Epidemiological research based in primary care practices has been hindered by the inability to estimate the number of persons served by individual practices. This study examines one method proposed as a means of estimating practice populations. The effectiveness of this "correction factor" method depends on uniformity in the proportion of persons visiting a physician in a two-year period across various sociodemographic subpopulations in the United States. The National Health Interview Survey data were examined for evidence of such uniformity. Within broad age-sex categories there was little variation by race, educational level, income, Spanish ancestry, or location of residence in the proportion reporting a physician visit within the previous two years. Although these results are encouraging, a number of problems remain before the "correction factor" method can be credibly used to estimate practice denominators.
