The virtual dental home (VDH) addresses barriers for nursing facility residents, offering promise in overcoming challenges. This study explores the experiences and perceptions of a new VDH program among healthcare professionals and allied workers, aiming to determine its perceived value, challenges, and successes.Methods: Structured interviews were conducted with current and former employees of a federally qualified health center and long-term care facilities (LTCF) involved in the development, implementation, and maintenance of a VDH. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded to identify perceived common values, challenges, and successes of stakeholders involved in this project.Results: Interviewees indicated transportation was a common barrier to LTCF residents receiving dental treatment and believed participation in the VDH helped improve access to dental care for these individuals. There was a higher than anticipated administrative burden for the community health center participants; notwithstanding, all interviewees indicated an interest in continued participation in this program.Conclusions: As technology advances and interest in the VDH model grows, ongoing evaluation and improvement are essential. Effective care coordination and comprehensive communication strategies, including designated communication managers, can reduce administrative burdens and support comprehensive care delivery.","PeriodicalId":94108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach allowed the research team to ensure that the survey integrated both the investigator's perspective and direct input from the community, ensuring the survey was clear, relevant, and accessible to its intended audience.Methods: The CE Studio is an efficient consultative model for researchers to gain community input on the development, implementation, or dissemination of a research project. The CE Studio was conducted to inform the design of a survey on dental care access, based on the social determinants of health. Parents or caregivers of adolescents with limited access to dental care living in an underresourced area in Buffalo, New York, participated in the session, providing valuable insights and recommendations for the survey's construction.Results: The CE Studio participants provided valuable feedback, including suggestions for motivating participation in the survey, changes in demographic questions, and the survey layout. Furthermore, the participants provided new insights into their dental access experiences and barriers to care, leading to additional questions for the survey. Finally, the participants suggested strategies to streamline survey instructions, provided their preferred wording for survey items and recommended how questions should be displayed to future research participants. Overall, 130 edits were made to the original survey, yielding a clearer, more representative, and accessible format.Conclusion: CE Studios can positively impact the design of recruitment materials, survey materials, and question structures in community-focused dental health research.","PeriodicalId":94108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144217959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Outcome variables were self-reported poor oral health and significant tooth loss (i.e., < 20 permanent teeth). Participants were categorized into three groups as US natives, naturalized citizens, or noncitizen residents. The analytical sample comprised 13,424 older adults (ages 60+), including 10,087 US natives, 2280 naturalized citizens, and 1057 noncitizen residents. We assessed the trends in poor oral health and significant tooth loss across the three groups and conducted analyses stratified by race/ethnicity to examine within-group disparities.Results: From 1999 to 2018, noncitizen residents consistently showed higher rates of poor oral health and significant tooth loss compared to US natives and naturalized citizens. Multiple logistic regression model results showed that naturalized citizens were less likely (AOR = 0.79, p = 0.03) to report poor oral health. Stratified analyses by racial/ethnic groups showed that among Blacks, naturalized citizens were less likely to report poor oral health (AOR = 0.59, p = 0.02) than Blacks who were born in the US.Conclusion: While overall oral health improved among older immigrants from 1999 to 2018, oral health disparities persisted, especially between noncitizen residents and US natives. There were significant differences in oral health between Black immigrants and their US-born counterparts.

Regular dental care is essential for preventing tooth loss, especially among older adults. The aim of this study was to assess the association between veteran status, dental visits, and tooth loss among older male Americans.Methods: We analyzed data from the 2016 and 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys in a national cross-sectional study. The study focused on males aged 65 years and older, using descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses to measure the association between veteran status and having a dental visit < 1 year ago, and the loss of ≥ 6 teeth due to tooth decay or gum disease. The analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic factors, including age, race/ethnicity, and education level.Results: Veterans displayed a higher prevalence and increased odds of tooth loss compared to nonveterans after controlling for race and education. However, there was no difference in recent dental visits based on veteran status. The effect of dental visits on the odds of tooth loss indicated that veterans experienced a stronger protective effect of visits on tooth loss (OR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.31-0.37) than nonveterans (OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.37-0.45).Conclusions: Our findings indicate a potential opportunity to reduce disparities in tooth loss among older men.

Descriptive statistics and a multivariate logistic regression model were employed to examine the association between parental PSL benefit and child dental care utilization, accounting for various child and parent level covariates. All analyses were adjusted for complex survey design, and survey weights were used to get national estimates.Results: Seventy-six percent of children had at least one employed parent with PSL benefit in 2017-19. Among them, 44% of children had preventive visits, 45% had diagnostic visits, and 17% had treatment visits. The adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that children with parental PSL benefit had higher odds of having preventive dental visits (odds ratio [OR] 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.38) and diagnostic visits (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.03, 1.41) compared with children without parental PSL benefit.Conclusion: Parental PSL benefit was associated with augmenting the use of preventive and diagnostic dental care visits among children.

The goal was to understand public opinion trends and identify opportunities for targeted public health communication.Methods: We conducted a sentiment analysis utilizing a natural language processing technique. Specifically, we applied the Sentiment Intensity Analyzer tool to classify tweets related to CWF into negative, positive, or neutral categories. Additionally, a word co-occurrence network analysis was performed to explore key discussion themes. We also compared machine learning models to assess their accuracy in classifying tweet sentiments.Results: Analysis of the tweets revealed a balanced distribution of sentiments: 37.4% negative, 34.4% positive, and 28.2% neutral. Peaks in public engagement occurred between 2015 and 2016, with a subsequent decline after 2018. Sentiment spikes were often associated with significant events, including policy changes and media coverage. The word co-occurrence network highlighted recurring themes related to safety and dental health. Among the machine learning models evaluated, Logistic Regression demonstrated the highest accuracy in sentiment classification.Conclusions: Our findings highlight the polarized nature of public sentiment toward CWF and the temporal fluctuations in public engagement. These insights can inform public health policymakers in developing timely, targeted communication strategies. Specifically, efforts to engage neutral audiences through transparent messaging and counter misinformation during key periods may strengthen public trust in CWF. The application of machine learning in this analysis underscores its value in enhancing real-time monitoring and supporting evidence-based public health strategies.","PeriodicalId":94108,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health dentistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144046323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Descriptive statistics and odds ratios using chi-squared testing and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine analgesic and antibiotic prescriptions, as well as patient, visit, and hospital characteristics.Results: There were 1,838,729 weighted ED visits for NTDCs between 2018 and 2022, 1.3% of all visits. Findings demonstrate a continued decline in NTDC visits resulting in an opioid, with an increase in those with non-opioids. Overall, 25% of NTDC visits included an opioid analgesic in 2022, compared to 33% in 2018. The proportion of visits with non-opioid analgesics increased over the study period; nearly 60% of NTDCs seen in 2020 included a non-opioid analgesic.
