UnitedStates4970

From information collected in a national survey of podiatrists conducted

by the National Center for Health Statistics, statistics are presented

describing the clinical practice of podiatry in the United Statesin 1970.

, Patient-care activity is described in terms of its volume and its nature.

Indicators of volume are number of hours per week spent in patient care,

number of patient visits, actual number of patients seen a week, and

number of full-time and part-time helpers employed. Indicators of the

nature of clinical activity are the practitioner’s primary and secondary

clinical specialties, range and types of clinical services rendered, and clinical

setting (such as office, hospital, and nursing home) in which services were

rendered.

PODIATRY MANPOWER:

CHARACTERISTICS OF CLINICAL PRACTICE

Hugo K. Koch and Hazel M. Phillips, Division of Health Resources Statistics

INTRODUCTION

This report, on the clinicaI practice of podiatry, is the second in a series of reports on

podiatric activity in the United States in 1970.

Statistics reported here are chiefly the product

of a national survey of podiatrists conducted by

the National Center for Health Statistics with

the cooperation of the American Podiatry Association during the period January-March 1970.

The survey was conducted by a self-administered

questionnaire that was mailed to all licensed

podiatrists in the United States. (A facsimile of

the questionnaire is shown as appendix III.)

The professional population that forms the

statistical base for this analysis is the 7,078

podiatrists who were “clinically active” in the

practice of their profession. A podiatrist designated clinically active is one who devotes some

part of his weekly professional effort–however

small-to the direct diagnosis and treatment of

podiatric patients. The figure 7,078 is itseIf an

estimate, reflecting the application of a statistical adjustment designed to compensate for

various types of nonrespqnse to the survey (see

appendix I). This figure represents a good

approximation of the actual number of podiatrists who were engaged in caring for podiatric

patients at the time of the survey in 1970.

The first report of the series, “Podiatry

Manpower: A General Profile,” presents a statistical perspective of the national resource in

podiatrists who were active and inactive in their

profession at the time of the survey.’ A third

report will focus on the podiatric patient and

will describe these patients statistically from

information supplied by the podiatrists who

treated them at the time of the 1970 survey.

The present report, supported by 22 detailed

tables, is composed of the following parts:

1. A general demographic and professiomd

profile of the overalI podiatrist population

in 1970—areview of the first report.

2. Characteristics of clinical practice, including

a. General features (tables 1-3).

b. Volume of clinical activity in terms of

Hours per week devoted to patient

care (tables 4-6).

Number of patient visits per week

(tables 7-9).

Number of patients seen per week

(tables 10-12).

Number of full-time and part-time

helpers employed to assistin practice

(tahes 14-19).

survey responses, especially the various adjustments applied to the raw data to compensate for

nonresponse. Definitions of terms used in the

report appear in appendix II. Appendix III is a

mailed to all licensed podiatrists in the United

States.

THE PODIATRIST IN PROFILE

The following are selected findings from the

first report on podiatry manpower (see footnote

a).

1. There were an estimated 8,017 podiatrists

active and inactive in their profession at the time

of the 1970 survey. Of these, 7,113 (or about 89

percent) were actively engaged in professional

podiatric activities, clinical and nonclinical.

2. About 11 percent of the total (904) were

inactive in their profession, 370 by reason of

retirement and 533 for other reasons. The

relatively large proportion that was inactive but

not retired (about 7 percent) suggested an

existing resource in professional podiatric skills

that was not being fully exploited.

3. Characteristics of the 7,113 podiatrists

active in their profession in 1970 are as follows:

. The national ratio of active podiatrists

to population was about 3.5 podiatrists

per 100,000 population.

● po&t&.s tended to concentrate in

areas of the greatest population density.

Five States–New York, California,

Penns yIvania, IHinois, and Ohio–

accounted for more than one-half of the

total number of active podiatrists.

. Regionally, the Northeast had the

highest concentration of active podiatrists (6.1 per 100,000 population); the

South had the lowest (1.6 per 100,000).

. About 96 percent of active podiatrists

were male.

. Median age was about 51 years; median

number of years active in podiatry was

about 21.

. About 94 percent were self-employed.

. A substantial majority (about 85

percent) were engaged in scdo practice.

. About 69 percent held active licenses in

only one State.

. The median volume of time devoted to

all professional activities (by all practitioners, fulI-time and part-time) was 48

weeks per year or more and about 39

hours per week. A substantial 21 percent were in the part-time group who

devoted fewer than 35 hours per week

to podiatric activities. As already noted

for the nonretired inactives, this sL~ggested a considerable resource in podiatric skills that was not being fully

exploited.

● An analysis of nonclinical activities rcvetiled that about 31%percent of active

podiatrists devoted some time to teaching in colleges of podiatry; about 7

percent engaged to some degree in

podiatric research; and about 11 percent

were at least partiaIIy active in administrative duties other than those connected with the care of patients (e.g.,

podiatry associations and college

administration).

● More than 99 percent of all active

podiatrists engaged to some extent in

the dkect care of podiatric patients. It is

this clinical universe, an estimated 7,078

in number, that supplied the statistical

base for the tables and textual analysis

of the present report.

Clearly, podiatrists preferred the N%rtiieast-Region by a substantial margin. Within the regions,

podiatrists showed a distinct tendency to concentrate in, areas of the greatest population

density, especially in and around the larger

metropolitan areas. More than one-h,df of practitioners were to be found in the five States in

which most of the metropolitan areas were

located; together, these five States accounted for

35 percent of the total U.S. population.

Most podiatrists fell in the age group 45-54

years, with the median age located at 50.5 years.

A substantial majority of practitioners (about

69 percent) held an active license in only one

State. About 23 percent were licensed in two

States, while only about 8 percent reported

licensure by three States or more.

In terms of their principal form of employment, clinically active podiatrists showed the

Volume of Clinical Activity

Hours per week worked.–An analysis of the

hours per week that the practitioner devoted to

the direct care of patients, excluding the hours

that he spent in teaching, research, and other

nonclinical activities, revealed the following

Median hours per week spent in patient care in

all clinical settings was calculated to be 38.2

3
hours. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of

this distribution is that roughly one-third of all

practitioners reported less than 35 hours per

week of patient-care activity. The subdued

clinical effort of this relatively large group

functioned to depress the median experience for

all practitioners and suggests a potential for

treating podiatric patients that was not being

exploited in the Nation at the time of the

survey.

The relationships between hours spent in

patient care and other descriptors of the podiatrist and his activity were analyzed by determining for each category to be examined (e.g.,

age interval and number of patients) the proportion of practitioners in that category who

devoted 35 hours per week or more to patient

care. When this index of clinical volume was

determined for each of the census regions, the

f oIIo wing geogaphic distribution became

apparent:

South Region . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.6 74

West Region . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.0 69

No marked regional sensitivities are evident for

the three regions that reported the highest

concentrations of active podiatrists, i.e., the

Northeast, North Central, and West Regions.

The South, however, report ed a relatively

greater proportion of podiatrists who devoted a

weekly total of 35 hours or more to patient care

(almost 74 percent). Note that the South also

had the Iowest ratio of podiatrists to generaI

population. Assuming a need for podiatric services that was uniformly distributed throughout

the regions of the United States, thk might

mean that more Southern podiatrists were extending their patient-care effort to partially

compensate for their relative scarcity within”that

region.

As one might expect, the age of the practitioner hqd its effect on this index of clinical

volume. Note m the. following table that the

volume of activity peaked among podiatrists

aged 45-54 years (median age in the Nation was

about 51 years) and dropped markedly among

those 65 years and over.

Percent who

Age devoted 35 hours

or more per week

to patient care

There was a tendency for the female podiatrist to work a substantiality shorter cIinical week

than her male counterpart. OnIy about 43

percent of the 314 female podiatrists reported

that they devoted more than 35 hours per week

to patient care as opposed to about 71 percent

of the 6,764 male practitioners.

Applying this index of clinical volume to the

podiatrist’s principal form of employment

produced the following result:

The typical ‘self-employed podiatrist tended to

devote more time to patient care than did his

salaried colleagues; and among the selfemployed, the largest proportions reporting 35

hours or more of patient-care activity were those

engaged in multiple-member forms of practice.

4
Patient uMs.-To determine clinical volume

by the rate of patient visits, survey respondents

were asked in item 19 of the questionnaire:

“Approximately how many patient visits did

you have last week? (Include office visits and

visits in other settings.)” A tabulation of the

natiomd experience for patient visits per week

reveals the following:

The national median for patient visits was 71

Hsh-e,>s- with hours per week devoted to patient

cm-e, the typical Southern podiatrist seemed to

be partially compensating for his relative scarcity in that region by demonstrating another

indication of greater clinical workload. In this

c~sc, the expanded workload amounted to about

nine visits per week more than the national

median experience.

FiLgye 1 shows the relationship between

patient visits per week and age of the

practitioner.

Clinical activity in terms of patient visits per

week is seen to peak at about 84 visits in the age

group 35-44 years and to decelerate with increasing tempo until, among podiatrists over 65

years,the median experience was about 39 visits

per week.

Figure 1. Median number of patient visits per week by age of

With a median experience of about 41 visits

per week, female podiatrists reported a clinical

workload substantially smaller than the 72 visits

per week reported by the typical male

practitioner.

The following table reveals the relation that

existed between this measure of clinical volume

and the principal form of practice engaged in by

self-employed podiatrists.

As in the case of hours per week devoted to

patient care, it is again evident that podiatrists

who engaged in the multiple-member forms of

practice experienced a clinical workload that

was higher than that, of solo practitioners.

Nationally, however, such podiatrists were in the

decided minority, with only 458 of their numbers practicing in partnerships and only 129

engaged in group practice. The estimated 6,063

solo practitioners (about 86 percent of the

national resource in podiatrists), with their

median experience of 70 visits per week, provided by far the greatest bulk of professional

service to podiatric patients in the United States

at the time of the survey.

Survey findings revealed a direct relationship

between number of patient visits and number of

hours per week spent in patient care. An

increase in the one was accompanied by a

roughly proportionate increase in the other

(figure 2).

Median experience of about 38 hours per

week devoted to patient care and 71 patient

visits suggests that the typical patient visit lasted

roughly one-half hour.

Patients seen.–To determine clinical volume

by the rate of patients seen per week, survey

respondents were asked to report the actual

number of patients represented by the number

of patient visits that they had experienced in the

preceding week. Patients with multiple visits

were to be counted onl;’ once.

Here, as with hours per week and patient visits,

the typical Southern podiatrist seemed to be

Clinical activity in terms of patients seen per

ytm-s und over, the median experience was about

36 patients per week.

With u median experience of about 39 patients seen per week, female podiatrists reported

a clinical workload that was ordy slightly more

than half the load of 65 patients per week

reported by the typical ma.Ie practitioner.

The following table reveals the relationship

The typical podiatrist who engaged in one of the

multiple-member forms of practice saw more

patients per week than did his colleague in solo

practice. Podiatrists who engaged in partnership

or group practice, however, were a decided

minority of the national total. It was the

estimated 6,063 solo practitioners, constituting

about 86 percent of the national resource in

podiatrists, who, with their median experience c

of 63 patients per week, provided by far the.

greatest bulk of professional service to podiatric

patients in the United States at the time of the

survey.

Median experiences of about 64 for the

number of patients seen per week and about 71

for the weekly number of patient visits suggest

that multiple patient visits during a single week

were relatively uncommon among typical

practitioners.

Number of assistants. –One of the most revealing indicators of the podiatrist’s cIinical

volume was the number of assistants that he

employed. The survey respondent was asked:

“In your principal form of employment,

. .

do Y70U

employ o~fice assistants other than podiatrists to

assist you? (Include receptionists, secretaries,

technical assistants, nurses, etc.)” (See question

16, appendix III.) He was asked to report the

number he employed and to specify whether he

employed these assistants on a full-time basis

(35 hours per week or more) or on a part-time

basis (less than 35 hours per week).

pmients seen per weak by number of assistants employed:

United States, 1970,

About 62 percent of the Nation’s podiatrists

employed assistants. The typical empIoyer was

substantially younger (median of about 48 years

of age) than the typical nonempIoyer (median of

about 56 years of age). Where assistants were

employed, there was always a greater volume of

clinical activity (figure 4). For example, where

practition&s with no assistants reported medians

of about 41 patients and about 46 visits per

week, the typical practitioner who employed

assistants reported about 75 patients per week

and about 84 visits. Where only about 40

percent of non-users reported a working week of

35 hours or more, the proportion was about 60

percent for podiatrists who used assistants,

reflecting a median workweek of about 36-37

hours for the non-user and about 39 hours for

the user.

Of the Nation’s 7,078 podiatrists who engaged in patient care, about 32 percent (2,287)

employed one assistant; about 19 percent

(1,328) employed two; only about 11 percent

(762) employed three or more. The greater the

number of assistants, the greater was the number

of patient visits and patients seen. For example,

the typical practitioner with one assistant saw

about 66 patients per week; the practitioner

wit h three or more assistants saw about 101.

The typical practitioner with one assistant

reported about 73 patient visits per week; the

practitioner with three assistants or more

reported 120.

There is similarly a direct relationship between number of assistants and hours per week

devoted to patient care, as the following table

shows :

Of the 7,078 podiatrists engaged in patient

care at the time of the survey, about 48 percent

(3,361) employed full-time assistants; about 32

percent (2,293 ) employed part-time assistants.

Typically, if a podiatrist employed only one

assistant, it tended to be on a full-time basis; if

he employed two assistants, the most popular

combination was one full-time helper and one

part-time; if he reported three or more assistants, he tended to use about three full-time

assistants for every two part-time employees.

Southern podiatrists employed substantiaHy

more full-time assistants than did podiatrists in

other regions. The percentage of full-time employers in the South more than doubled the

percentage for the Northeast Region. Perhaps

this reflected another attempt on the part of the

Southern practitioners to compensate for their

relative scarcity in that region. If that was true,

their compensatory effort obviously did not

extend to any marked increase above the national tendency in the employment of part-time

wsistants.

AGE IN YEARS

Podiatrists in the multiple-member forms of

practice showed the most pronounced tendency

to employ both full-time and part-time assistants. The highest rate of full-time employment

occurred among the relatively few (129) podiatrists in group practice. It is perhaps significant

that podiatrists practicing in partnerships (458)

showed the most distinct preference for parttime assistants. But it was still the 2,738 solo

practitioners with full-time assistants and the

1,910 solo practitioners with part-time assistants

who accounted for the largest, absolute numbers

of supplementary podiatric personnel employed

in the United States at the time of the survey.

Solo practice was the clinical setting where by

far the greatest number of podiatric assistants

were active.

The age of the podiatrist was reflected in his

tcndency to employ assistants. Both full-time

and part-time emp~oyment showed roughly. par- -

allcl reactions to variations in age (fi~re 5).

Peak usage of both full-time and part-time

assistants occurred in the age group 35-44 years;

from age 45 on, usage diminished until, among

podiatrists aged 65 and over, only about 22

the podiatrist: United States, 1970.

percent employed full-time assistants and only

about 15 percent employed part-time assistants.

Figure 4 showed the direct relationship that

existed between an increase in number of

assistants (whether full-time, part-time or both)

and the volume of clinical activity as measured

in patient visits and patients - seen per week.

Figure 6 shows that these tendencies were

apparent when full-time employment and parttime employment were analyzed separately.

Using patient visits per week as the coiltrasting

——. --. ..—

indicator of clinical volume, the tendency to

employ full-time assistants vaned in direct proportion with the number of patient visits reported. The tendency to employ part-time assistants also increased with an increase in patient

visits, although not in like proportions as for

full-time helpers nor necessarily at the same rate

of increase.

Nature of Clinical Activity

Number and percent distribution of podiatrists

active in patfent care by primary and secondary

cIinical activity are shown in the table above.

Clefily~ practicing podiatrists showed no marked

tendency to specialize. About 90 percent of

their numbers engaged in generaI practice as

their primary clinical activity. A substantial 22

percent reported no secondary activity; when a

secondary activity was reported, it was most

frequently either surgery or foot orthopedics,

two close clinical adjuncts to the general practice of podiatry.

Of the remaining secondary activities, podogeriatrics was the one most commonly engaged

in. About one-third of all active res~ondents

devoted at least a part of their weekl~ clinical

activity to treatments in nursing homes.

Figure 7 shows median ages of podiatrists

engaged in the various primary and secondary

activities.

Youngest among practitioners–median age of

about 38 years—was the podiatrist who reported

surgery as his primary clinical activity. Podiatrists primarily active in general practice or +oot

orthopedics were typically older than surgeons;

they tended to cluster around the national

median age of about 51 years.

Like the practitioners who declared surgery as

a primary clinical activity, those who reported it

as a secondary activity tended to be markedly

younger than their colleagues who reported

other secondary activities. As a group, podi;[-

trists who engaged in secondary activities were

typically about 10 years younger (at about 48

years of age) than the 22 percent of the national

totaI who reported no secondary activity.

Mgdian age for the latter group was 58-59 years.

Survey findings revealed that podiatrists who

engaged in four of the six secondary activities

were typicaIly younger than the natiomd median

age of about 51 years. Only when the secondary

Figure 8 shows how participation in a specific

primary or secondary activity was associated

with voIume of cIinical activity as measured in

patient visitsand patients seen per week.

With a median experience of 79 visits per week,

podiatrists with surgery as their primary activity

showed a rate in weekIy visits that was substantially higher than that of podiatrists whose

primary activity was general practice or foot

orthopedics.

At a median of 78 visits per week, podiatrists

who reported that they engaged in secondary

clinical activities were markedly more active

than their colleagues who did not report a

secondary activity. For the Iatter group, the

secondary activities participants equalIed or exceeded the national median of 71 w’sits per

week. Only those few podiatrists (115) who

engaged secondarily in podiatric dermatology

fell below the national medians in both patient

visits and patients seen per week, a finding

probably due mor; to patient scarcity than to

anything unique about the practitioner of podiatric dermatology or about the cIinical activity

itself.

When surgery was reported as the podiatrist’s

secondary activity, there was the same tendency

toward a greater clinical volume as when it was

reported as a primary activity. For those who

specialized secondarily in surgery, the median

podiatrists whose secondary activity was podopedratrics ran a close second to surgeons.

Podiatrists with surgery as their primary clinical

activity, duplicating their experi&ce with number of visits and patients seen, showed a

markedly stronger tendency to employ full-time

assistants than dld podiatrists whose primary

activity was general practice or foot orthopedics.

In number, however, such “primary” surgeons

were vastly fewer than their colleagues in general

practice. It was these 6,361 general practitioners, almost 90 percent of the national total

who, though their tendency to employ full-time

helpers was substantially less pronounced than

that of their colleagues, still accounted for the

vast majority of fulI-time assistants active in the

Nation at the time of the survey.

Of the podiatrists with no secondary clinical

activity, only about 27 percent employed fulltime assistants. That proportion was almost

doubled by podiatrists who engaged in a secondary activity; an average of about 51 percent of

their numbers employed ——full-time assistants. The

tendency was”not uniform, however, throughout

all six secondary activities. Of the national total

(7,078), the overall proportion of podiatrists

12
who employed full-time assistants was about 48

percent. This national percentage was exceeded

by podiatrists in three of the secondary activities: general practice, surgery and podopediatrics. It was not equaled by podiatrists who

engaged secondarily in podogenatrics and foot

orthopedics nor—by the most substantial

margin-by those whose secondary specialty was

podiatric dermatology.

Clinical services rendered (by type). –Thirteen

specific types of clinical service were listed on

HospitaI surgery

Few distinctive age tendencies were evident

among providers of the different services. The

previous discussion has indicated the relative

youthfulness of podiatrists who reported surgery

as a primary or secondary specialty. Thus, it was

not unusual to find that practitioners who

performed hospital surgery were typically the

youngest among their colleagues. Median ages

ranged from a low of 43.2 years for podiatrists

performing hospital surgery to a high of 51.2

years for those who listed diathermy among the

services they provided. Predictably, the great

number who performed p~-atfve services (98

percent of all podiatrists) showed a median age

that closely approximated the national median

of 50.4 years.

When the providers of the different services

are ranked in descending order according to the

number of patient visits (for aIl purposes) that

they experienced per week, the result follows:

A comparison of median visits and median

patients seen suggests that the tendency for a

patient to make multiple tisits within the same

week did not appear strong, regardless of the

type of service that he sought.

Each of the 13 services was examined regarding the tendency of its providers to make use of

assistants in their practice. (It is not implied that

the assistants were employed solely to help with

the provision of that particular service.) The first

Clinical setting of patient-care activity .-–

Survey respondents were requested to take the

total that they had reported for patients seen in

the preceding week and analyze it further for

the approximate number of treatments rendered

in each of six specific settings: private office;

hospital (inpatient); hospital (outpatient); clinic

(not associated with a hospital); nursing home

(home for the aged, domiciliary, and so forth);

and patient’s home.

National experience appeared as follows:

Predictably, the private office was by far the

most popular clinical setting used by the Nation’s podiatrists. Not so predictable, however,

was the noteworthy tendency” to provide treatments in nursing homes and in the patient’s

home, a tendency perhaps partly supported by

the finding that 666 practitioners reported

podogeriatrics to be their secondary clinical

specialty.

In the clinical setting of the private office, the

TECHNICAL PROCEDURES

Background: 1970 Survey of Podiatrists

Most statistical information used in this report is the product of a survey of podiatrists

conducted January through March 1970 by the

NationaI Center for Health Statistics with the

cooperation of the American Podiatry Association.

The survey was conducted by means of a

self-administered questionnaire which was intended for mailing to all licensed podiatrists in

the United States. The questionnaire was designed to gather information from alI licensed

podiatrists, active or inactive, as to geographic

Iocation, year of birth, States of Iicensure,

number of years active in podiatry, and whether

currently active or inactive in podiatry. For all

licensed podiatrists who were active in podiatry,

the questionnaire sought additional information

as to their principal form of employment, the

number of weeks they worked in podiatric

activities during calendar year 1969, and the

number of hours per week they usually devoted

to all their professional podiatric activities. FGr

survey respondents who indicated that they

spent any time whatever in patient care, there

were questions designed to gather information

about the services they rendered, their use of

personnel to assist them in their practice, their

primary and secondary activities, the number of

patient visits they experienced in the week

preceding the week of reporting–by age and sex

of the patient and by the setting in which the

patient was treated.

A pretest was conducted during October and

November 1969. The 100 subjects for the

pretest were chosen randomIy from an alphabetical list of licensed podiatrists supplied by the

American Podiatry Association. Two mailouts of

the proposed survey questionnaire were made.

One teIephone folIowup compIeted the pretest

effort, producing a total response rate of about

91 percent. An analysis of pretest responses

resulted in minor changes in the wording of the

questionnaire and in the reordering of certain

parts within one of the questions in the interest

of greater clarity. The final, revised form of the

questionnaire appears as appendix 111.

Data Collection and Processing

For the main survey effort, the total number

of podiatrists was defined as alI persons holding

a Iicense in podiatry in the United States. The

initial mailing list was compiled by merging the

licensing lists of the 50 States and the District of

Columbia. Lists were suppIied by the American

Podiatry Association. The total number of podiatrists generated from the lists was 9,235. From

this number were eliminated duplicates (podiatrists licensed in more than one State) as WC1l

as podiatrists with foreign addresses, and to the

list were added the graduates of the five accredited colleges of podiatry for the 1968-69

academic year. This process of merging the 51

lists, eliminating duplicates and podiatrists outside the United States, and adding graduates

resulted in a mailing list of 8,290 potential

respondents who were then canvassed by mail.

The initial mailing of the survey questionnaire

was made in ,January 1970. Three subsequent

mailings to follow up on nonrespondents were

made in January and February 1970, the final

mailing by certified mail. The last effort at data

collection, a telephone followup, was conducted

during March 1970. The response rate, after all

collection efforts had been made and after

excluding deceased and out of scopes, amounted

to about 91 percent.

64
After eliminating the deceased, the duplicates

that had not been discovered prior to mailing,

and a few potential subjects who were out of

scope because they were no Ionger licensed, had

left the United States, or had been mistakenly

assumed to be podiatrists, a total of 8,016

podiatrists remained within the scope of the

survey. The further elimination of refusals,

postmaster returns, and other nonresponses reduced the usable universe to 7,274 “good”

responses (table I). To approximate the total

s.mivcrse of podiatrists as it would have appeared

had there been no refusals, postmaster returns,

m other nonresponses, a weighting or “inflation” factor was established for each State from

the ratio of total podiatrists in that State

(excluding deceased and out of scopes) to the

number of usable (good) responses obtained

(table H). Within each State, each good response

reccivcd the same inflated weight. When all the

weighted records were cumulated, they yielded

(after rounding) a weighted national figure of

8,017 for total actives and inactives and a figure

of 7,113 for podiatrists who were active in their

profession at the time of the survey. ‘

For the purposes of the present report we

selected as our statistical base those active

podiatrists who indicated that they devoted

some part of their weekly effort—however

small-to the direct diaL~osis and treatment of

podiatric patients. In numbers, this “clinically

active” majority amounted to an estimated

7,078 podiatrists. This figure is used as the base

for the tables and textual commentary in this

analysis of the characteristics of the clinical

practice of podiatry in the United States in

1970.

To compensate for partial nonresponse within

the questionnaire, i.e., leaving items unanswered,

a second type of adjustment was applied to the

data as received. In such cases, omitted items

were randomly assigned the response obtained

from respondents with similar characteristics,

and the total figure for the item was adjusted to

include this “imputation.” Table III shows that

the need for this kind of adjustment was

minimal; the item-nonresponse rate was less than

2 percent for all items except for the final four

on the questionnaire, which requested information on number of patient visits and on

number and characteristics of patients seen. (See

questionnaire items 19, 20, 20a, 20b, appendix

III.) The comparatively high nonresponse rate

for these items (about 4-7 percent) partly may

be explained by the fact that the questions

appear last in the questionnaire and an appreciable amount of respondent fatigue may have set

in. Probably more provocative of nonresponse,

however, was the rather demanding need to

consult records and to classify patients seen by

age and sex as well as by the seven possible

settings in which treatment could have occurred.

Rounding

.Numbers that appear in the present report

were independently rounded and may not add

to totals. Percents were also independently

rounded and may not always add to 100

percent. Percents and rates were calculated on

the basis of original, unrounded figures and will

not necessarily agree with rates and percents

that might be calculated from rounded data.

for podiatrists per 100,000 population are 1970
