MASSNET:

Enrollment Overview

After one mailing of an enrollment packet to each of the approximately 700 active members of MAFP in the spring of 2002, we enrolled 120 family physicians from the state of Massachusetts and the surrounding area. Our first survey, the Genetic Susceptibility Survey, mailed to all the MAFP members at that time, received a response from 300 family physicians.
