Telephone interviews utilizing random digit dialing were conducted in Los Angeles County to assess the public's knowledge of differences between ophthalmologists and optometrists and to determine factors predictive of knowledge status. Knowledge status was determined by performance on a questionnaire specifically designed for this study. Using multiple logistic regression analysis for simultaneous evaluation of potentially predictive factors, higher education, history of prior eye examination as an adult, and history of prior or present contact lens or spectacle wear were associated with scoring as knowledgeable. Predicted probabilities of being knowledgeable and not knowledgeable were presented for all combinations of these predictive variables. Such information may be helpful in guiding public education campaigns regarding eye care.
在洛杉矶县进行了随机数字拨号电话访谈，以评估公众对眼科医生和验光师差异的了解，并确定预测知识水平的因素。知识水平通过专门为本研究设计的问卷表现来确定。使用多元逻辑回归分析同时评估潜在的预测因素，高等教育、成年后有过眼部检查史以及有过或目前佩戴隐形眼镜或眼镜的历史与知识水平得分相关。针对这些预测变量的所有组合呈现了知识渊博和知识不足的预测概率。这些信息可能有助于指导有关眼部护理的公众教育活动。
