A series of surveys were conducted at the request of the community of Oukasie to determine certain public health information in the township, a peri-urban black community. This article describes two of these surveys. The first, a census and partial demographic survey, showed that the total black population was around 6,300 with a mean household occupancy of 4.1. Some of the estimated vital statistics calculated were an infant mortality rate of 36.6/1,000, a crude birth rate of 28.0/1,000, a crude death rate of 6.5/1,000, and a general fertility rate of 99.3/1,000. The second survey into the nutritional and immunisation status of children aged under 5 years showed that 20% of children were underweight and nearly half were incompletely immunised at 1 year of age. These studies, involving local community and student volunteers, were rapidly and inexpensively done and provide basic public health information.
应奥卡西社区的要求开展了一系列调查，以确定这个城郊黑人社区（城镇）的某些公共卫生信息。本文介绍了其中两项调查。第一项是人口普查和部分人口统计调查，结果显示黑人总人口约为6300人，平均每户居住4.1人。计算得出的一些估计生命统计数据为：婴儿死亡率36.6‰，粗出生率28.0‰，粗死亡率6.5‰，一般生育率99.3‰。第二项针对5岁以下儿童营养和免疫状况的调查显示，20%的儿童体重不足，近一半儿童在1岁时免疫接种不完全。这些研究由当地社区和学生志愿者参与，开展迅速且成本低廉，提供了基本的公共卫生信息。
