African Americans Tuberculosis Journal of the Outdoor Life This content analysis reviews volumes 10-20 (1913-1923) of the Journal of the Outdoor Life, a historical health journal targeted toward tuberculosis patients in the early twentieth century. Feature articles were researched citing references to African Americans. It was known that there was a much higher infection rate of tuberculosis among African Americans during the period of time in which the researched journals were published. However, few references to African Americans were identified through this content analysis. The number of articles found with references to African Americans was conversely proportionate to the high tuberculosis infection rate among African Americans during the early twentieth century. Articles with references to African Americans were further reviewed and classified by their type, focus and tone. The type classification of articles with found references was predominately “informational” as opposed to “educational” or “personal viewpoint” and the tone was classified primarily as “positive” rather than “negative” or “neutral”. African Americans were the focus of the content in only a third of the articles found to have references. This leads one to question what impact these articles had on society at the time, and perhaps more importantly, what impact they could have had in decreasing the mortality rate among African Americans in the early twentieth century. 2004 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1100819312 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1100819312 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
