This tool provides practical tips and guidance for an oral health provider1 and/or stakeholder undertaking a community oral health needs assessment. It includes information and instruction on the stages of a needs assessment, letting the oral health provider/stakeholder efficiently complete the process as part of their work.

What’s inside:

  • An overview of the type of information an oral health provider/stakeholder needs to consider when creating a profile of the community.
  • A list of resources to help guide the information gathering process.
  • A checklist to perform an analysis of how to use the information, prioritize efforts, and create an action plan.
