Journal of social hygiene

About this book

Published by the American Social Hygiene Association, this periodical brings medical prevention together with social and civic responses to sexual health, addressing public officials and health and welfare workers. One article outlines a syphilis-control plan for government workplaces, including the need for administrative backing and staff education. Elsewhere, a case report follows a pregnant woman held in San Antonio while local agencies arrange her transfer to a hospital in Pennsylvania. State listings of health offices and clinics give the journal a practical reference function alongside its policy discussions.
