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.
