SURVEYS
Surveys are systems used to collect and record data vital to epidemiology and future planning of oral health.
Often, hundreds or thousands of subjects have to be surveyed, and the data must be recorded and analysed. Surveys must therefore be simple, reproducible and non-time-consuming.
As mentioned throughout this book, two surveys are of particular significance to the OHE: Adult Dental Health Survey (ADHS) 2009. Dental Health Survey of Children and Young People 2003.
