本文考虑了多层次模型在健康研究中的使用。人们的注意力集中在此类模型的结构和潜力上，并特别考虑了它们在阐明与个人层面的社会和人口因素相关的情境效应在理解健康结果、健康相关行为和卫生服务绩效方面的重要性的用途。四种图形类型用于概述多级模型可以解决的问题，本文通过利用许多不同研究领域已发表的示例来说明其潜力。 (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This paper considers the use of multilevel models in health research. Attention focuses on the structure and potential of such models and particular consideration is given to their use in elucidating the importance of contextual effects in relation to individual level social and demographic factors in understanding health outcomes, health-related behaviour and health service performance. Four graphical typologies are used to outline the questions that multilevel models can address and the paper illustrates their potential by drawing on published examples in a number of different research areas.
