Further Australian research is also required in terms of different weighting or post-survey adjustment strategies (eg raking) [ 26], improved sampling strategies [ 27] and the advantages and disadvantages of mixed mode surveying [ 28] (such as telephone, face-to-face, mail or internet), in order to improve the coverage of the sampling frame and minimise bias.
A continuous exchange of information between FP and endocrinologists was established across face to face meetings, mail or phone contact.
Often self-reported health care visits are collected by a questionnaire designed specifically for the individual study to capture the health care resource of interest and this can be administered face to face, by mail out or over the telephone.
Rather, this article considers only general-population surveys (i.e., telephone, face to face, or mailed) as sources of information on the disabilities associated with different health states.
