[Study on physicians' conditions in Norway]

In 1992, the Norwegian Medical Association started a comprehensive research program on physician health and welfare. More than 30 studies are planned to be performed in a three year period, based on a variety of data-sets and methodologies. The core of the program is the 1993 questionnaire survey to 9,266 active Norwegian physicians. One questionnaire was common, the three others were randomly distributed among all the recipients. The purpose of this design was to increase the potential of multivariate models in the analysis. The first findings are now being published.
