Abstract

Disease surveillance systems constitute the foundation of appropriate health plans. Surveillance data collection components at best are dependent on a series of contingencies. In developing countries scattered static health centres may result in biased and practically unusable data. A system is here described for collecting data from a sample of persons chosen for their statistical representation of the entire population. Monthly interviews can provide both prevalence and incidence data at low cost using paramedical personnel. Continuing work in this area could provide developing countries with alternative methods of defining their population-nutrition-communicable disease problems.

摘要

疾病监测系统是制定合理卫生计划的基础。监测数据收集环节充其量依赖于一系列偶然因素。在发展中国家，分散的静态卫生中心可能导致数据有偏差且实际上无法使用。本文描述了一种从被选作能代表整个人口统计特征的人群样本中收集数据的系统。每月进行访谈，利用辅助医务人员以低成本提供患病率和发病率数据。在这一领域持续开展工作可为发展中国家提供界定其人口 - 营养 - 传染病问题的替代方法。
