As part of an analysis of health care for children in special education programs, physician familiarity with the educational status and program enrollment of their disabled patients was examined. Telephone interviews were performed with a random sample of 411 of the children's physicians. The majority (70%) of the physicians interviewed professed no knowledge of their patients' current special educational program. Certain physician, child, and family characteristics were associated with physician awareness of the children's programs. These were physician specialty, physician gender, child's disability, and severity of the child's problem. This study suggests that, although some physicians of very involved patients do familiarize themselves with their patients' day-to-day school life, many other physicians are poorly informed about the school activities and functional status of their young patients with disabilities. Better mechanisms are needed to ensure physicians' understanding of these aspects of child health.
作为对特殊教育项目中儿童医疗保健分析的一部分，研究了医生对其残疾患者教育状况和项目入学情况的熟悉程度。对411名儿童医生进行了随机抽样电话访谈。接受访谈的大多数医生（70%）表示对其患者当前的特殊教育项目一无所知。某些医生、儿童和家庭特征与医生对儿童项目的了解程度有关。这些特征包括医生专业、医生性别、儿童残疾情况以及儿童问题的严重程度。这项研究表明，尽管一些深度参与患者治疗的医生确实会了解患者的日常学校生活，但许多其他医生对其年幼残疾患者的学校活动和功能状况了解甚少。需要更好的机制来确保医生了解儿童健康的这些方面。
