Pacific Basin Dental Association. 2002. Working together to improve children's smiles: 2002 Pacific EHS/HS Oral Health Forum—Final report. Koror, PW: Pacific Basin Dental Association, 34 pp.

Annotation: This report describes activities of the Pacific Basin oral health forum held on November 14–15, 2002, in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. Participating jurisdictions included Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, American Samoa, and the four federated states of Micronesia. The purpose of the forum was to (1) develop model partnerships between Head Start programs and divisions of oral health for Pacific jurisdictions; (2) share ideas, best practices, and collaborative solutions to oral health problems among young children in these jurisdictions; (3) identify strategies and key roles for stake-holders and other entities for action; and (4) develop strategic action plans specific to each participating jurisdiction in the form of model Early Head Start oral health programs, as well as to strengthen Head Start oral health programs. The report presents information on the forum planning process, activities, and participants. [Funded in part by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
