Final Report: Oral Health Policy Advocacy Pathways
This report created by a team of public policy students provides a comprehensive overview of the oral health policy landscape as it pertains to refugee communities in North Carolina. First, they examined survey data evaluating Refugee Community Partnership’s (RCP) volunteer Language Navigator program and conduct a literature review discussing relevant political conditions, barriers, and past oral health policy interventions. Then they presented thematic conclusions and a power map relying on a series of nineteen interviews conducted with oral health policy stakeholders in North Carolina. Considering RCP’s positionality in the oral health policy landscape, they conclude with a series of recommendations regarding potential advocacy avenues.
