Immittance screening in black preschool children attending day-care centres.
Immittance screening was performed on 736 black children between the age of 2 and 6 years attending four day-care centres. It was found that 14.9% of these children failed the immittance screening. Problems encountered when attempting to apply the available standard immittance screening pass/fail criteria to a specific black race group are discussed.
