Over the last 20 years, medical schools in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania have been developing teaching programs in community health which have placed increasing emphasis on community diagnosis. This process, which involves students, health workers and the community, is a team effort to obtain a wide variety of information using epidemiologic methods and to establish priorities for health action. The programs which are developed following community diagnosis often rely on primary health workers and small health centers for their execution. Experience in community diagnosis is an important element in the training of health workers. Such experience is also an excellent means of teaching the management skills that are essential for operating primary health care programs. This paper traces the evolution of the methods of community diagnosis used in East Africa.
在过去20年里，乌干达、肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚的医学院一直在开发社区卫生教学项目，这些项目越来越重视社区诊断。这个过程涉及学生、卫生工作者和社区，是一项团队工作，旨在使用流行病学方法获取各种各样的信息，并确定卫生行动的优先事项。根据社区诊断制定的项目在实施时通常依靠初级卫生工作者和小型卫生中心。社区诊断经验是卫生工作者培训中的一个重要因素。这种经验也是教授运营初级卫生保健项目所必需的管理技能的绝佳方式。本文追溯了东非社区诊断方法的演变。
