THE VALUE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SURVEY IN THE PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGN

The value of a public health survey depends as much on the community as on the survey itself. Its benefits lie largely in the follow-up. The survey is a powerful agent in stimulating public interest, diffusing knowledge and defining the health status. Like the physical examination of individuals the survey should be a regular function.

They have fields in prenatal work, the preschool age, in school inspection and follow-up and in the industries. Their duties begin with conception and end with the grave.
