A graduate education program in public health for American Indians was introduced in the fall of 1971 at the College of Public Health, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. The program was initiated with support from the Office of Economic Opportunity. Between August 1, 1971, and December 31, 1983, 52 American Indians received public health degrees from the University of Oklahoma's College of Public Health. Of that number, 50 received masters degrees in public health; 1 a PhD; and 1 a DrPH degree. Degrees were granted in these disciplines: biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, health administration, health education, and human ecology. This study assesses the job achievements of 51 of those American Indian graduates. Each Indian was paired with a non-Indian graduate randomly selected from a cluster sample compiled from the school's files of non-Indian graduates. The results of this study showed that Indian graduates had the kinds and amounts of responsibilities, with the exception of budget approval responsibility, that one would acquire or expect to acquire in a key administrative or staff position. The study further indicated that Indian graduates were generally achieving as much success and satisfaction in their jobs as the non-Indian graduates.
1971年秋季，美国俄克拉荷马大学健康科学中心公共卫生学院推出了针对美国印第安人的公共卫生研究生教育项目。该项目在经济机会办公室的支持下启动。1971年8月1日至1983年12月31日期间，52名美国印第安人从俄克拉荷马大学公共卫生学院获得了公共卫生学位。其中，50人获得公共卫生硕士学位；1人获得博士学位；1人获得公共卫生博士学位。学位授予的学科包括：生物统计学、流行病学、环境卫生、卫生管理、健康教育和人类生态学。本研究评估了其中51名美国印第安毕业生的工作成就。每位印第安毕业生都与一名从该校非印第安毕业生档案中汇编的整群样本中随机挑选的非印第安毕业生配对。这项研究的结果表明，除了预算审批职责外，印第安毕业生承担着人们在关键行政或工作人员职位上会获得或期望获得的各类职责和相应数量的职责。该研究进一步表明，印第安毕业生在工作中取得的成功和满意度总体上与非印第安毕业生相当。
