Abstract
|
|
|
This research was done to gain the health information in one of the target areas (rural area) of the Korea University Community Health Project, and to improve and standardize the methodology of the health interview survey.
There were two types of questions one was the simple open-ended question and the other was check list in the interview survey for a total of 1,406 inhabitants.
And so the result obtained from the above survey was analyzed.
The results as follows;
1) The morbidity rate in general was 11.2% by simple open-ended question and 32.5% by check list during recent 20 days in interview method.
2) Women had higher morbidity rate in both kinds of method.
3) The most prevalent diseases in the interview method using check list were the ones of the muscle- skeletal system and connective tissue (22.5%), and diseases of the respiratory system (19.8%) and digestive system (13.7%) were in order of frequency.
4) By the position in the family, housewives had highest morbidity rate in the interview method unrespectedly, and the reason seemed that the respondents were housewives themselves and the morbidity rate was the one by spell not by person.
But morbidity rate by the socio economic status had no significant difference in both methods.
5) The agreement rate on simple open-ended question and check list was 72.5%, but if limiting respondents themselves only, the rate was failed to 54%.
6) The morbidities were diverse in the review of the results of previous morbidity surveys, but the morbidity rate was higher and less variable in case of using check list and getting the replies individually than using simple open-ended question and proxy respondents.
