Abstract

Travelers visiting friends and relatives (VFR) have low rates of pre-travel health encounters. In 2006 in the Bronx, New York, a convenience sample of 129 families originating in malaria-endemic countries and presenting for a routine pediatric outpatient evaluation completed a standardized questionnaire regarding future travel plans to their country of origin. Pro-active screening for intended travel activities can identify future VFR travelers and ascertain potentially high-risk itineraries, thereby enabling education regarding the importance of accessing competent pre-travel medicine services.
