Abstract
A high rate of patient follow-up in epidemiology studies is dependent upon the awareness of existence of a variety of resources, trained personnel and tenacity. Mass follow-up technics differ from those applicable to locating small populations. Mobility is a major cause for loss of persons. Men are easier to locate than married women because their names usually appear as head of households in published lists.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
