Abstrakt		Background. There is great variability in home visiting rates in Europe. In Slovenia home visiting is decreasing, but the factors influencing home visiting by general practitioners in the country have not yet been examined. Aim. To study home visiting in Slovenia. Methods. A random representative sample of 165 Slovenian general practitioners was given a questionnaire, developed on the basis of former EGPRW projects. Each of the respondents provided data on 10 consecutive home visits made during office hours, data on hislher practice and number of consultations during the registration period. Multivariate modelling of home visits per working week as the dependent variable was performed. Results. A 71% response rate was achieved and the data from 1151 requests for home visits and 1015 completed home visits were analysed. The average number of home visits per working week was 2,5, with wide variation among the respondents (min:0, max:10, SD 1,89). Older GPs, trainees, GPs from rural areas and those with a higher proportion of elderly patients had more home visits. The selected logistic regression model fits the data well accoi'ding to established criteria. Conclusion. The home visiting rate in Slovenia is low compared to rates in other countries. Rural location of practice, GP's age, trainee status and the number of older patients on the list are the most important predictors of the home visiting rate.
