First 5 LA, the Annenberg Foundation, and California Wellness Foundation aree forming a strategic partnership to jointly support a $710,000 Oral Health Needs Assessment (OHNA) Project that will: - Collect information about the status of children's oral health needs in L.A. County
- Survey and assess the capacity of oral health care resources available to children in L.A. County
First 5 LA will leverage up to $237,000 of its funding from the Oral Health and Nutrition (OHN) Expansion and Enhancement Project. The OHNA Project will produce critically needed data that will inform the OHN Project's policy, public education, and direct services objectives. The Annenberg Foundation and California Wellness Foundation have already approved $159,000 and $185, 000, respectively, to the OHNA Project, and other funding commitments are expected.
The University of Southern California School of Dentistry will lead the Project's implementation activities. The data produced through this strategic partnership will also help inform other county-wide planning and policy development efforts as they relate to improving the oral health status of children and families.
