  Presented in this report are data about the estimated 90.5 million office visits made by black ambulatory patients over the 2-year span from January 1975 through December 1976.

The survey-national in range except for Alaska and Hawaii- is designed to explore the provision and utilization of ambulatory care in the offices of non-Federal, office-based physicians.
