A longitudinal community health study was commenced in a neighborhood of western Jerusalem in 1969. Its main aims were the investigation of etiologic factors in selected common diseases and disabilities, the development and testing of epidemiologic tools for use in community diagnosis, the provision of a factual basis for decisions concerning community health care for the population studied, and the use of the findings in an evaluation of the effectiveness of community health care. In the first round, 90% of residents 25 or more years old were interviewed and 81% were examined. Among children under 15 years of age, the corresponding rates were 94 and 83%. Response was low among persons in the age range 15 to 24 years, especially males. People who were concerned about their health were readier to be examined. Response was not related to region of birth, education or other variables. The possible bias introduced by nonresponse appeared to be small except in the age group 15 to 24 years.
1969年，在耶路撒冷西部的一个社区开展了一项纵向社区健康研究。其主要目的是调查某些常见疾病和残疾的病因，开发和测试用于社区诊断的流行病学工具，为有关所研究人群的社区医疗保健决策提供事实依据，并利用研究结果评估社区医疗保健的效果。在第一轮研究中，对90%年龄在25岁及以上的居民进行了访谈，81%的居民接受了检查。在15岁以下的儿童中，相应的比例分别为94%和83%。15至24岁年龄段的人群，尤其是男性，回应率较低。关注自身健康的人更愿意接受检查。回应与出生地、教育程度或其他变量无关。除了15至24岁年龄组外，无回应可能带来的偏差似乎较小。
