Assessing Participants’ Feedback to Dental Screenings and Hygiene Care Provided by City Tech’s Dental Hygiene Students.
This study is a continuum of the dental screenings provided at the CUNY Graduate Center’s Wellness Fair in spring 2018. I received the opportunity to take part in this research and present it at New York City College of Technology Honors Scholar’s Poster Presentation.
The research was conducted under the supervision of Professor Susan Davide RDH, MS, MSEd, and Professor Audra Haynes RDH, MPH. The first part of the research includes dental screenings, assessments, and collection of the information of the participants. Following the dental screening, those participants who made an appointment received complimentary care at NYCCT’s Department of Dental Hygiene Clinic. The main goal of this study is to allow Dental Hygiene faculty and students to improve accessibility and strategies to increase public awareness of services, access to care, and patients recruitment opportunities.
