Excerpt from 31st Biennial Report of the Montana State Board of Health: 1960-1962A study now underway by the State Board of Health shows that the incidence among Indian babies in the State is one in every 276 births, which is about twice the non-indian rate and extremely high when com pared with national figures.In the last seven years, 226 babies have been born in Montana with this disorder with 73% of them registered in the State program.Of the current case load, studies at this time show 17 of the children have some other anomaly or deviation. Of these children, 1170 of them have reported anomalies in other members of the family. The largest percentage of the children come from families who are in the lower socio income bracket. This trend in Montana is the same as it is elsewhere.With the emergence of the concept of team care in providing Cleft lip-cleft Palate services for persons with complex disorders, Montana's three teams were formed in 1956. These teams have received national recognition for the development of their team approach and for the quality of the care provided.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
