Nederland de Maat Genomen‘Measuring the Netherlands’

- experiences from the Netherlands-

Assignment Ministry of Public Health and Welfare

Population-based study in order to estimate the prevalence of:

• (abdominal) obesity

• metabolic risk factors

• undiagnosed diabetes

Target population: 18-70 years of age, nationally representative sample

Target number: 10.000 respondents (for stratification purposes, especially SES)

Challenge was to design the study in such a way that results would be generalizable to the general population

So:• Representative sample

• Large enough to say something about subgroups (power)

• High response!

• Characterisation of non-respondents

• High quality standardized measures

• Logistically feasible

…..and….within budget!!

Measurements

• Height, weight, waist/hip circumference

• Blood sample: total/HDL chol, triglyceride, fasting glucose, HbA1c

• ‘short’ questionnaire to fill in at home

• Measurements in the morning, 7-10 am, at a research center

Communication

• Specially designed materials with photo’s of all types of people

• Recommendation letter of municipal health service

• Local radio, newspaper (tv)

• We informed general practitioners in the region

General invitation scheme

• Letter with information and reply card

- Send back reply: are you willing to participate?

- If yes invitation + questionnaire

- If no please answer non-response questions

- If not returned: reminder after 3 weeks

» If still no reaction telephone calls, max. 6 times

» If no contact second (last) reminder

• Incentive 10 euro’s (+ simple breakfast)

• Examination center open 7-10 am Mo-Sat (fasting blood)

• If no reaction: reminder

New approach: 2 locations maximum effort

• Invitation + reply card

• 5 euro included in invitation letter

• If no reaction: reminder

• If no reaction still door-knocking to invite people,

- Measure height and weight

- if they are not willing try to get them answering the non-response questions

- If not, estimate BMI (rough categories normal/overweight/severly overweight)

New approach

• Incentive to come to the center: 50 euro

• Research center open whole day+evening, our preference is fasting blood

• Exclude the 18-29 year olds.

- Design a separate strategy to reach this group

• Add an ‘interesting measurement’? (cost, meaning,..)

….approval from medical ethical committee….

Communication

• Publicity: more than before

- poster in supermarkets,

- local newspapers/radio/TV,

- use quotes from previous respondents and general practitioner in invitation brochure

- use quote of general practitioner in invitaion brochure

- trigger on the envelop

Communication

‘How to sell a health survey to the public?’
