Volunteers from a resident health committee in an apartment complex community carried out door-to-door blood pressure screening of residents. Their results were compared with those from a community where a resident health committee conducted central site screenings and with those of a community where nonresident researchers manned a central screening site. Door-to-door screening by community volunteers was significantly more effective than the two central site screening methods which did not differ from each other. Follow-up measures increased the number of hypertensives who reported seeking treatment by 100 per cent.
公寓小区社区居民健康委员会的志愿者对居民进行了上门血压筛查。他们的结果与居民健康委员会进行集中场地筛查的社区以及非居民研究人员负责集中筛查场地的社区的结果进行了比较。社区志愿者上门筛查比另外两种彼此无差异的集中场地筛查方法显著更有效。后续措施使报告寻求治疗的高血压患者数量增加了100%。
