The same question was also asked about the following list:
More than one response was allowed for both of these items. Respondents could also give a don't know, refusal or no response. Data items The data items and related output categories for this topic are available in Excel spreadsheet format from the Downloads page of this product. Interpretation Points to be considered in interpreting data for this topic include the following:
Comparability with 2004-05 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (NATSIHS) Data for common types of family stressors are considered directly comparable between the 2004-05 NATSIHS and 2012-13 NATSIHS. However, it should be noted that not all categories listed in 2012-13 were asked in 2004-05, and the lists differed in 2004-05 between the non-remote and remote interviews, whereas the 2012-13 survey was consistent for all areas. This may have resulted in an under-reporting of family stressors in the 2004-05 NATSIHS and as such it is advised that the number of family stressors an individual experiences are not compared between these surveys. Comparability with 2008 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) Data for common items are considered directly comparable between the 2008 NATSISS and 2012-13 NATSIHS. The only category not to be asked in the NATSISS was that of 'Feeling unsafe'. Respondents were also unable to give a 'Don't know' response to these items. Additional questions were asked in the NATSISS about which of these stressors personally occurred to the respondent, how these stressors made the respondent feel and help sought. As these additional questions were not asked in the NATSIHS they are unable to be compared. Comparability with 2011-12 National Health Survey (NHS) Data for common types of family stressors are considered comparable between the 2011-12 NHS and 2012-13 NATSIHS. However, it should be noted that not all categories listed in the NATSIHS were asked in the NHS. This may have resulted in an under-reporting of family stressors in the NHS and as such it is advised that the number of family stressors an individual experiences are not compared between these surveys.
