Social Inequalities in Oral Health among Australian Working Age Adults

澳大利亚处于社会和经济劣势的工作年龄成年人的口腔健康状况明显差于那些来自有利背景的人。本项目探讨社会地位随时间的变化，以及不同形式的社会劣势之间的相互作用，如何导致口腔健康方面的社会不平等。该项目希望通过开发和应用分析和模拟模型，增进对口腔健康方面的社会不平等现象及其解决办法的了解。这将有助于确定减少劳动年龄成年人口腔健康结果方面持续存在的社会不平等的方法。在这样做的过程中，它将为未来的政策提供信息，这些政策将显著改善澳大利亚工作年龄成年人的福祉。

Australian working age adults with social and economic disadvantage have significantly poorer oral health outcomes than those from advantaged backgrounds. This project explores how changes in social position over time, and interactions between different forms of social disadvantage, contribute to social inequalities in oral health. This project expects to improve understanding of social inequalities in oral health, and its solutions, by developing and applying analytical and simulation models. This will help identify ways to reduce the persistent social inequalities in oral health outcomes in working age adults. In doing this, it will inform policies in future that will significantly improve the well-being of Australian working age adults.
