We obtained data through survey and used EXCEL software for data summary, and then used SPSS 20.0 software to perform frequency analysis and chi-square test. The results we obtained demonstrate that the main factors affecting Tianjin residents' recognition of the principle of "first-treatment in the community hospital" include three aspects: policy system, medical level and psychological factors of residents.
