Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure	Partnered Intervention The aspects of the partnering package of evidence-based intervention strategies are: (1) written agreements of collaboration for dental screening, health promotion, and incentives; (2) culturally-tailored and language-specific adaptation of materials; (3) demonstrations with role-playing of proper brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing techniques; and (4) CHW follow-up with patients of oral health care receipt and dental hygiene behaviors. Additionally, bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) CHWs will receive additional training in oral health promotion demonstration, oral health services and programs available at local clinics and hospitals, information about dental and health insurance, and evidence-based oral health behaviors. Partnered intervention: CHWs will provide dental education and counseling, lead interactive demonstrations of brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing, and improve access to dental care through dental coverage enrollment and linkage to local dentists.
