Data collection and the oral health momentum
Fdi Session (On Demand)
Session Description
Data collection and the oral health momentum
The Oral Health Observatory (OHO) was launched in 2014 to generate standardized practice-based data on oral health, patients behaviours, healthcare needs, and the impact of oral health on quality of life in primary care. Data collection has been done in 12 countries, and 6 of them are at a well advance stage. This data has been used to instigate policy workshops in India and Colombia.
This session will discuss the OHO methodology and aims, and how countries have planned advocacy uses for their data. An open discussion with participants will follow the presentation, and will act as an invitation to organize data collection in their countries, regardless whether there is a lack of national data on oral health or where national surveys on oral health already exist.
