摘要

As in the past, this conference moved ahead on the continuum of methodologicalimprovements, adding to what is known and addressing new areas that had been featured briefly at previous conferences. The long-range objectives of the conference, as of its predecessors, were to improve the quality of health survey data and to enhance their value and use by policy makers responsible for shaping health practice, policy, and programs. Twenty-nine papers were selected from 150 submissions. The selected papers were divided into five sessions: 'Measuring Medical Care and Health Status' (six papers), 'Research on Survey Questions' (six papers), 'Sampling and Cooperation' (six papers), 'Special Populations and Sensitive Issues' (six papers), and 'Integrating Survey sand Other Data' (five papers).
