The three‐legged stool of success for states
In the corporate world, one climbs the ladder of success. Public health, however, operates on a smaller stage. So, a state dental program must first walk up three or four steps onto the stage upon which sits the “three-legged stool of success.” The Isman et al. article featured Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors resources that provide a great set of floor lights to guide state dental programs to the steps in an otherwise dark a…
Body mass index measurement in schools
Although there are some minor differences among states that have implemented joint school-based oral health/BMI surveillance, there are overarching similarities such as survey design and standardization of BMI measures. States considering implementing BMI surveillance efforts can use this review as a starting point to consider attributes such as program effectiveness and methods to improve or enhance surveillance systems already in place
Do school-based dental sealant programs reach higher risk children
In Ohio, targeting S-BSPs by family income-based school-level criteria was effective in reaching higher risk children
Targeting school-based dental sealant programs
Targeting higher risk schools to reach higher risk children is a practical and effective approach for increasing sealant prevalence through S-BSPs
Validation of a Method for Collecting Annual, Population-based Oral Health Data for the MCH Title V Block Grant
Parent or Caregiver, Staff, and Dentist Perspectives on Access to Dental Care Issues for Head Start Children in Ohio
Objectives. We conducted 5 surveys on consumer and provider perspectives on access to dental care for Ohio Head Start children to assess the need and appropriate strategies for action. Methods. We collected information from Head Start children (open-mouth screenings), their parents or caregivers (questionnaire and telephone interviews), Head Start staff (interviews), and dentists (questionnaire). Geocoded addresses were also analyzed. Results. Tw…
Statistical Model for Assessing the Impact of Targeted, School‐based Dental Sealant Programs on Sealant Prevalence Among Third Graders in Ohio
Not controlling for confounders can result in underestimation of the impact of targeted school sealant programs
Establishing Maternal and Child Health Data Collection Priorities for State and Local Oral Health Programs
A modified Delphi approach facilitated the development of core and optional data items for a model oral health needs assessment. This model has potential for a common reporting mechanism so that states and local dental programs can share data
The Use of Dental Sealants by Ohio Dentists
The grate majority of Ohio dentists report using sealants. The percent of reported sealant users increased between 1989 and 1992. Ohio dentists are not consistent with regard to the percent of their child patients for whom they apply sealants or their willingness to seal incipient caries. Dentists continue to identify lack of insurance coverage for sealant application as a major barrier to patients receiving the service

Usefulness of a Local Oral Health Survey in Program Development
In 1986, the Columbus (Ohio) Health Department conducted an oral health survey of children in grades 1, 2, 6, and 7. The World Health Organization's Pathfinder methodology served as the basis for survey design. The survey was made possible through collaboration and sharing resources among the local and state health departments and two universities. The findings of the children's portion of the survey proved useful in program planning, marketing (…
Development of an Oral Health Survey
This article describes the method used to develop and implement a local oral health survey (Columbus, Ohio) conducted in 1986. With the shift in the national dental disease pattern in the past decade, local oral health information is essential for program planning purposes. A collaborative effort by a city health department, a state health department, a dental school, and a school of public health demonstrated how this group worked harmoniously i…
Controversy over the Supervision of Dental Hygienists
In 1983, the New Mexico Board of Dentistry ruled that the New Mexico Health and Environment Department's sealant program violated its rules and regulations concerning the supervision of dental hygienists. The state was forced to reduce the number of children served by the program to comply with the decision. Attempts to secure a revision of the rules and regulations to accommodate the needs of public programs were unsuccessful. Relief eventually …
Usefulness of a Statewide Referral Directory of Dentists Found Willing to Treat Disabled Persons
Referral directories of dentists willing to treat disabled individuals have been used as an expeditious means of improving access to care for this group. The purpose of this survey was to assess the usefulness of one such statewide referral directory. Agencies, individual field workers, and organizations to which the directory had been sent 18 months earlier were surveyed to determine the usefulness of the directory. Of the 77 groups and individu…
