Abstract

Background

Racism negatively affects the life experiences and subsequent health of Black men, including oral disease prevalence and outcomes. Few examples in the literature discuss how racism may affect successful, unsuccessful, and non-attempts to address Black men's oral health.

Aims

This commentary describes anti-racism approaches to address Black men's oral health through community-based participatory research, oral health promotion, and workforce recruitment.

Materials and Methods

Stakeholders from two organizations and one dental school share their experiences and key insights on how to strengthen efforts while minimizing the influence of racism on Black men's participation.

Results

Common insights identified were a need to engage a diverse range of Black men within varying social and economic contexts, race and gender concordance among program leaders and participants, and the value of partnership to reach Black men in places where they feel comfortable and supported.

Discussion and Conclusion

These examples stress the imperative of addressing racism among Black men in the development and improvement of targeted oral health interventions. They also emphasize the value of commitment from institutional leadership, relationship building with Black men, and the empowerment of Black men to lead program development and implementation efforts.

通过社区参与研究和劳动力招聘解决黑人男性口腔健康问题

种族主义对黑人男性的生活经历和随后的健康产生负面影响，包括口腔疾病的患病率和结果。文献中很少有例子讨论种族主义如何影响成功、不成功和不尝试解决黑人男性口腔健康的问题。本评论描述了通过社区参与性研究、口腔健康促进和劳动力招聘来解决黑人男性口腔健康问题的反种族主义方法。材料和方法来自两个组织和一所牙科学校的利益相关者就如何加强努力，同时最大限度地减少种族主义对黑人男子参与的影响分享了他们的经验和关键见解。共同的见解是需要在不同的社会和经济背景下吸引不同范围的黑人男性，项目领导者和参与者之间的种族和性别一致性，以及在黑人感到舒适和支持的地方与他们建立伙伴关系的价值。讨论和结论这些例子强调了在制定和改进有针对性的口腔健康干预措施时解决黑人男性种族主义问题的必要性。他们还强调机构领导承诺的价值，与黑人建立关系，以及赋予黑人领导项目发展和实施工作的权力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Dentistry is devoted to the advancement of public health dentistry through the exploration of related research, practice, and policy developments. Three main types of articles are published: original research articles that provide a significant contribution to knowledge in the breadth of dental public health, including oral epidemiology, dental health services, the behavioral sciences, and the public health practice areas of assessment, policy development, and assurance; methods articles that report the development and testing of new approaches to research design, data collection and analysis, or the delivery of public health services; and review articles that synthesize previous research in the discipline and provide guidance to others conducting research as well as to policy makers, managers, and other dental public health practitioners.
