Abstract
Four inner-city comprehensive-care programs in Baltimore were evaluated by study of their effect on incidence of rheumatic fever. Annual incidence of hospitalized first attacks was estimated for the black population five to 14 years old living in census tracts eligible for these programs in 1968–70. For comparison, incidence rates in three noneligible population groupings were calculated and compared with rates for 1960–64, before these programs were established.Keywords
