Matriculants' Compliance with a Required Preventive Health Program.

Herold, Arthur H.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v67 n6 p403-05 Jun 1992

Evaluation of the University of South Florida Medical School's new (1990) preventive health requirements for matriculants showed that expensive requirements had the lowest rate of compliance and inexpensive ones, the highest rates. Enforcement measures significantly improved compliance. Cost was seen as a major deterrent to compliance. (Author/DB)
