DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oral Health in American eiders has improved dramatically over the past 5 decades, yet important disparities in oral health status and access to care remain among the frail, chronically ill, the poor, and "minority" elders. We propose a two-day workshop to be held in Boston on September 13 and 14, 2004. This workshop, planned as a follow-up to "Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General" (2000), will critically examine what we know and what we need to know regarding determinants of access to dental care and oral health among elders. We will develop and prioritize recommendations for research related to access to, and financing of oral health care among elders, as a prelude to the development of a plan for improving access to oral health care for underserved elders. Thus the specific aims of this conference are to: 1. Systematically review national (US) data on access to dental care among community dwelling as well as the frail and institutionalized elderly; 2. Examine determinants of access to care and oral health among older Americans; 3. Examine disparities in access and oral health among the poor, and racial and ethnic minorities; 4. Compare the access to dental care in the US with access in other developed nations with aging populations; 5. Systematically review the financing of dental care among the elderly, including the frail, the poor and racial groups in the US and around the world; and 6. Describe what we know and need to know about improving access to oral health care for elders including options for financing elders' dental care in the future. Systematic reviews of the literature will be prepared prior to the two-day workshop to serve as background papers. These papers will be revised based on discussions at the workshop, and submitted with recommendations for further research and a plan of action, as a package for publication in the Journal of Dental Education. Summaries of the workshop and Research agendas will be submitted to Journal of the American Dental Association, Health Affairs and Special Care in Dentistry as well as Consumer publications from the AARP, the Older Women's League and the Gray Panthers.

描述(由申请者提供)：美国老年人的口腔健康在过去50年中有了显著的改善，但在虚弱、慢性病患者、穷人和少数族裔老年人之间，口腔健康状况和获得护理的机会仍然存在重大差距。我们建议于2004年9月13日和14日在波士顿举行为期两天的研讨会。这次研讨会是“美国的口腔健康：卫生局局长的报告”(2000)的后续活动，它将批判性地研究我们对老年人获得牙科保健和口腔健康的决定因素的了解和需要了解的内容。我们将制定与老年人获得口腔保健的机会和筹资有关的研究建议，并将其列为优先事项，作为制定改善服务不足老年人获得口腔保健机会计划的前奏。因此，这次会议的具体目的是：1.系统地审查关于社区居民以及体弱和住院老年人获得牙科保健的国家(美国)数据；2.研究美国老年人获得牙科保健和口腔健康的决定因素；3.考察穷人、种族和少数民族在获得牙科保健和口腔健康方面的差距；4.比较美国和其他人口老龄化的发达国家获得牙科保健的情况；5.系统地审查老年人的牙科保健筹资情况，包括美国和世界各地的体弱者、穷人和种族群体；描述我们知道和需要知道的关于改善老年人获得口腔保健的机会，包括未来为老年人的牙科保健提供资金的选择。在为期两天的讲习班之前，将对这些文献进行系统的审查，作为背景文件。这些论文将在研讨会讨论的基础上进行修改，并与进一步研究的建议和行动计划一起提交，作为一揽子计划发表在《牙科教育杂志》上。研讨会和研究议程的摘要将提交给美国牙科协会杂志、牙科健康事务和特别护理以及美国退休人员协会、老年妇女联盟和灰豹协会的消费者出版物。
