A Multiphasic Screening Project On The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation

Description:

A multiphasic screening project was carried out during the Sun Dance festivities on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in August 1960. Of approximately 2000 individuals present, 663 (30%) participated in the survey. Screening tests were carried out for diabetes, syphilis, leptospirosis, and brucellosis, and determinations of blood group and Rh were made. The survey provided the Indian people who participated with a health service they would otherwise not have had at their disposal. Tables. Bibliography.
