Digitized documents now available from 1932 Tuskegee Syphilis study

No doubt you've heard about the heartbreaking and unjust 1932 study by the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) on the effects of untreated syphilis in Black men at Tuskegee Institute. NLM has just made available a collection of over 3,000 items including letters, meeting minutes, articles, and more available to anyone for use.

This newly digitized collection aims to "ensure this chapter in history is never repeated and build greater trust in current biomedical research through transparency."
