艾奇逊报告的结论是,英格兰和威尔士的传染病通报程序并不令人满意,并建议对其进行审查。1然而,任何通报制度的成功将取决于全科医生的知识和动机,负责处理大部分传染病呈报个案。在克罗伊登对全科医生进行了广泛的电话调查,以评估他们对法定通知清单上的疾病的认识水平。调查亦征询受访者对目前疾病清单的意见,结果显示,受访者对某些较常见疾病的认识程度普遍较高,而对某些较常见疾病的认识则相对较少。知识上的差异与性别、获得医生资格的时间长短或特定实践中的伴侣数量无关。动机可能是造成目前通知不完整的一个特别重要的因素。很大一部分医生说,军团菌病、艾滋病、布鲁菌病和马立克氏病应依法通报。
The Acheson Report concluded that the process of infectious disease notification in England and Wales was unsatisfactory and recommended that it should be reviewed.1 However, the success of any notification system will depend on the knowledge and motivation of general practitioners, who are responsible for a large proportion of infectious disease notifications.A district-wide telephone survey was conducted in Croydon among general practitioners to assess the level of awareness of which diseases are on the statutory notification list. Respondents' opinions were also sought on the composition of the present list.Results indicated that a generally high level of awareness contrasted with a relative paucity in knowledge of certain of the more common diseases. Differences in knowledge were not associated with the sex, the length of time since the doctor qualified or the number of partners in the particular practice. Motivation may be a particularly important factor underlying the present incompleteness of notifications. A large proportion of doctors stated that legionellosis, AIDS, brucellosis and listeriosis merited statutory notification.
