We conducted a medical records survey of 270 randomly selected patients 20 years of age or older seen by family practice residents in a university-based training program. This study concerned residents’ compliance with certain preventive recommendations made by four expert groups: the American Cancer Society, the Canadian Task Force on the Periodic Health Examination, the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee, and the National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference on treating elevated cholesterol. The interventions studied were breast examination, mammography, pelvic examination, Pap testing, digital rectal examination, stool guaiac slide testing, serum cholesterol screening, and pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations. We calculated the percentage of eligible patients receiving each of these interventions. The highest rates of resident compliance with health screening recommendations were for Pap testing in women 20-34 and 35-59 years of age (31.7% and 22.6%, respectively), breast examination in women 20-39 years of age (27.3%), and influenza vaccination (23.0%). There were no other rates of compliance that exceeded 20%. Our data thus indicate that residents in this program did not comply well with health maintenance recommendations.
