Matches in Harvard for { ?s ?p These surveys were designed to evaluate group medical practices and the ways in which they affect both access to and use of medical services. Group practices sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Community Hospital Program were selected for use in this study. The data were originally collected by the Center for Health Administration Studies at the University of Chicago, with the assistance of Chilton Research Services. Two surveys were conducted for the study, a baseline survey in 1978-1979, and a follow-up in 1981. Community residents and CHP patients in twelve communities were interviewed. Demographic and medical care data were collected for selected individuals and families in the survey areas. Data on regular sources of medical care for individuals include the type of organization used, type of practice, accessibility, frequency of visits, types of health care professionals seen, cost, and satisfaction. Also in the collection are data on perceived health, episodes of illness (including symptoms, duration, disability days, and doctors consulted), use of preventive health care services, and insurance coverage. Demographic data for individuals and families include age, sex, race, educational attainment, employment, and income. There are four basic types of data files: data on doctors and episodes of illness, basic information on individual survey respondents, analytic files which link major analysis variables from the individual survey with doctor files (used in the analyses reported in Aday, et al., 1983), and data on family members. There are SPSS frequency files corresponding to each raw data file.. }
