This paper details the methods used to develop cross-sectional survey weights for the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children's (LSAC) Child Health CheckPoint study. The CheckPoint team recommend using the survey weights in analyses targeting population descriptive quantities such as mean values, in order to make less biased population-based inferences.
