Abstract
Males were under-represented in the survey, making up 43.1 per cent of the survey sample, compared with 49.8 per cent of the NSW population. Conversely, females were over-represented, making up 56.9 per cent of the survey sample, compared with 50.2 per cent of the NSW population. Among both sexes, people aged 44 years or younger were under-represented in the sample, while people aged 45 years or over were over-represented.https://doi.org/10.1071/NB04S48
