About the course
|
This course aims to provide an in-depth understanding of methods for assessing the oral health status of populations. It includes a description of the diagnostic criteria that can be readily understood and applied in public health programmes worldwide.
The basic oral health surveys methodology follows the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, which helps to conduct standardized oral health surveys that are comparable internationally. These guidelines have been elaborated for practical and economical sample designs suitable for recording the prevalence of oral diseases required for planning oral health programmes.
In addition, WHO sets out clear principles for summarizing data and analyzing results.
Adoption of this approach will:
encourage systematic reporting of data on oral diseases and conditions;
ensure that the data collected are reliable and comparable;
encourage collection of data on self-reported oral health and risk factors.
