Microcomputer applications in health population surveys: experience and potential in developing countries.
Regrettably, because the content and technology are evolving so rapidly the literature on the application of microcomputer technology to health and development is either out of date, or hard to find (e.g. unpublished reports from consultants working with development agencies or universities). The time needed to review and publish an article or a book dictates that by the time it is published, any statements about current hardware will be obsolete. For example, a recent volume by Ingle et al., quite sound from the theoretical and practical point of view is already out of date with respect to hardware details. ⋯ Compare options. Standardization and compatibility must be considered in all applications. This is important!(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
