医疗社会研究所（原社区研究所医疗研究部）的工作的一个基本特点是，在其对医疗社会方面的研究中，考虑了病人和专业人员的观点。在过去16年中，我们接触了19个专业团体的样本，并邀请他们通过回答一些问题来参与我们的调查。它们的答复率从560%到99%不等。本文考虑了两个问题：什么因素会影响回复率，以及回复的专业人员在哪些方面可能是不真实的。
A basic feature of the work of the Institute for Social Studies in Medical Care (formerly the Medical Care Research Unit of the Institute of Community Studies) is that, in its studies of the social aspects of health care, viewpoints of both patients and professionals are considered. Over the past 16 years we have approached 19 samples of professional groups and asked them to participate in our surveys by answering some questions. Their response rates have varied from 560% to 99%. This paper considers two questions: what factors influence response rates and in what ways the responding professionals may be unrepre-sentative.
