Eugenics Survey of Vermont

The Eugenics Survey of Vermont was a survey that gathered biological, familial, and social information of Vermonters in order to further eugenic policies in the state.[1] The survey existed from 1925-1936 and resulted in the sterilization of at least 250 Vermonters, most of them women.[2] Because of incomplete records, it is likely that the actual number of forced sterilizations was higher than this.[3][4]
