Excerpt from Education and Selected Practice Characteristics of Black Dentists: Final Report A statistical study which examined the progression of blacks from application to dental school through entry into dentistry upon graduation was conducted. The project included identifying relevant data sources, documenting data from these sources that relate to issues about black dentists, merging and constructing relevant data into work files for statistical analyses, and conducting analysis of the dental education of blacks and some characteristics of black dentists. The statistical analysis focused on the progression of blacks from prior to application to dental school including family characteristics, high school and pre-dental school characteristics; to application to dental school; to enrollment in dental school; to graduation from dental school; and, to practice, specialty, and location characteristics. This progression by black dentists is also depicted in Figure 1. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
