Deaths in non-custodial corrections, Australia and New Zealand,1987-1988
No full textThis study is one of several studies conducted for a Royal Commission inquiry into aboriginal deaths in custody. The purpose of the study was to obtain information on adult deaths which were reported to have occurred while the person was serving a non-custodial correctional order. 'Non-custodial correctional orders' included all orders which involve some form of supervision of a person by a correctional authority, outside an institution. It was intended that the results of the survey could be used to assist in placing into a broader perspective the data on Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal deaths obtained by other research studies of the Royal Commission. Topics covered in the present study included the time and manner of the individual's death, responsibility for the death (e.g. suicide, accident), characteristics of the individual's correctional order, and use of alcohol or drugs. Background variables included geographical location, and the age, sex, race (aboriginal or non-aboriginal), marital status, employment status, mental health history, physical health history, most serious offence, and correctional history of the individual. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, researchers and other users should be aware that material in this dataset may contain material that is considered offensive. The data have been retained because it represents an evidential record of language, beliefs or other cultural situations at a point in time. In line with normal ADA policy, variables (such as postcode) which could possibly be used to identify individuals have been removed or recoded from the public data file. Much of the original data, however, have been made publicy available by other parties, and if researchers would like to access the original data files, they can contact ADA and make a case for gaining access to these data

Online Panels Benchmarking Study, 2015
No full textThe Online Panels Benchmarking Study comprised three surveys based on probability samples of the Australian population and five surveys administered to members of non-probability online panels; altogether it includes the data from all eight surveys. The objectives of this study were to: (1) undertake the first Australian study comparing the accuracy of the results obtained from various surveys administered using probability based sampling methods and non-probability based sampling methods; (2) assess the usefulness of selected variables to calibrate non-probability online surveys with population benchmarks in an effort to reduce bias; and (3) compare the findings of this study to similar international studies. The questionnaire administered to these samples, the Health, Wellbeing and Technology Survey, was designed by researchers at the Social Research Centre and included a wide range of demographic measures and questions about health, wellbeing and the use of technology. Data collection for all eight iterations of the Health, Wellbeing and Technology Survey was undertaken between October and December 2015 with varying fieldwork periods designed to accommodate the particular requirements of each survey. All the questions used to measure primary and secondary demographic characteristics and the substantive items were adapted from high quality Federal government surveys. These items were chosen because there were high quality population benchmarks available for these measures. This was a critical part of the overall research design as it enabled the accuracy of the estimates derived from the various probability and non-probability surveys to be compared against each other and against official population benchmarks
