Leonard H. Dawson papers, 1965-1995 [manuscript].

Collection chronicles health issues explored from the 1960s through the 1990s by Leonard Dawson and public health students. Included are documents related to the planning and execution of field training programs and to ongoing projects and conferences. One of the major projects was the work of Capital Health Systems Agency, an organization created by federal law to promote a health care system which provided quality care at affordable costs. Student analyses of health issues are found in team-written community reports, individual project reports, and master's papers. The community studies and most of the project reports involve organizations and locales within North Carolina and nearby areas and thus are particularly relevant to health issues in North Carolina and the South generally, although some concern other states and foreign countries.
