	Mental Health, United States, 2000: Chapter 11.
		The nature of other health and human services systems, even those that are largely governmental, tend not to be as participatory or as publicly planned and organized as mental health services (Hadley and Culhane, 1993).
		These findings were landmarks in mental health services research because they both broadened the scope of the problem of mental illness and refined estimates regarding resources necessary to meet demand for mental health services.
		Service providers are uniformly trained in the treatment modality under study and are monitored in order to ensure strict adherence to the treatment protocol.

	Healthy Choices - Public Health Service Report on Fluoride Risks
		This report, "Public Health Service Report on Fluoride Benefits and Risks" is a summary of the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of Review of Fluoride Benefits and Risks: Report of the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Fluoride of the Committee to Coordinate Environmental Health and Related Programs, published in February 1991.
		Because dental fluorosis does not compromise oral health or tooth function, an increase in dental fluorosis does not represent a public health concern; however, it indicates that total fluoride exposure may be higher than that necessary to prevent tooth decay.
		State health departments and drinking-water programs should continue to inform physicians, dentists, and communities about the fluoridation status of drinking water to enable the determination for the need for water fluoridation or for supplemental forms of fluoride.

	United States Cadet Nurse Corps - 1943-1948
		Its primary purpose was to ensure that the United States had enough nurses to care for the needs of its citizens on both the home and war fronts.
		When the United States entered World War II and defense production had begun, it became clear that there was a dramatic shortage of nurses in the country.
		This status is felt to be justified on the basis that Cadet Nurses were enlisted in a uniformed, military service in a time of war, under the command of the United States Public Health Service and the Surgeon General of the United States.
