A follow-up study was conducted at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas to document the changes in the geographic distribution of family/general practitioners and other medical specialists in Texas between 1973 and 1980. Results of the analysis suggest that more physicians are choosing to locate in sparsely populated areas of the state. This trend is a reversal of the pattern established in an earlier study and seems to indicate an improvement in the access to medical care for residents of small communities in Texas.
德克萨斯大学西南医学中心在达拉斯开展了一项跟踪研究，以记录1973年至1980年间德克萨斯州家庭医生/全科医生及其他医学专科医生地理分布的变化。分析结果表明，越来越多的医生选择在该州人口稀少的地区执业。这一趋势与早期研究确立的模式相反，似乎表明德克萨斯州小社区居民获得医疗服务的情况有所改善。
