The work on inclusivity and engagement (aim 1) follows two lines: a scoping review is being written on citizens inclusion in research using a micro-sociological critical approach. Meanwhile efforts are made to increase representation of vocationally trained participants in the Sarphati Ethnography and AIMS cohorts.
To map the system around oral disease and overweight (aim 2) we focus on Amsterdam North. Contacts have been made with various neighborhood organizations. Key figures in the local community have been identified via neighborhood-tables for residents. The PhD student has started interviewing parents. Also, oral hygiene students have asked families from the neighborhood how they perceive the role of the living environment on their lifestyle related choices regarding food and physical activity.
This has resulted in a bachelor thesis. A scoping review regarding indicators for lack of access to care or avoidance of care is under way.
