This project aims to examine the early effects of two recent initiatives by the Australian government to improve children’s dental health by providing funds to cover essential dental services for children from disadvantaged families. It explores the factors affecting eligible children’s access to benefits from these initiatives and identifies the causal impacts of these changed health care financing arrangements on children’s consumption of dental services, indicators of oral health and general health, and other indicators of cognitive and non-cognitive development. Using advanced econometric techniques and panel datasets, this project is expected to contribute to the development of effective policies for promoting health and wellbeing.

该项目旨在研究澳大利亚政府最近的两项针对改善儿童牙齿健康的倡议的早期影响，以涵盖不利家庭的儿童基本牙科服务。它探讨了影响符合条件的儿童从这些倡议中获得利益的因素，并确定了这些改变医疗保健加强安排对儿童消费牙科服务的因果影响，口腔健康和一般健康的指标以及其他认知和非认知发展的指标。使用先进的经济技术和面板数据集，该项目有望有助于制定促进健康和福祉的有效政策。
