Abstract

In an effort to better understand the factors associated with college persistence and attrition, the Survey Research Center at Princeton University, with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is conducting the College Student Attrition Project. As part of that project, Mathematica Policy Research conducted the College Experiences Survey. The sample frame included the undergraduate entering classes of 1999 from the University of Florida at Gainesville, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Stony Brook University, including all those who later graduated, transferred, or dropped out. The data collection used a mixed-mode approach consisting of a web-based questionnaire with telephone followup. This report summarizes the College Experiences Survey data collection procedures and the results that were obtained. Appended are: (1) Detailed Distribution of Sample; (2) Data Collection Materials; (3) College Experiences Survey Annotated; and (4) Data Documentation Memo. (Contains 4 tables and 2 footnotes.)

Abstract

Rationale This article proposes a systems level conceptualization of physician professionalism that is embedded in and results from the characteristics of the organizations in which doctors work such as hospitals, group practices and physician organizations. Aims and objectives The goal of this study was to develop and test the systems model of professionalism. Methods In total, 25 interviews were conducted in Minneapolis and Miami. Job titles of the subjects included hospital presidents, medical directors, chairs of hospital departments, quality and safety directors, chief of quality improvement and practising physicians. The data from the interviews were coded and then sorted by members of the study team into major and minor themes. Results Virtually, all of the subjects were readily able to confirm aspects of the model by providing real-life examples of factors at the practice, hospital and market levels that they believed strongly influenced the extent to which physicians adhere, or fail to adhere, to the professional norms. Conclusions The systems model of professionalism was consistent with the views and experiences of physicians and administrators in two different geographic regions of the USA. If born out by further research, this model has implications for interventions aimed at improving professionalism as well as for professionalism as a field of study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
