Tuberculosis Trends Aboard Indian Health Efforts
The National Tuberculosis Association formed a 1921 committee to study tuberculosis among North American Indians. The report shows a peak mortality in 1913 at 32.24 per thousand, falling to 22.33 by 1920, with tuberculosis causing 32 percent of Indian deaths in 1911 and 27 percent in 1920. It highlights progress, need for sanatoriums, and jurisdiction questions between federal and New York state authorities, plus ongoing poverty and food shortages affecting health.
