Suter, Edgar A. Assault Weapons Revisited— An Analysis of the AMA Report. Joarw / of the Medical Association of Georgia, vol. 85, May 1994, n.p. Criticizes the American Medical Association report Assault Weapons as a Public Health Hazard in the United States. Suter argues that the high ammunition capacity of such weapons is usually irrelevant because only a few shots are fired in most incidents other than well-publicized mass shootings. Suter also accuses the report for relying only on unsubstantiated anecdotal data.

The fortification of these milk products with vitamin A is endorsed by the American Medical Association, with the concurrence of the Food and Nutrition Board, National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council and the Expert Panel on Food Safety and Nutrition of the Institute of Food Technologists (AMA 1982). The fortification of dried skim milk with vitamin A is viewed by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agricultural Organization (WHO 1977) as an important measure to combat vitamin A deficiency in developing countries, where 20,000 to 100,000 children yearly develop blindness from a lack of vitamin A in their diets (DeLuca et al. 1979). 

German chemists knew in the 1900s that barbiturates could be addictive. However, people who took barbiturates did not always exhibit symptoms of drug dependence or withdrawal. By the 1940s, the addictive nature of barbiturates alarmed groups ranging from the American Medical Association (AMA) to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

Professional pharmacy and medical organizations [e.g., the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), the National Community Pharmcists Association (NCPA), and the American Medical Association (AMA)] and health care organizations [e.g., the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or the American Heart Association (AHA)] also provide valuable information about many health conditions and value-added services. This information is important not only in the development of a service but also in justifying the need for a service with consumers and administrators. These organizations also provide treatment guidelines and additional resources that can be used when developing an operations plan for a service (see Chapter 25).
