National Dental Telephone Interview Survey 2002

The purpose of this report is to present findings from the 2002 National Dental Telephone Interview Survey. The report is largely technical in nature, and where possible the results have been presented in the same format as used in previous reports published in this series. The majority of the survey was conducted from June 2002 to January 2003, with some final interviews completed during March to May 2003 by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's Dental Statistics and Research Unit, and collected basic features of oral health and dental care in the Australian population. The survey provides information on the broader parameters of dental health and access to services, and forms part of the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care's work program on adult access to dental care.
