Abstract
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is an illness that is characterized by debili tating fatigue. Few non-treatment-based epidemiological studies have b een conducted in assessing rates of this disorder. Problems in conduct ing non-community-based prevalence studies are discussed. In addition, pilot data showing strategies to reach people afflicted with CFS are presented. It is argued that community-based epidemiological efforts a re needed in order to estimate prevalence rates of this disorder.
