A survey of 255 family physicians and general practitioners in the Hamilton-Wentworth area, revealed that knowledge of social services and community treatment programs was often poor: 65% of 122 respondents did not know about one or more points of access to social services information, and 26% reported that they knew of appropriate social services for less than half of 13 psychosocial problems commonly encountered in family practice. Although 43% indicated that they preferred to treat patients themselves, 47% agreed that lack of information precluded referral, and 75% agreed that opportunities to increase their knowledge of community services would be helpful.
对汉密尔顿-温特沃斯地区的 255 名家庭医生和全科医生进行的调查显示,他们对社会服务和社区治疗项目的了解往往很差:在 122 名回答者中,有 65%不知道一个或多个获取社会服务信息的途径,26%的人表示,他们只知道适合家庭实践中常见的 13 种心理社会问题的不到一半的适当社会服务。尽管 43%的人表示他们更愿意自己治疗患者,但 47%的人同意缺乏信息会阻碍转介,75%的人同意增加他们对社区服务的了解的机会将是有益的。
