SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Primary Care Network Survey (PRINS)

As directed in its reauthorization

legislation, AHRQ supports activities

designed to improve the capacity of

practice-based research networks

(PBRNs) to conduct research in primary

care settings. A PBRN is a group of

ambulatory practices devoted

principally to the primary care of

patients, affiliated with each other in

order to investigate questions related to

community-based practice. AHRQ has

recently established cooperative

agreements with 19 PBRNs who have

specifically been asked to conduct

network-defining surveys using the

1999–2000 version of the National

Ambulatory Medicare Care Survey

(NAMCS) instrument (OMB No. 0920–

0234). To distinguish data collected

through the survey from NAMCS data

collected from the nationally

representative physician sample of the

National Center for Health Statistics,
