There is a shortage of data to inform policy debates about the quickly changing health care system. This paper describes Healthcare for Communities (HCC), a component of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Health Tracking Initiative that was designed to fill this gap for alcohol, drug abuse, and mental health care. HCC bridges clinical perspectives and economic/policy research approaches, links data at market, service delivery, and individual levels, and features a household survey of nearly 9,600 individuals with an employer follow-back survey. Public use files will be available in late 1999.
目前缺乏数据来为有关快速变化的医疗保健系统的政策辩论提供信息。本文介绍了社区医疗保健（HCC），这是罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会健康追踪倡议的一个组成部分，旨在填补酒精、药物滥用和精神卫生保健方面的数据空白。HCC将临床观点与经济/政策研究方法相结合，在市场、服务提供和个人层面上连接数据，并开展了一项针对近9600人的家庭调查以及一项雇主跟踪回访调查。公共使用文件将于1999年末提供。
