Infrastructure Development ToolsThese resources are provided to assist directors of state oral health programs to plan, develop, implement, and evaluate oral health promotion and disease prevention efforts. The activities listed below describe key components of an effective oral health program, similar to those described in the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD) report, Building Infrastructure & Capacity in State Oral Health Programs—April 2000* (PDF–308K). Tools are offered to aid those responsible for day-to-day program planning and management, implementation, building of partnerships, and evaluation. CDC provides funding and technical assistance to help state and territorial health agencies develop and operate public health programs to improve oral health. Funds have been awarded to 12 states and the Republic of Palau under Program Announcement 3022, State-based Oral Disease Prevention Programs. This approach promotes key program activities and components. Resources and tools developed in collaboration with funded states to build program capacity and infrastructure are being made available on this Web site for interested state and local programs. Strategies to enhance state infrastructure also are shared with states through periodic Web conferences. Activity 1: Leadership Capacity Activity 2: Oral Disease Burden Document Activity 3: State Oral Health Plan Activity 4: Statewide Oral Health Coalition Activity 5: Oral Disease Surveillance System Activity 6: Policy and Health Systems Strategies Activity 7: Partnership Development Activity 8: Evaluation of Oral Health Programs Activity 9: Community Water Fluoridation Program Activity 10: School-based/school-linked Dental Sealant Program Additional Resources CDC Web conference Series for State Oral Health Programs Beginning in 2004, CDC initiated a series of Web-based educational presentations to extend access to information provided to states that have a CDC cooperative agreement to those state programs that do not receive these funds. The intent of this series is to enable all states to learn more about ways to build infrastructure and capacity and develop their State-Based Oral Disease Prevention Programs. This medium affords nonfunded states the opportunity to interact with nationally recognized speakers and receive information that funded states have requested. Previous sessions have focused on using logic models, building and sustaining public health coalitions and supporting state surveillance systems. Previous Web conferences
