Between 1985 and 1987 a total of 103 modern and 91 traditional medical practitioners were interviewed in seven towns in northwestern and central Ethiopia. The main aim was to assess their attitudes toward the legitimacy of each other's medical system and, especially, toward the question of cooperation or integration between modern and traditional medicine. It was found that the majority of the two groups of health workers believed that cooperation between the two systems of medicine would be useful and that they themselves would be willing to participate in such cooperative efforts. Those willing to cooperate suggested that traditional healers be (1) brought into the existing, official health-care settings, (2) given regular government wages for their services, and (3) guided and supervised by their modern counterparts.
1985年至1987年间，在埃塞俄比亚西北部和中部的7个城镇，共采访了103名现代医学从业者和91名传统医学从业者。主要目的是评估他们对彼此医疗体系合法性的态度，尤其是对现代医学与传统医学合作或整合问题的态度。结果发现，这两组卫生工作者中的大多数人认为，两种医学体系之间的合作会有益处，而且他们自己也愿意参与这种合作努力。那些愿意合作的人建议，传统治疗师应（1）被纳入现有的官方医疗保健机构，（2）因其服务获得政府定期发放的工资，以及（3）由现代医学同行进行指导和监督。
