A socio-economic study of 1097 people was carried out between November and December 1979. Demographic data and other health characteristics were obtained by census of the entire study population. Interviews covered disease awareness, perceived morbidity, health-care utilization, knowledge, attitudes and practices; all adults aged 15 years and above were interviewed 2 weeks before physical examinations were made. Age and literacy level were found to have no effect on the people's health-seeking behaviour in Kabinga. The results of this social survey failed to reveal the real practices of the community's use of both ethno-medicine and biomedicine.
1979年11月至12月期间，对1097人进行了一项社会经济研究。通过对整个研究人群进行普查，获取了人口统计数据和其他健康特征。访谈内容包括疾病认知、感知发病率、医疗保健利用情况、知识、态度和行为；所有15岁及以上的成年人在进行体格检查前两周接受了访谈。研究发现，年龄和识字水平对卡宾加地区人们的求医行为没有影响。这项社会调查的结果未能揭示该社区使用民族医学和生物医学的实际情况。
