Database Title:
2009 Colorado Urban Dentist Survey
Organization:
Colorado Health Institute
Description or Purpose
Many Coloradans have difficulty getting access to the oral health care they need, not only in rural areas but also in urban locations. In order to address this problem, policymakers at both the state and local levels need a better understanding of the training, practice and reimbursement issues related to recruiting and retaining dentists throughout Colorado’s urban communities.
The Colorado Health Institute (CHI) was asked by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Oral Health Program to survey Colorado’s non-rural dentists to provide a more comprehensive picture of the state’s dental workforce. The survey was mailed in July 2009 to a stratified random sample of 887 dentists in urban and suburban areas of the state.
