The 227 students offered places in the 1988 medical student intake at the University of Queensland were surveyed regarding their demographic characteristics. This was correlated with the students' subsequent performance and persistence during the first year of the medical course. Coming from a lower socioeconomic background and having family problems were both associated with either a decreased academic performance or an increased attrition rate. The results are discussed, relevant literature is reviewed and suggestions for further research are made.
对1988年昆士兰大学医学院录取的227名学生的人口统计学特征进行了调查。这与这些学生在医学课程第一年的后续表现和坚持情况相关。来自较低社会经济背景以及存在家庭问题均与学业成绩下降或退学率上升有关。对结果进行了讨论，回顾了相关文献，并提出了进一步研究的建议。
