (Sage, 2018)Aims: A common objective of epidemiological surveys is to provide population-level estimates of health indicators. Survey results tend to be biased under selective non-participation. One approach to bias reduction is ... -
Participation rates by educational levels have diverged during 25 years in Finnish health examination surveys
Reinikainen, Jaakko; Tolonen, Hanna; Borodulin, Katja; Härkänen, Tommi; Jousilahti, Pekka; Karvanen, Juha; Koskinen, Seppo; Kuulasmaa, Kari; Männistö, Satu; Rissanen, Harri; Vartiainen, Erkki (Oxford University Press, 2018)Background Declining participation rates in health examination surveys may impair the representativeness of surveys and introduce bias into the comparison of results between population groups if participation rates differ ... -
Nordic adolescents responding to demanding survey scales in boring contexts : Examining straightlining
Aarø, Leif Edvard; Fismen, Anne‐Siri; Wold, Bente; Skogen, Jens Christoffer; Torsheim, Torbjørn; Arnarsson, Ársæll Már; Lyyra, Nelli; Löfstedt, Petra; Eriksson, Charli (John Wiley & Sons, 2022)Introduction Straightlining, or identical responses across all items within a multi-item scale, is often taken as an indication that responses to all items in a questionnaire are of poor quality. The purpose of this study ...
