IMPLEMENTATION
Through partnerships with trusted community-based organizations, community outreach events, and ethnic media outreach, we provided in-language and culturally relevant materials to educate the importance of oral health to families, caregivers, seniors and children.
​
​
Community round tables and focus groups were conducted to inform the content, design and messaging of materials for AAPI communities. In-language materials, including illustrated booklet and transcreated pamphlets, were developed to reduce language barriers and convey vital information related to their oral health and dental benefits.
