Abstract

In this paper I compare the methodology of two of the most famous epidemiological studies: The Midtown Manhattan Study (1952-60) and the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study (1980-5). At first sight, there are few features that distinguish them; both were studies of large samples of the general population; they both used highly sophisticated methods of data analysis and standardized instruments; and they involved interviewers who were not professional clinicians. However, if we carefully compare the protocols that define how 'clinical' information is collected, we realize that some important changes in methodology were not only due to practical necessities, but also involved an important transformation in the role of the interviewer and the skills traditionally associated with the clinician.

从曼哈顿中城研究到流行病学集聚区研究:精神病学中机械客观性的出现。
在本文中,我比较了两项最著名的流行病学研究的方法:曼哈顿中城研究(1952-60 年)和流行病学集聚区研究(1980-5 年)。乍一看,这两项研究几乎没有什么不同之处:它们都是对普通人群进行的大样本研究;它们都使用了非常复杂的数据分析方法和标准化工具;它们的访谈者都不是专业的临床医生。然而,如果我们仔细比较一下界定如何收集 "临床 "信息的规程,就会发现方法上的一些重要变化不仅是出于实际需要,而且还涉及到访谈者角色和传统上与临床医生相关的技能的重要转变。
