Abstract

In the province of Saskatchewan the tuberculosis control program is entrusted to a non-official, but tax supported, health agency - the Saskatchewan Anti-Tuberculosis League. To the writer's knowledge, this organization represents a unique approach to the organization of public health activities. The following study is an attempt to investigate, from a broad social standpoint, the usefulness of this approach used in Saskatchewan.
