CENTRAL QUEENSLAND HSD SUMMARY REPORT
Introduction
This report provides the prevalence of key population health indicators for adults (aged 18 years and
older) of the Central Queensland Health Service District (HSD) by age, sex, and area-based quintiles of
socioeconomic advantage/disadvantage. Indicators are derived from data pooled from the Self
Reported Adult Health Status (SRAHS) 2009 survey and the Self Reported Health Status (SRHS) 2010
survey.
Other reports in this 2009–2010 series (listed inside the front cover) and reports for the 2009 and 2010
surveys for Queensland and other HSDs are available on the Queensland Health internet site at
http://www.health.qld.gov.au. Each report also lists epidemiology staff at Queensland Health that are
able to provide further assistance.
Methods
Both the 2009 and 2010 surveys were conducted using computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI)
by trained interviewers and supervisors. The combination of the two surveys provides a total of 16,530
completed interviews for Queensland, with 785 from Central Queensland HSD. The response rate for
Central Queensland HSD was 55.4% in the 2009 survey and 64.4% in the 2010 survey. The response
rate for Queensland was 56.7% in the 2009 survey and 64.5% in the 2010 survey.
Survey measures
The questionnaires for the surveys wHUH developed by Queensland Health specifically for this purpose.
To ensure quality data, questionnaires are based on instruments validated by other researchers,
recommendations by expert working groups, or questions successfully used previously by Queensland
Health and/or other state health jurisdictions.
The following self reported measures were based on identical question sets delivered to
respondents in each survey and are presented in this report:
•
•
•
•
•
Demographic measures (age, sex, place of residence)
Body mass index (BMI) based on height and weight
Physical activity
Fruit consumption

Target population and sample frame
The target population for each survey was households in Queensland with at least one individual aged
16 years and older (SRHS 2010) or 18 years and older (SRAHS 2009). From each selected private
household the person who had most recently had a birthday was asked to participate.
The telephone numbers for each survey were sourced by random digit dialling (RDD) using a specific
sample frame from the Association of Market and Social Research Organisations (AMSRO) RDD
sample database. A small, but unknown, proportion of the target population was excluded from
selection in either survey because their household did not have a fixed telephone.
Pooling 2009 and 2010 data
Data from the SRAHS 2009 and the SRHS 2010 were combined into a single dataset. Data were only
pooled when variables were identical in terms of both question wording and response options. These
criteria excluded reporting for some indicators (e.g. alcohol consumption) as different questions were
used in the two surveys. Data for persons aged 16 and 17 years were collected only in the SRHS 2010
and were excluded from the pooled dataset. Derived variables were re-calculated in the combined
dataset and verified against the original calculations in the source datasets. The pooled dataset was
then re-weighted.
Please refer to the following reports (which include a copy of the questionnaire) and the methods report
outlining the approach for pooling and weighting the data from the two surveys:

Weighting
Data presented in this report are weighted by age and sex distribution for the HSD as reported in the
Estimated Resident Population (ERP) for Queensland 2008 (Table 1). The data were also weighted for
the number of adults per household and the number of fixed telephone lines to the household. The
weighted results and associated confidence intervals can be considered an accurate representation of
the demographic profile of the adult residents in this HSD.
Guide to interpretation
This report presents the prevalence of chronic disease risk factors calculated using two different
methods. Each method provides different information and should be used in distinctly different ways
depending upon the question being asked.
First, population weighted prevalence levels are presented. Population weighting adjusts for over- or
under representation of subpopulations during data collection (see Weighting section above).
Population weighted prevalence is used to compare different subpopulations within a geographic area,
for example different age groups, or between males and females. Population weighted prevalence is
also used to indicate the number of cases in an area, for example the number of smokers in a HSD.
This information is valuable for service planning. Population weighted prevalence for key population
health indicators are provided in the summary table on page 3 and throughout the body of this report.
Second, age-standardised prevalence levels are calculated. Age standardisation adjusts for
differences in age composition between two populations (for example, populations from distinct
geographic regions). It is used in situations where exposure or disease incidence is correlated with
age, a common occurrence for chronic diseases risk factors. Age standardisation controls for
variation in population age structure so that differences due to factors other than age can be
observed. Age-standardised prevalence for the HSD and Queensland are presented in the age
standardised summary table on page 7 and should be used for regional comparisons based on
factors other than age. This is the purpose of providing age standardised prevalence in this report.
To be consistent with convention at other institutions, the Australian population as of June 2001
according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census is currently used as the standard
population.
In this report, 95% confidence intervals (CI) and relative standard error (RSE) are used to demonstrate
the precision of the estimates. The CI is a range of values that would contain the true population value
95% of the time if this survey were repeated on multiple samples and is a function of sample size and
prevalence of the health factor being investigated. Thus a large confidence interval reflects a less
precise estimate. The precision of the estimate affects the ability to detect differences. When CIs are
small, differences are more clear; when CIs are wide, it is possible a difference may exist but that
sample size wasn’t sufficient to make a distinction. The reporting of difference between categories is
noted only when the difference is statistically significant (based on non-overlap of 95% confidence
intervals). If this criterion is not met, no difference is noted in the text. Occasionally confidence intervals
will appear to overlap in tables but results are noted as significant in text; such discrepancies are due to
rounding.
RSE is calculated by dividing the standard error of the estimate by the estimate itself and is expressed
as a percentage of the estimate. It is particularly useful when assessing the reliability of estimates with
large confidence intervals. As based on methodology used by the ABS, prevalence with RSE less than
25% are considered reliable, prevalence with an RSE between 25% and 50% should be interpreted
with caution (marked with ‘*’) and prevalence with an RSE greater than 50% are not considered reliable
and are not included in the tables (marked with ‘**’). Only estimates with an RSE less than 25% are
noted in text or indicated as different in tables.
Table 1 presents the number (Sample n), weighted sample percent and 2008 ERP for demographic
categories within the HSD. Care should be taken when interpreting the estimates presented in this
report when the sample size is small or where the weighted sample percent varies markedly from the
2008 ERP. This is most likely to be observed in the youngest and oldest age categories, or when
estimates are presented by sex or by area of socioeconomic advantage/disadvantage.

* Socioeconomic advantage/disadvantage 2008 ERP distribution is based on 2006 SEIFA classifications of SLAs. Quintiles were population weighted
indirectly during the age/sex/HSD weighting procedure. There were changes to the geographies of a small number of Queensland SLAs between 2006 and
2008. This may have a small impact on the estimated proportion of 2008 population (2008 ERP) in socioeconomic quintiles for Central Queensland, Darling
Downs-West Moreton, Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay. This affects the 2008 ERP only and does not impact on the socioeconomic advantage/disadvantage
results or sample distribution.

CENTRAL QUEENSLAND HSD SUMMARY REPORT
Comparison to Queensland
The age-standardised prevalence of population health indicators for Central Queensland HSD and for
Queensland are tabulated in Table 2. This table includes comparisons based on age-standardised
prevalence between the HSD and Queensland. These prevalence results should be used when making
comparisons between geographic regions where factors other than age are of interest. Prevalence
levels within an area are reported in the population weighted “Summary of Key Indicators” on page 3
and in the “Comparison of population subgroups” in the following section.
• The prevalence of obesity was 29% higher in Central Queensland HSD in than Queensland.
• The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 12% higher in Central Queensland HSD than in
Queensland.
• The prevalence of adults within the healthy weight range was 14% lower in Central Queensland
HSD than in Queensland.
