Abstract
This report provides an overview of the data available to identify the problems and assess the needs of children and adolescents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who are at risk for poor oral health. National data are presented first, followed by state and local data. A blueprint for action provides strategies to address the causes and symptoms of poor oral health among children and adolescents. Topics include developing family-based oral health education and prevention programs; developing social marketing and public education campaigns; developing policy proposals at local, state, and national levels; and conducting needs assessments, evaluation, and applied research on an ongoing basis. An executive summary, conclusions, and references are provided.
