CHAPTER VIII THE STATE TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATIONS A HISTORY of the National Tuberculosis Association should AA logically include a brief survey of the work of the various state associations. For many years the National Association's work was largely that of organizing state bodies. Within the last four or five years, however, it has been the stimulation and standardization of tuberculosis work throughout the state organizations. At the present time there is a state association in every state and in the District of Columbia., The local associations in New York City, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, and Chicago are treated by the National Tuberculosis Association in the same relation as state associations, and are designated as "affiliated associations." This section, therefore, will deal with the history of the work in each of the 48 state associations, the District of Columbia, and the four affiliated associations. For purpose of convenience the state and affiliated associations are grouped alphabetically. The information contained in this section has been compiled from reports received by the author and from records on file in the office of the National Tuberculosis Association. The information concerning deaths and death-rates is taken entirely from the records of the United States Census Bureau for the Registration Area of the United States in order that the figures may be uniform and comparable. While figures are available from state registrars for most of the states, they are not as comparable, one with another, as those from the Registration Area. Where no death-rate figures are given, it may be assumed that none are available, the state not being included in the Registration Area. 76 ALABAMA TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION The active campaign...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this handbook is to bring together in summarized form the issues, recommended strategies and practical measures involved in addressing each of the components of the WHO Stop TB Strategy. This handbook has been prepared principally for use by national TB control programme managers and staff, as well as partner organizations and professionals involved in implementing TB control activities. Readers are provided with a concise account of the essential elements of a comprehensive TB control programme and an overview of the full range of activities that need to be implemented to achieve the TB control targets set for 2015. An adequate strategy for the control of tuberculosis (TB) globally calls for a comprehensive approach to address all of the main constraints facing TB control, including emerging challenges, as well as the main risk factors influencing the incidence of TB. Consequently, the scope of activities undertaken by national TB control programmes has greatly increased

Download or read book Ending Neglect written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-08-31 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberculosis emerged as an epidemic in the 1600s, began to decline as sanitation improved in the 19th century, and retreated further when effective therapy was developed in the 1950s. TB was virtually forgotten until a recent resurgence in the U.S. and around the worldâ€"ominously, in forms resistant to commonly used medicines. What must the nation do to eliminate TB? The distinguished committee from the Institute of Medicine offers recommendations in the key areas of epidemiology and prevention, diagnosis and treatment, funding and organization of public initiatives, and the U.S. role worldwide. The panel also focuses on how to mobilize policy makers and the public to effective action. The book provides important background on the pathology of tuberculosis, its history and status in the U.S., and the public and private response. The committee explains how the U.S. can act with both self-interest and humanitarianism in addressing the worldwide incidence of TB.

Download or read book The Tuberculosis Movement written by Michael E. Teller and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-04-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tuberculosis Movement presents a detailed description of the evolution of the American tuberculosis movement from its inception in the late 19th century to its maturity in 1917. As Teller demonstrates, the tuberculosis movement during this era pioneered many of the methods of contemporary public health--the voluntary association dedicated to eradicating a specific disease, close cooperation between physicians and laity and between public and private agencies, and campaigns of mass public education. The most comprehensive study of the movement to date, this book contains a wealth of information not found in any other history of the campaign against tuberculosis, including full accounts of the backgrounds, motivations, and ideology of the movement's leadership; the origins and activities of the state and local associations and their cooperation with other groups in the fight to control the disease; the educational campaign mounted by the movement's leadership; and public health measures and institutions established to restrict the spread of the disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. tuberculosis movement pioneered many of the strategies of modern public health campaigns. Dedicated to eradicating a specific disease, it was spearheaded by voluntary associations and supported by the sale of Christmas seals. Although remarkable in its scope and intensity, the effectiveness of the tuberculosis (TB) movement has not been studied in a systematic fashion. Using newly digitized mortality data at the municipal level for the period 1900-1917, we explore the effectiveness of the measures championed by the TB movement. Our results suggest that the adoption of a municipal reporting requirement was associated with a 6 percent decrease in pulmonary TB mortality, while the opening of a state-run sanatorium was associated with an almost 4 percent decrease in pulmonary TB mortality. However, these and other anti-TB measures can explain, at most, only a small portion of the overall decline in pulmonary TB mortality observed during the period under study.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the National Tuberculosis Association the Anti-Tuberculosis Movement in the United States The completion of fifteen years of the active work of the National Tuberculosis Association in January, 1920, seemed to me an opportune time for recording in some more or less permanent form a history of the beginning of the great anti-tuberculosis movement in the United States and a record of the progress made. This is the reason for this volume. My own personal interest in tuberculosis work, extending over a quarter of a century, and my intimate acquaintance with the National Tuberculosis Association from its inception to its present development, led me to suggest to the Association that such a history should be written. The committee appointed to undertake the matter asked me to write the history and submit it to them for criticism, modification, and approval. The committee was composed of Dr. Hermann M. Biggs, Chairman, Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, Dr. George M. Kober, Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, and the author. Each member of the committee has read and approved the manuscript and offered helpful suggestions which have been incorporated in the text. Their suggestion that my own biography should be added was very flattering, but I have not complied with it for the following reasons: First, not having been an officer of the Association I was not entitled to appear among those who have held such positions; and secondly, there is nothing of sufficient importance in my own life to be worth recording. I have been a humble soldier in the war against tuberculosis which has been led by great generals. In the early days I had my trials and tribulations like all those who endeavor to do pioneer work. I have been amply rewarded for my work by the good will and friendship of my teachers and colleagues and that of the officers and directors of the Association who have granted me the privilege of writing the history and have been helpful in making its publication possible.
