UNDERSTANDING BRITISH COLUMBIANS EXPERIENCES WITH PRIMARY HEALTH CARE: DEVELOPING A SECTOR-SPECIFIC SURVEY

UBC Centre for Health Services and Policy Research, Vancouver (BC) (2007)
Report
Abstract

The report describes work underway at CHSPR to develop and validate a sector-specific survey regarding adults' experiences with primary health care (PHC) in the province. The resulting survey measures dimensions (or aspects) of PHC identified as priorities through focus groups held with patients across the province, a review of relevant scientific literature, and input from government stakeholders. Understanding British Columbians' Experiences with PHC lays out broad findings based on survey development and validation—a more detailed analysis of the survey items, index and scales is available upon request.
