Specific Conditions/Diseases 
 
   
   
The Specific Conditions/Diseases addressed on this Web site include the most frequent 26 diagnoses (comprising over 90% of visits) recorded at the Montana State University Swingle Student Health Service during the fall-winter and winter-spring semesters of 1997-98. Additional clinical topics are also included. For each condition, evidence is presented, where available and appropriate, on etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, prognosis and patient education, with references. Caveats are included, since clinical decisions are necessarily context-dependent and a particular EBM statement may not apply to every patient population. Citations are hyperlinked to the original source of the EBM statement.
