Community Catalyst’s Dental Access Project worked with oral health advocates and organizers across the country to better understand how they think about and incorporate principles of oral health equity and community engagement into their policy advocacy. This relational work led to the development of a new Oral Health Policy Equity Tool. A user-friendly, interactive resource, the tool is designed to help key stakeholders center equity and community engagement in oral health policy agenda-setting. It is flexible and can be used to foster important advocacy conversations or analyze a specific piece of legislation or a comprehensive policy agenda.
