⁂ Known as "The Shattuck Report" this is the American equivalent of Edwin Chadwick's famous report in England, ...On an Inquiry into the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population of Great Britain, published in 1842. Shattuck's work is the first systematic use of birth and death records and other demographic data to describe the health of a population and, despite being ignored for twenty years due to its radical nature, it eventually became the basis of the American public health code.
