The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Thursday, December 23, 2021
Dear John
The Health Affairs office is closed tomorrow. Health Affairs Today will
return to your inboxes on Monday after the holiday weekend
Oral Health: Funders & More
The December 2021 GrantWatch column
,
by Lee L. Prina, was about what funders are supporting in oral health
care.
The column highlighted foundations from across the country. Among these
are the Rasmuson Foundation, which provided funding in Alaska for the
rural training component of a dental health aide therapist program in
remote areas.
The column also described two philanthropies' grants to Oral Health
Kansas to advocate for comprehensive Medicaid adult dental benefits.
Further, Prina wrote about Arcora Foundation's funding for a feasibility
study-and pending its results-implementation of community water
fluoridation for Spokane, Washington.
Another recent article in the November issue of Health Affairs also
discussed oral health.
Brandy Lipton and coauthors examined survey data and determined that
adult Medicaid dental coverage
is associated with a 5-percentage-point reduction in the prevalence of
untreated caries among children in low-income families after
Medicaid-enrolled adults had access to dental coverage for at least one
year.
In a February 2020 Health Affairs Forefront article, Melissa Burroughs
and coauthors outlined important administrative actions and legislative
opportunities
that the Biden-Harris administration could take to better ensure the
oral health, health, and economic well-being of all Americans.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Brendan Carr and coauthors argue that
COVID-19 has demonstrated the connection betweenprivate-sector interests
and the need to ensure the public's health.
