| Annotation | Only a small proportion of health problems result in contact with health care professionals in primary care. Consequently, small changes in the population's health care seeking behaviour, or in the accessibility of a service, can produce a large change in workload. The findings of the reviews reported here are in the context of work undertaken in the NPCRDC (National Primary Care Research and Development Centre) programme on Population Health Need and Demand for Primary Care. This summary report is on the first phase of a feasibility study, its objectives being to identify factors shaping the relationship between health need, demand for, and use of primary health care; and to determine the extent to which detailed information on the relationship between illness experience and demand for health care can be provided by or enhancing existing surveys, or conducting a new survey. This report reviews existing health surveys and longitudinal studies. Exploratory work on the design of a panel survey highlighted areas requiring further methodological investigation. |
