Community Health Needs Study: Inala-Ipswich Corridor, 1994

The Inala-Ipswich Corridor Community Health Needs Study is a component of the Better Building Cities Program which aims to improve the quality of the living environments for residents in the Ipswich-Inala corridor and to hasten the pace of institutional reform at the Wolston Park Hospital Complex at Wacol and the Challinor Centre at Ipswich. The objectives of the study were to undertake a comprehensive community assessment of the corridor population in conjunction with State and Local Goverment departments; to determine current and potential future health needs for the Corridor consistent with trends in population projections, and to assess community expectations and utilisation of health and related services.

Residents of the corridor were asked to provide information on the following: ownership of private health insurance; use and location of, and preference for, health services such as hospitals and dental clinics; consultations with GPs and the result of these consultations; referral to and use of specialists; awareness of kinds of health facilities in the West Moreton region and those that were used; satisfaction with services in the areas, and health services deemed necessary for the area.

Background variables include age, sex, age when left school, post-school qualifications, employment status, main source of income, use of pensions or benefits, length of time lived in West Moreton region; main language spoken at home and structure of household.

members of households from Census Collector Districts in the Inala-Ipswich Corridor

Kind of Data:

survey

Methodology

Time Method:

cross-sectional (one-time) study

Data Collector:

Reark Research

Sampling Procedure:

simple random sample with clusters spread A sample of households from Census Collector Districts (CCDs) reflecting the population size and density across the region was selected. The sample CCDs for both the metropolitan and rural regions were selected from a cumulative count of dwellings, by CCD, taken from the 1991 census. From this cumulative list, the total number of dwellings from each particular region was determined by the number of CCDs (start points) required. The next dwelling and consequential CCD was selected by incrementing the dwelling number by this interval. This process was then repeated for the number of start points required. Interviewing commences at each start point and is continued until the required number of interviews for each CCD were achieved. Number of units in original sample: 1095

Mode of Data Collection:

personal interview

Class of the Study:

Level 2
