This resource provides evidence-based recommendations and findings about what works to improve public oral health. Strategies are reviewed and interventions outlined in three key areas: (1) prevention of dental caries; (2) prevention of oral and pharyngeal cancers; and (3) prevention of oral and facial injuries. Recommendations include community water fluoridation, school-based or -linked dental sealant delivery programs, early cancer detection, and the use of protective gear for the head and the mouth during contact sports.

This book contains an evaluation of pedodontic programs sponsored by the Bureau of Community Health Services. Background literature supports the view that pedodontists need training in treating the oral health problems of children with disabilities. A model for evaluation of these training programs is provided in this book. Sections include: general evaluation approach, site assessment, practitioner survey, linage to pedodontic program graduates, and overall conclusions and recommendations. Samples of the surveys used are included in the appendices.

This book contains 15 papers presented at the Workshop on School-Based Dental Delivery Systems. The workshop goal was to bring together national experts on dental delivery systems and others interested in school health programs to examine the feasibility of a national primary dental care program based in schools where there are large numbers of dentally-underserved children. Topics include planning, implementation, evaluation, consumer perspectives, legislation, and workshop recommendations.

This report evaluates the design, implementation, and results of three small preventive health education demonstration grants awarded to community health centers. The study reviewed the Pike Market Medical Clinic Nutrition Intervention Program in Seattle, Washington; the Adolescent Periodontal Disease Prevention Program, a Colorado migrant health program; and "Great to Wait," the adolescent pregnancy prevention program operated by Health Care Partners of South Carolina. The latter program was based on the adolescent abstinence training program "Postponing Sexual Involvement," developed by Dr. Marion Howard at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, with additional information from "True Love Waits." The "Great to Wait" program targeted adolescents ages 11–14 in rural communities with a large African-American population. The report includes information on the design of each program, its organization and implementation, the outcomes, and the evaluation process. The report also includes examples of the training materials and evaluation instruments.

This final report reviews and summarizes a community-based, culturally sensitive oral health project in Canim Lake, British Columbia. The project aimed to promote quality infant feeding and prevent early childhood caries in the Canim Lake Band, a Shuswap community of 500 members belonging to the First Nations group. The report summarizes the project and reviews the demonstration components (methodology, problems encountered, timetables), evaluation components (process, impact, and outcome), and project outcomes. Two of the projects implemented—a cradle loan project and construction of a smokehouse—were related to historical Shuswap traditions for comforting fussy babies. Appendices include a sample questionnaire and an evaluation form.
