1974年,一份调查问卷邮寄给了全国各地的卫生官员。收到了1,345份答复,至少占所有地方卫生部门的68%。本论文提供了从受访者中选出的汇总数据,涉及卫生部门、其管辖范围、组织、财务、职能、人员配备,以及当地卫生官员的培训、工资和其他特征。卫生部门广泛参与提供保健服务,包括直接的个人服务(占所有部门的25%)。就许多服务而言,卫生部门是辖区内唯一提供基本服务的部门。这些服务包括流动护理(8%)、妇幼保健(48.5%)、家庭护理(44.8%)和计划生育(38%)。改进和扩大项目的主要制约因素被认为是有限的财政支持、人员不足和设施不足。
In 1974 a questionnaire was mailed to the nation's local health officers. Responses were received from 1,345, at least 68 per cent of all local health departments. The present paper presents selected summary data from respondents concerning the health departments, their jurisdictions, organization, finance, functions, staffing, and about the training, salaries, and other characteristics of local health officers. Health departments are extensively involved in rendering health services, including direct personal services (25 per cent of all departments). For many services the health department is the sole provider of essential services in the area of jurisdiction. These services include ambulatory care (8 per cent), maternal and child health (48.5 per cent), home care (44.8 per cent), and family planning (38 per cent). The major constraints to improvement and expansion of programs are perceived as limited financial support, insufficient staff, and inadequate facilities.
