Sampling issues in a regional pediatric practice-based network.

Abstract

This paper explores various approaches to achieving representative and generalizable practice-based data. The data used were derived from original research conducted by the Pediatric Practice Research Group (PPRG), a research consortium including full-time staff at Children's Memorial Hospital and 132 practitioners in 35 Chicago-area practices in a variety of settings ranging from Chicago's inner city to rural northwest Indiana. Sampling issues addressed include sampling frame, source (population or practice), geographical representation, seasonal representation, survey instrument design, socioeconomic diversity, and contact and response rates.

Malaria in multiple family members--Chicago, Illinois, 2006.

Human malaria is a parasitic disease transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Most malaria cases in the United States occur in travelers who recently visited areas where malaria is endemic without taking adequate chemoprophylaxis. This report describes five cases of Plasmodium falciparum malaria that occurred in a family residing near Chicago, Illinois, during 2006. These cases underscore the importance of malaria-prevention measures (e.g., avoidance of mosquito bites and appropriate chemoprophylaxis) for travelers to malaria-endemic areas.
