    Author: Karlsen KB, Graff-Iversen S, Knapskog AB.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1994 Nov 30; 114(29):3427-30. PubMed ID: 7998045.
    Abstract:
    After a health survey of men and women aged 40-42 in Telemark county in 1992, a total of 539 persons were recommended to consult their general practitioner. The physicians returned survey cards for 322 persons, 60% of those recommended, to the National Health Screening Service. A total of 282 persons had consulted the doctor. Non-pharmacological treatment was offered to 93% of the men and 78% of the women. About 10% had either a new diagnosis, a new medication, or were referred to a hospital or an out-patient clinic. The lack of returned survey cards for 40% of the persons who were recommended a consultation is a challenge for the National Health Screening Service to improve communication with general practitioners.
