Characteristics of participants and nonparticipants in a population based diagnostic survey of mental and substance use disorders. A follow-up study of the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT)
Contrary to most prior studies examining nonresponse bias, the results indicate that people who had been in contact with the health services for mental health problems were more inclined to participate in a survey focused on mental disorders. The direction of nonresponse bias should be carefully considered and adjusted for in population-based studies.
