BOLTON The history of chiropractic in Australia is examined and classified as four discrete periods: the establishment period (1919-1945), the statutory recognition period (1945-1961), the legislative period (1961-1985) and the functional integration period (1985- ). Criteria identifying these periods are discussed, and significant events in each period are highlighted. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTIC; AUSTRALIA; HISTORY. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1988 Mar;18(1):3-8 KEITH H. CHARLTON Several professions claim to address the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral subluxation; conclusive evidence of the mechanical nature and dimensions of the lesion has been reported by none. This is the first of a series of articles describing investigations leading to a more accurate demonstration of some of the characteristics of vertebral subluxation.

J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1988 Mar;18(1):9-13 Recently Graduated Chiropractors in Australia, Part 3: Interprofessional Referrals RUSSELL J. BANKS, CHARLOTTE LEBOEUF and MICHAEL N. WEBB A survey of recently graduated chiropractors in Australia revealed that the majority of respondents had received referrals or referred patients to other members of the health care community during the month preceding the survey. It was more common for participants to refer patients than to receive referrals. Most referrals were between chiropractors and the medical profession; least common were those between physiotherapists and chiropractors. Chiropractors who referred received more referrals than those who did not. Locums, associates and those practitioners spending a minimum of thirty minutes at the initial patient visit most commonly reported interprofessional referrals. Practice location also appeared to affect the referral rate. INDEX TERMS: CHIROPRACTORS; SURVEY; REFERRAL; HEALTH PRACTITIONERS. J Aust Chiropr Assoc 1988; 18:14-6. Health Promotion and Disease Prevention-A Rational Approach to Screening in Chiropractic Clinics JENNIFER R. JAMISON The expectation that chiropractors participate in preventing disease and promoting the health of the community is becoming a reality as functional integration of chiropractors as primary contact practitioners within the orthodox health care system is increasingly realised. This paper demonstrates how a set of screening criteria may be used to selectively determine which conditions are suitable for routine screening by chiropractic clinicians. It is suggested that the efficiency of the chiropractor's health promotion and disease prevention endeavours can be maximised using this approach.

POLUS A brief description of a poster communication is given, and the advantages of using a poster to communicate a case report or research data are considered. The essentials of how to produce a poster are outlined to evidence the ease of their production. Posters are a simple and useful means of communicating clinical or research data at professional meetings, and they are recommended as a suitable and alternative form of communication for chiropractors in private practice who wish to report clinical or research data at professional meetings.
