- Abstract
At Cherbourg Aboriginal Settlement the weight gains of infants remained at a constant level below the Australian average from 1953 to 1972. During this period the infant death rate decreased from about 28 per 1,000 live births to about 40 per 1,000 live births. At Palm Island Settlement the death rates have remained high and the growth rates low. The pattern at Cherbourg suggests that the people at Cherbourg have learnt how to use appropriately the hospital and health services, but have not yet made any major changes in the standards of infant care.
