This paper describes some methods used to improve the response rates in a survey on "stress in general practice since the new contract", and it discusses some of the literature on this problem. The methodology is a detailed account of steps taken to improve the presentation to the general practitioner (GP) in the letter, the forms and postal procedures that accompany the questionnaire, so as to focus the doctor's attention. The changes made in the reminder attempts are explained and the results noted. It is argued that it is important to attempt to improve rates to make the survey as meaningful as possible. These methods may be of particular use in primary care research.
本文描述了一些用于提高一项关于“新合同实施后全科医疗中的压力”调查的回复率的方法，并讨论了关于这个问题的一些文献。该方法详细说明了为改进给全科医生（GP）的信件、随调查问卷附带的表格和邮寄程序中的呈现方式所采取的步骤，以便吸引医生的注意力。解释了在催复尝试中所做的改变并记录了结果。有人认为，努力提高回复率以使调查尽可能有意义是很重要的。这些方法可能在初级保健研究中特别有用。
