Russian National Health Telephone Survey (RNHTS) is a public health surveillance study that assesses various health-related quality of life, health-related behavior, and health care utilization indicators on a representative sample of the adult Russian population. All data will be collected via a Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI).
Russian National Health Telephone Survey (RNHTS) is the first public health surveillance study in Russia. The aim of RNTHS is to obtain unique representative data on health-related quality of life, health-related behaviors, and health care utilization indicators for the adult Russian population. Analysis of these indicators provides a detailed outlook on how health is associated with people's well-being, quality of life, and socio-demographic characteristics, which adds to official and aggregated statistics for Russia.
RNHTS consists of five sections. Section 1 includes socio-demographic characteristics of respondents such as their gender, age, marital status, education level, income level, employment status and location. Section 2 measures indicators of general health and health-related quality of life using the 3-level version of the EuroQol-5 Dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) and the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning questionnaire (WG-SS). Section 3 covers three health-related behaviours of respondents: smoking, drinking alcohol, and physical activity. Section 4 consists of questions about health care utilization in the last 12 months with an emphasis on patient choice between public and private health care. This section also measures how satisfied respondents were with health care services that they used, their unmet needs, and their health care avoidance. Section 5 is modifiable for each round (year) of RNHTS. This version of the protocol describes round 2 of RNHTS. In this round, Section 5 is devoted to measuring prevalence of arthritis in the adult Russian population and how it affects their quality of life as well as to learning about oral health and dental services utilization among Russian adults.
More than 2000 respondents will be randomly selected for RNHTS. All data will be collected using a Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) system, which allows real-time data capture and consolidation. All interviews will be conducted anonymously. The telephone survey will be conducted by Agency of Social Information St. Petersburg (ASI St. Petersburg). RNHTS data will be analysed using statistical analysis methods which will be presented using summary tables (summary statistics, contingency tables, frequency distributions), correlation coefficients, and estimates of regression models (coefficients, odds ratios, marginal effects). The results of statistical analysis will be compiled in one report with authors' comments on the findings.

| Questionnaire administration | Other | All study participants will be surveyed with the questionnaire, which includes such instruments as EQ-5D-3L and WG-SS, to assess their health-related quality of life, health-related behavior, and health care utilization indicators. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Self-assessed health status | Respondents will be asked to rate their health with the "in general, would you say that your health is excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor?" question. The answer that they choose represents their self-assessed (self-rated) health status. | Upon enrollment |
| Quality of life indicator measured by the 3-level version of the EuroQol-5 Dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) - health profile (state) | The EQ-5D-3L questionnaire consists of 5 questions in 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. In the 3-level version of the questionnaire, each domain has 3 levels. The 5 answers to the 5 questions are combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patients' health profile (state). | Upon enrollment |
| The visual analogue scale score (EQ-VAS) | The EQ-VAS records the patients' self rated-health on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 = the worst imaginable health and 100 = the best imaginable health. | Upon enrollment |
| Disability and functional limitations according to the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning questionnaire (WG-SS) | The WG-SS questionnaire is comprised of 6 questions about 6 core functional domains: seeing, hearing, walking, cognition, self-care, and communication. Each question has four response categories: " no difficulty", " some difficulty", "a lot of difficulty", "cannot do it at all". Disability is identified for individuals whose answer to at least one of the questions is "have a lot of difficulty" or "cannot do at all". Presence of functional limitations is also determined within each domain for each person if their answer to a question about the domain is either "have a lot of difficulty" or "cannot do at all". | Upon enrollment |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Upon enrollment |
Respondents will be asked when they last visited a dental care practitioner. They will be asked to specify where they chose to go: to a public dental care practitioner or to a private dental care practitioner.

If respondents report deciding not to seek dental care, they will be asked to specify the reasons that guided their decision. |
