Travelers visiting friends and relatives (VFR) have low rates of pre-travel health encounters. In 2006 in the Bronx, New York, a convenience sample of 129 families originating in malaria-endemic countries and presenting for a routine pediatric outpatient evaluation completed a standardized questionnaire regarding future travel plans to their country of origin. Pro-active screening for intended travel activities can identify future VFR travelers and ascertain potentially high-risk itineraries, thereby enabling education regarding the importance of accessing competent pre-travel medicine services.
旅行者探亲访友（VFR）的旅行前健康咨询率较低。2006 年，在纽约布朗克斯区，对 129 个来自疟疾流行国家的家庭进行了一项便利抽样调查，这些家庭因常规儿科门诊评估而就诊，他们完成了一份关于未来返回原籍国旅行计划的标准化问卷。主动筛查旅行意向可以发现未来的 VFR 旅行者，并确定潜在的高风险行程，从而教育他们获得有能力的旅行前医疗服务的重要性。
