Dataset
Data was collected as part of a larger study looking at the effect of
swimming pool use on ear health18. Children from 7
An angu community schools were studied. The An angu
communities are located within the APY Lands and Maralinga Lands. These
lands span an area of approximately 200,000 km2 in the
far north-west part of South Australia and are home to a population of
approximately 3500 – 4000 people19. Visits to the
schools were facilitated by staff at the An angu Education Service
(AES) of the Department of Education (Government of South Australia). At
the time of study, there was no ENT input into medical services on the
Lands, essentially making this a surgically naïve and untreated dataset.
