A Vision for Oral Health Equity: Community Perspectives

Описание: Oral health and overall health are intrinsically connected and when everyone has the opportunities they need, free from barriers, to pursue their best oral health, we see healthier communities. Texas Health Institute made the community voice the driving force of our Advancing Oral Health Equity in Texas project.

“A Vision for Oral Health Equity: Community Perspectives” gives you the opportunity to hear directly from our community partners and members about their experiences and vision for advancing oral health equity. With funding support from CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, THI engaged eight community-based organizations (CBOs) as community research partners—to assess and contextualize oral health disparities by age, race and ethnicity, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and geography.

Our research partners are located throughout the state:
Acres Homes Community Advocacy Group, Houston, Texas
Area Health Education Center, Laredo, Texas
Cancer & Chronic Disease Consortium, El Paso, Texas
Equality Texas, Austin, Texas
Maternal Health Equity Collaborative (Black Mamas ATX), Austin, Texas
Texas Impact, Austin, Texas
Texas Parent to Parent, Austin, Texas
Tri-County Community Action, Center, Texas

THI would like to thank the community participants and CBOs for sharing their perspectives for the advancement of oral health equity.
