DE0984: 2024-25 Oral Health Survey Training 2 [1-5 year-old AI/AN Preschool Children][Live Webinar]
This training will provide dentists, dental hygienists, and dental health aide therapists with the knowledge and tools to conduct oral health survey on 1-5 year-olds. The Survey examiner will learn how to properly conduct the survey and then enter it into the EDR system. This training is required of all examiners. Every survey examiner must either complete the live or recorded webinar training, even if they have completed this training in the past [it is only one hour].
Starting in 2010, the Indian Health Service began annual oral health surveillance that have helped highlight disparities in dental disease among the AI/AN population and have helped show improvement in certain age groups [1-5 and 6-9 year-olds]. Many participating IHS, tribal, and urban clinics have used these reports and their local data to better prioritize care in their clinics or apply for additional funding from internal and external sources.
Upon completion of this live webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the methodology for this year’s surveillance program;
2. List who major contacts are with the surveillance program;
3. Apply key concepts in conducting surveys on 1-5 year-old youth.
