The present report attempts such an estimation based on longevity and growth in staff members of a fairly large proportion of existing groups.The sample from which Dr. Goldstein's information was derived was 98 medical groups in existence during 1947. The field work was conducted by members of the United States Public Health Service on routine duty who visited certain selected groups along their route of travel.
