The surveys were conducted by telephone, using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). More than 17,000 randomly selected adults participated in each year.

The current report combines results of both 1997 and 1998 surveys and updates the NSW Health Survey 1997 electronic report.

New topic areas are oral health, health-related quality of life measured using the EuroQol-5D instrument, self-reported PAP test screening rates, motorbikes on rural properties, and fences on rural properties. The report also contains breakdowns for most topic areas by indigenous status, country of birth, language spoken at home, language of interview, socioeconomic disadvantage, self-rated health and geographic remoteness.
