[[John A. Erickson]] (1982) started to work individually to advance [[genital integrity]].
Professor Lowell R. King (1982), who had been a member of the "ad hoc" task force on circumcision of the AAP, felt compelled to defend the reasoning of the task force.<ref name="king1982">{{REFjournal

Navia et al. (2020) surveyed the incidence of non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision in four states. The incidence of circumcision in 2016 was found to have declined to 54.5 percent, which translates to an increase in [[genital integrity ]] and wholeness rate to 45.5 percent.<ref>{{REFjournal

===Incidence of circumcision===
Jacobson et al. (2021) collected circumcision statistics from the Kids' Inpatient Database from 2002 to 2016. They reported that the incidence of circumcision had "neonatal circumcision rates decreased significantly over time" with 55 percent being circumcised, which translates to a [[genital integrity ]] (intact) rate of 45 percent. The previous intact rate for the nation had been reported to be 41.7 percent in 2010, so this represents an improvement of 7.9 percent in the number of intact boys. The incidence of circumcision for the entire United States had declined to 52.1 percent at the end of the study period (2016), which indicates that 47.9 percent of boys born in that year are intact.<ref name="jacobson2021" />
In the Midwest, the incidence of circumcision had declined to 75 percent, which translates to a [[genital integrity ]] rate increase to 25 percent or 1 in 4 boys having an [[intact]] foreskin.<ref name="jacobson2021" /> The previous report from 2010 was one boy in five being intact,<ref name="bollinger2017" /> and before that it was 1 in 10 boys being intact, so this in an increase of 25 percent in the rate of intactness for the Midwest.
==Parity==
As the present trend continues, it is expected that being [[intact]] will shortly become the more usual, normal condition for young boys in America.
==American [[genital integrity ]] organizations==
The United States of America now has have [[Intactivist_groups#USA| numerous [[genital integrity ]] (intactivist) organizations]] working to promote the [[genital integrity ]] of American boys.
