- Abstract
The effect of educational activities, distance from a genetic centre, and presence of satellite clinics on the growth in genetic services in three regions served (south Alabama, west Florida and southeast Mississippi) was examined. Comparisons of growth trends between the three regions were made in the context of regional differences in clinical and educational variables. Multiple regression analyses of growth in clinical services with these variables were also performed. Results demonstrated that growth in clinical services is greatly enhanced when educational activities are offered in concert with the establishment of a satellite clinic.
