For this reason no attempt has been made to be specific in this regard beyond noting distributors who, ac- cording to our information, charge a rental fee. Use of trade names and distributors' names is for identification only and does not constitute endorsement by the Public Health Service or the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. IV INTRODUCTION This list has been compiled to serve as a quick, ready reference to selected films on heart disease, cancer, and stroke for professional and nonprofessional audiences. Titles relating to heart disease and cancer represent only a small proportion of films available on these diseases. However, the scarcity of films on stroke has been reemphasized during preparation of the list, and we hope that production in this subject area will increase substantially. The initial search for titles was made in files comprising the International Collection of Medical Film Data (ICMFD) maintained by the Cataloging and Special Reference Section, National Medical Audiovisual Center. As might be expected, films of the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society predominate. An attempt has been made to provide the broadest possible coverage within a limited framework. We gratefully acknowledge the help of those who so enthusiasti- cally supported and assisted in this endeavor. Particular appreciation is extended to representatives of the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Medical Association, the National Center for Chronic Disease Control, the National Cancer Institute, and the National Heart Institute of the Public Health Service. 1 ABBREVIATIONS 1.
