方法。为了估计中耳炎的非医疗费用，我们采访了300名14岁以下儿童的父母，他们在1997年8月至11月的某个时间进行了中耳炎相关的就诊，两周后。这些孩子参加了凯撒永久医疗保健计划，这是一个团体模式，非营利健康维护组织（HMO），为北加州约280万成员提供全面的医疗保健。访谈以英语或西班牙语进行，获取了从访问前一周到访谈期间，成年家庭成员为照顾孩子而错过的工作，以及日托所错过的天数、额外的保姆和旅行相关费用等其他费用的信息。
Methods.To estimate the nonmedical costs of otitis media, we interviewed the parents of 300 children younger than 14 years old, 2 weeks after they had made an otitis-related visit sometime during August to November, 1997. The children were enrolled in the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, a group model, nonprofit health maintenance organization (HMO) providing comprehensive medical care to approximately 2.8 million members in Northern California. The interview, conducted in English or Spanish, obtained information on work missed by adult family members to care for the child from the week before the visit until the interview and on other costs such as days missed from day care, extra babysitting and travel-related expenses.
