title: Acceptability of health status questionnaire screening and vaccination among Kosovar refugees.
abstract: During 1999, following the war in Kosovo, thousands of Kosovar refugees were received by different countries. The public health reception protocols for these refugees varied widely between and within reception countries. We surveyed a group of Kosovar refugees received in Bolton to assess the acceptability of vaccination and health status questionnaire screening. We also examined the refugees' opinions about the confidentiality of their medical history and their willingness to take part in research. Fifteen out of 29 people responded. Most respondents were happy with the interventions.
