We propose a continuation and extension of our ongoing work, whose goal is the elimination of oral health disparities through research, training and action. We aim to accomplish this goal in our targeted populations, and beyond, by leading a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional collaboration that is based on early and continuous community engagement, focused community-based research interventions, integrated training and career development activities, broad dissemination and implementation of research findings, and targeted health policy initiatives. Our enthusiasm for the work that we are proposing, as well as our confidence in the ability to meet our Center's aims, are based on our extensive experience to date and on what we have learned and accomplished over the past six years in leading a similar effort with as broad a geographic reach. The organizational structure and components of the Center, our experienced and multidisciplinary team of investigators, along with the strength of the institutional support we continue to receive from Boston University and our other partnering institutions, should serve to ensure our ability to conduct two major community-based intervention research projects aimed at reducing early childhood caries. The organizing theme of the work proposed builds on our current efforts to identify effective means by which to engage nondental care providers in oral health promotion, and to further extend the venues for oral health promotion to non-clinical care and residential settings directly in underserved communities. We are thus proposing two major community-based intervention research projects that will be implemented in: (1) community health centers, by medical care providers in the context of the pediatric well-child visit, linking oral health promotion efforts to developmentally appropriate anticipatory guidance and scheduled preventive visits (e.g., linked to immunization schedules); (2) public housing developments, by public housing residents who have been trained to be peer health promoters (Resident Health Advocates), aimed at families with young children living in Boston public housing.

我们建议继续和扩大我们正在进行的工作，其目标是消除口头歧视。 通过研究、培训和行动消除健康差距。我们的目标是实现这一目标， 通过领导多学科和多机构的合作， 早期和持续的社区参与，重点社区为基础的研究干预，综合 培训和职业发展活动，广泛传播和执行研究结果，以及 有针对性的卫生政策举措。我们对我们所提议的工作的热情，以及我们的信心 在满足我们中心的目标的能力，是基于我们迄今为止的丰富经验和我们所拥有的 在过去六年中，他在领导一项具有广泛地域影响力的类似努力中学到了很多东西，并取得了很大成就。 中心的组织结构和组成部分，我们经验丰富的多学科团队 沿着的是我们继续从波士顿获得的机构支持的力量 大学和我们的其他合作机构，应该确保我们有能力进行两个主要的 以社区为基础的干预研究项目，旨在减少幼儿龋齿。组委会 建议的工作主题是建立在我们目前努力确定有效方法的基础上， 促进口腔健康，并进一步扩大口腔健康促进的场所， 直接在服务不足的社区提供非临床护理和住宿环境。 因此，我们提出了两个主要的基于社区的干预研究项目，这些项目将 执行情况： (1)社区卫生中心，由医疗保健提供者在儿科健康儿童访问的背景下， 口腔健康促进工作，以发展适当的预期指导和定期预防 访问（例如，与免疫时间表相关联）; (2)公共住房发展，由公共住房居民谁受过训练， 发起人（居民健康倡导者），针对有年幼子女居住在波士顿公共住房的家庭。
