Presentation transcript:

When we received the final numbers, we were surprised to have greatly overshot our benchmarks of 60 adults and 125 children. We reached 110 parents, with 8 prenatal and with 235 children of which 127 were 0-3 years old. Lawndale hosted 46 parents, with 4 prenatal and 120 children of which 61 were 0-3 years old. Englewood hosted 19 parents, with 4 prenatal and 24 children of which 20 were 0-3 years old. Lastly, Hermosa hosted 45 parents, with 91 children of which 46 were 0-3 years old. Over the course of the Happy Smiles!/Sonrisas! program, over 10 home educators were trained in the Happy Smiles!/Sonrisas! curriculum, activities, and approaches. The first run impacted 110 parents and 235 children, of which 127 were 0-3 years old. Parents went from a self- assessed 67% understanding oral health care to 92% understanding oral health care. This program showed a positive impacted in all three communities, which included a Spanish speaking population. This program was also launched through a sustainable train-the-trainer model, which allows for this curriculum to further impact the populations served in the Englewood, Lawndale, and Hermosa centers. Future impact of Happy Smiles!/Sonrisas! is expected to increase by at least another 100 parents and 200 children per year as long as the current home visiting division is funded. The home visitors have all of the tools, training, and knowledge they need to continue this program and train further staff members to perpetuate the curriculum. Olivia Desormeaux University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL Happy Smiles!/Sonrisas! Happy Smiles!/Sonrisas! was a pilot program that was implemented across three Chicago early childhood education centers in diverse neighborhoods: Hermosa, Englewood, and North Lawndale. The program was presented in both Spanish and English as the Hermosa center is staffed with bilingual home visitors and serves a mostly Spanish speaking population. The curriculum was developed as a combination of many existing evidence- based curricula. Home visitors were trained in the curriculum and then they ran the twelve-week sessions with their local participants. This was a sustainable model where the home visitors could continue producing the program long after the Program Coordinator left. Happy Smiles!/Sonrisas! curriculum development began in fall 2013, a grant was procured in spring 2014, and the pilot series ran over the summer 2014 with final evaluation stretching into fall The program is still being implemented today. ConclusionResults & Project Impact The curriculum was designed and written by Olivia Desormeaux under the supervision of Crystal Elliott-O’Connor and Keisha Farmer- Smith. Lesson plans, modalities, and activities from over 10 different evidence-based oral health curricula were utilized and synthesized to form the Happy Smiles!/Sonrisas! curriculum. A previous survey given to the populations served informed where gaps in knowledge were and what priorities to address. Growth in knowledge was measured with pre- and post- surveys offered in participants’ preferred language. Survey questions targeted knowledge of oral health, frequency of care, access to care, and self-confidence regarding oral health care. Some of them are listed below: 1.How often do your 0-3 year old children brush their teeth? 2.With 1 as “could be improved”, and 5 as “ideal”, rank your views, ideals, and parenting practices in regards to your children’s oral health care. 3.With 1 as “least”, and 5 as “most”, how fun is it brushing your 0-3 year old kids’ teeth? 4.With 1 as “could be improved”, and 5 as “ideal”, rank your kids’ oral health. 5.Do you know how to access local free/reduced cost oral care services? 6.With 1 as “could be improved”, and 5 as “best”, rank your understanding of proper oral health care for your children. 7.What causes tooth decay? 8.By what age should a child be seen by a dentist? 9.Toothbrushes should be replaced every_____ months. 10.What’s the most appropriate action when a tooth has been knocked out? 11.When you brush your teeth, approximately how long does it take? 12.How long has it been since your 0-3 year old children have visited a dentist?
