Description topics
- Medical contacts
- Persons are asked if they had contact with their GP, specialist, dentist, dental hygienist, orthodontist, physiotherapist, exercise therapist, psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist, and if he or she is treated by alternative healer. Also, if there were hospital admissions or day care admissions. For children up to 12 years old, these questions are answered by the parent/guardian. Most questions after medical contacts are asked to persons of all ages. Contacts that do not often occur in the case of children are posed from an older age.
- Contact with dentist
- Visits at the dentist’s. Contacts with the dental hygienist, orthodontist and dental surgeon are not taken into account. The questions are posed to everyone of 1 year or older. It is assumed that children of 0 years of age do not go to the dentist.
- Persons with at least 1 contact
- Percentage of persons in the population who contacted a dentist at least once in the 12 months preceding the interview.
- Contacts per person
- This figure is the average number of contacts in the 12 months preceding the interview, per person in the population.
In order to prevent distortion as a consequence of bad memory respondents are asked after the number of contacts in the last 4 weeks preceding the interview. In order to calculate the average number of contacts in the 12 months preceding the interview, the number of contacts in 4 weeks is multiplied by 13 (13 periods of 4 weeks make 1 year).
- Contacts p.p. with at least 1 contact
- This figure is the average number of contacts of persons who in the 12 months preceding the interview at least had contact once.
In order to prevent distortion as a consequence of bad memory respondents are asked after the number of contacts in the last 4 weeks preceding the interview.
