Special Olympics, special smiles: assessing the feasibility of epidemiologic data collection



CA Feldman, M Giniger, M Sanders, R Saporito, HK Zohn, and SP Perlman
General and Hospital Dentistry, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, New Jersey Dental School, Newark 07103, USA.

No comprehensive national study has ever been completed on the oral health status of people with disabilities, their patterns of use of oral health services and access-to-care barriers. The authors describe the Special Olympics, Special Smiles program, conducted as part of the New Jersey Summer Special Olympics Games, and assess a pilot-tested model for collecting epidemiologic data. The results of this initial data collection are also compared with the goals of the U.S. Public Health Service, as outlined in the Healthy People 2000 publication.
