This paper shows how small area census data can be used to estimate the socio-demographic characteristics of GP practices. It provides information on the likely accuracy of the technique by applying it to estimates of the proportion of elderly patients within a practice (a statistic known from other sources) and produces evidence which suggests that the method is most successful where practices serve a high proportion of patients within their catchment.
本文展示了如何利用小区域人口普查数据来估计全科医生诊所的社会人口特征。通过将该技术应用于估计诊所内老年患者的比例（这是一个从其他来源已知的统计数据），它提供了有关该技术可能准确性的信息，并产生了证据表明，在诊所服务的患者占其服务区域高比例的情况下，该方法最为成功。
