背景：组织领导人和学者呼吁医学界重新集中精力履行专业精神的核心原则。专业精神的一个关键要素是参与社区事务。目标：衡量医生投票率，作为公民参与的指标。设计：对平民、非机构化成年公民进行全国代表性家庭调查，对医生亚组进行横断面调查。参与者：1996 年至 2002 年当前人口调查 (CPS) 11 月选民补充资料中共有 350,870 名参与者，其中包括 1,274 名医生和1,886 名律师； 1976-1982 年 CPS 调查有 414,989 名参与者，其中包括 2,033 名卫生专业人员。 测量：使用多元逻辑回归模型将 1996-2002 年国会和总统选举中调整后的医生投票率与律师和普通民众的投票率进行比较，并将 1996-2002 年卫生专业人员的投票率与 1976-1992 年进行比较。 结果：对已知与投票率相关的特征进行多变量调整后，1998 年（优势比 0.76；95% 置信区间 [CI] 0.59-0.99）、2000 年（优势比 0.64；95% CI 0.44-0.93）和 2002 年（优势比 0.62；95%），医生投票的可能性低于一般人群CI 0.48-0.80），但不是 1996 年（比值比 0.83；95% CI 0.59-1.17）。在所有四次选举中，律师的投票率都高于普通民众和医生（P
Background: Organizational leaders and scholars have issued calls for the medical profession to refocus its efforts on fulfilling the core tenets of professionalism. A key element of professionalism is participation in community affairs.Objective: To measure physician voting rates as an indicator of civic participation.Design: Cross-sectional survey of a subgroup of physicians from a nationally representative household survey of civilian, noninstitutionalized adult citizens.Participants: A total of 350,870 participants in the Current Population Survey (CPS) November Voter Supplement from 1996-2002, including 1,274 physicians and 1,886 lawyers; 414,989 participants in the CPS survey from 1976-1982, including 2,033 health professionals.Measurements: Multivariate logistic regression models were used to compare adjusted physician voting rates in the 1996-2002 congressional and presidential elections with those of lawyers and the general population and to compare voting rates of health professionals in 1996-2002 with those in 1976-1992.Results: After multivariate adjustment for characteristics known to be associated with voting rates, physicians were less likely to vote than the general population in 1998 (odds ratio 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.59-0.99), 2000 (odds ratio 0.64; 95% CI 0.44-0.93), and 2002 (odds ratio 0.62; 95% CI 0.48-0.80) but not 1996 (odds ratio 0.83; 95% CI 0.59-1.17). Lawyers voted at higher rates than the general population and doctors in all four elections (P
