An exploratory study using a health diary was made to inquire into health problems, illness behavior and social network of school children in a mountain village in Hyogo Prefecture. The study was also made to examine, from a methodological perspective, whether the use of a health diary for collecting health data was effective or not. Seventy four children (aged 10-12) kept a health diary for ten months starting in April 1992.The results of an analysis of their health diaries were as follows :1. Each Child had 1 problem episode per month on average.2. Accidental problems and problems related to respiratory system were among the most common problems.3. Forty one percent of the episodes took no form of medical action, and 20 percent of them visiting a nurse-teacher.4. A percentage of the episodes visiting a doctor or a dentist at least once in an episode was 8.5. A child consulted his/her mother most frequently about his/her health problem.6. Natural environment and events in school life were supposed to be closely related to occurrences of children's health problems.7. A health diary was supposed to be an effective method of inquiring into health problems and illness behavior of children.

采用健康日记对兵库县某山村学龄儿童的健康问题、患病行为和社会网络进行了探索性研究。这项研究还从方法论的角度考察了使用健康日记收集健康数据是否有效。从1992年4月开始，对74名10~12岁儿童进行了为期10个月的健康日记调查，分析结果如下：1.平均每个儿童每月有1次问题发作。意外问题和与呼吸系统有关的问题是最常见的问题。41%的人没有采取任何形式的医疗行动，其中20%的人去看护师。一集中至少去看一次医生或牙医的比例为8.5%。孩子向母亲咨询健康问题的频率最高。自然环境和学校生活事件被认为与儿童健康问题的发生密切相关。健康日记被认为是了解儿童健康问题和患病行为的有效方法。
