In an effort to help increase the patient pool at BostOn University Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry, dental screening programs were begun in 1983, which focused at targeting the college student population as prospective clinical patients.
The following study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the screening programs, conducted during the fall of 1986, in recruiting dental patients for the school and ascertain specific reasons which expediate or preclude college students from utilizing the dental services at Boston University. The results of the study demonstrate the moderate success of the screening programs and indicate the need for continued efforts in improving the visibility and organization of the screening sessions at the college institutions participating in the Dental Screening Programs.
