Identifying potential family practice social work opportunities.
The results of a survey of private primary care family physicians relative to their interest in having social workers associated with their practices are reported. There are several family physician and practice setting variables associated with a positive response to the question of whether family physicians have or would like to have a social worker associated with their practice. These findings should be beneficial to social workers interested in becoming established in family practice. Implications of these factors are discussed.
