Improving family care. Interaction between general practice and primary school.
Members of families in difficulties may present to general practitioners with somatic complaints and their children may refuse to go to school. Greater communication between school and practice would provide earlier identification of troubled families. This study, conducted in a country town in Victoria in 1988, showed that teachers would welcome more contact with general practitioners.
