Excerpt from Infant Mortality: Results of a Field Study in Johnstown, Pa;, Based on Births in One Calendar Year

When it had been decided by the Children's Bureau to make infant mortality the subject of its first field study and to include all babies born in a given calendar year, regardless of whether they lived or died during their first year, advice and cooperation were enlisted of moth ers, physicians, nurses, and others experienced in the care of chil dren, and also of trained investigators and statisticians, in the prep aration of a schedule which was submitted to them for criticism.

With its limited force and funds it was not possible for the Chil dren's Bureau to extend its inquiries throughout the entire United States. It was therefore decided to make intensive studies of babies born in a single calendar year in each of a number of typical areas throughout the country that offered contrasts in climate and in economic and social conditions, the results to be eventually combined and correlated. It was necessary to restrict the choice of the first area to a place of such size as could be covered thoroughly within a. Reasonable time by the few agents available for the work.
