口腔健康对个人和人口的整体健康和福祉至关重要。然而，美国人口的口腔健康差异仍然很大，这是因为一系列影响因素，包括复杂的文化和社会过程，这些因素影响着口腔健康和获得有效的牙科保健。本文介绍了一个解决口腔健康差距的组织框架。我们提出并讨论如何使用这个框架的多重影响口腔健康和口腔健康的差距。针对不同因果途径的干预措施为减少口腔健康差异的研究和政策带来了新的方向和影响。
Oral health is essential to the general health and well-being of individuals and the population. Yet significant oral health disparities persist in the U.S. population because of a web of influences that include complex cultural and social processes that affect both oral health and access to effective dental health care. This paper introduces an organizing framework for addressing oral health disparities. We present and discuss how the multiple influences on oral health and oral health disparities operate using this framework. Interventions targeted at different causal pathways bring new directions and implications for research and policy in reducing oral health disparities.
