2023 AADOCR/CADR Annual Meeting
The 2023 AADOCR/CADR Annual Meeting & Exhibition provided dental, oral, and craniofacial health scientists with the opportunity to present, discuss, and critique their latest and most cutting-edge research at a 100% in-person gathering in Portland, Oregon. The meeting was attended by 2,054 individuals from 39 countries.The recordings in this library from the meeting are a selection of the science that was presented at the Annual Meeting. These recordings give you the opportunity to participate in the meeting and hear from leading researchers. The recordings include IADR Distinguished Lecture Series speakers and symposia from a collection of scientific groups and networks.

Session Description
Health Services Research (HSR) is a multidisciplinary field of scientific investigation that studies how social factors, financing systems, organizational structures and processes, health technologies, and personal behaviors affect access to health care, the quality and cost of health care, and ultimately our health and well-being. The growing recognition of structural determinants of health has helped in the evolution of the scope of HSR with an increased focus on equity issues. It has facilitated to increase the applicability of HSR research to better address issues of access and health equity to improve the health of the entire population. This symposium will discuss current HSR that addresses the roles of racism and discrimination in oral health outcomes including oral health status and access to and utilization of care. The symposium will focus on both the methodological issues and the interpretation of outcomes at the population level within oral HSR. This symposium will start with research presenting the relationship between state-level indices for racism and its components with disparities in dental care utilization by children. The discussion will further focus on a new theoretically-derived scale of dignity in dental encounters to document experiences of discrimination and dignity in dental encounters among a national sample of survey respondents. The symposium will also put a spotlight on the accuracy of capturing race and ethnicity data within big data, its validity with a dental data repository, and its utilization for research. The final presentation in the symposium will discuss how the interactions of mental health and oral health behaviors inequitably impact the oral health quality of life in racial minority populations.
