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（由申请人提供）：在过去的五十年中，美国eiders的口腔健康取得了巨大改善，但口腔健康状况的重要差距和获得护理的重要差异仍然存在于脆弱的，慢性病，穷人和“少数群体”长者之中。 我们提议将于2004年9月13日至14日在波士顿举行为期两天的研讨会。该研讨会计划作为“美国口腔健康：外科医生的报告：外科医生的报告”（2000年）的后续活动（2000年），将批判性地研究我们所知道的以及我们所知道的有关牙科护理和对牙科护理和口腔健康的确定性所需要了解的知识。我们将制定并优先考虑与老年人获得和融资口腔保健有关的研究的建议，以此，以制定计划改善服务不足长老的口腔医疗保健计划的计划。因此，本次会议的具体目的是：1。系统地审查社区住宅以及脆弱和机构化的老年人之间获得牙科护理的数据； 2。检查老年人中获得护理和口腔健康的决定因素； 3。检查穷人，种族和少数民族的进入和口腔健康的差异； 4。将美国牙科护理的访问与其他人口老龄化的发达国家的访问相提并论； 5。系统地回顾老年人之间牙科护理的融资，包括脆弱，美国和世界各地的贫困和种族群体；和6。描述我们所知道的，需要了解有关改善长者的口腔卫生保健的机会，包括将来为长者提供牙科护理的选择。在为期两天的研讨会之前，将准备对文献的系统评价，以作为背景论文。这些论文将根据研讨会的讨论进行修订，并提交了进一步研究和行动计划的建议，以作为牙科教育杂志出版的包装。研讨会和研究议程的摘要将提交美国牙科协会，牙科卫生事务和特殊护理以及AARP，老年女子联盟和灰色黑豹的消费者出版物的杂志。
