![Seven Recommendations to Boost Oral Health Advocacy Efforts](/sites/default/files/Webinar_SPEAKERS_State%20of%20Oral%20HC_800X339_2.jpg)
What can oral health advocates, funders, and community-based organizations (CBOs) do to improve the oral health of underserved communities?
Earlier this year, Community Catalyst, a national nonprofit advocacy organization seeking to improve health care, and CareQuest Institute embarked on a research project to answer that question. The result is a roadmap — which will serve as the foundation for this webinar — to more effectively build partnerships that promote sustainable, equity-informed, community-driven advocacy.
Authors on the project will share their knowledge and expertise as they unpack seven recommendations, which focus on advocacy practices that are valuable to the oral health field.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify opportunities and barriers related to oral health advocacy and community engagement.
- Explain how funders can meaningfully contribute to advocacy efforts within oral health.
- Discuss strategies for strengthening oral health advocacy at the state level and incorporating community engagement to achieve a more equity-informed approach.
- Implement tools — including the Equity and Community Engagement in Statewide Oral Health Policy report — that help stakeholders practice sustainable, equity-informed, community-driven advocacy.
