Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Dental Program Evaluations: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Over the last 20 years, the disparity in oral health between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and other Australians has continued to grow. This suggests that further programmes and programme improvements are needed to reach equitable oral health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. This mixed methods systematic review aims to assess Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Dental Programme Evaluations by measuring outcomes and cultural safety via the Lowitja Institute Evaluation Framework to Improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health.
