Participación y representatividad de la población inmigrante en la Encuesta Nacional de Salud de España 2011-2012

Resumen

The lower participation of the immigrant population and differences in participation depending on the country of origin suggest the existence of a potential bias in the SNHS, which should be taken into account in studies analyzing the health of this population. The lower participation rate should be studied in greater depth in order to take appropriate measures to increase the representativeness of health surveys.
