Abstract: Between June 1, 1980 and May 31, 1981, The Vermont Health Department telephoned a randomly chosen half of the state's primary care offices for surveillance reports of hepatitis, measles, rubella, and salmonellosis. No reports were activity solicited from the other half of the primary-care practices in the state. Active-surveillance units made more reports and more complete reports of diseases and had twice the number of reports per patient seen by the practice than did passive-surveillance units.
