A research project funded by the Commonwealth Caribbean Medical Research Council (CCMRC) began in February 1987, to study aspects of the situation in connection with 508 Community Health Aides (CHAs) employed in the Government Service of Jamaica. There were in the service 1,328 CHAs in 1978, reduced to 1,183 in 1982 and to 1,168 in 1984. By 1985/86 the numbers were further reduced, reaching the low figure of 508. This report deals specifically with the responses of 615 members of the community who were interviewed, and questionnaires were returned from all parishes in the four Administrative Health areas in Jamaica. The responses from community members are very important in the assessment of community health aides as members of the community health team. A number of useful and practical suggestions were reflected in their responses regarding service from community health aides.
由英联邦加勒比医学研究委员会（CCMRC）资助的一个研究项目于1987年2月启动，旨在研究牙买加政府部门雇佣的508名社区卫生助理（CHA）的相关情况。1978年该部门有1328名社区卫生助理，1982年减少到1183名，1984年又降至1168名。到1985/86年度，人数进一步减少，降至508这一低水平。本报告专门论述了接受访谈的615名社区成员的反馈，调查问卷来自牙买加四个行政区卫生区域的所有教区。社区成员的反馈对于评估作为社区卫生团队成员的社区卫生助理非常重要。他们关于社区卫生助理服务的反馈中反映出了一些有用且切实可行的建议。
