Description

This talk was part of the Workshop 'Beyond advocacy to action for oral health: the key role of Civil Society'.

This Workshop was designed to go beyond advocacy and formulate a research action plan that will firmly establish the place of civil society in reshaping the future of the Dental profession, as this cannot be successfully achieved without the public voice.

Organisers : Peter Mossey/ Deborah Weisfuse
Key words : Civil society, public voices, participatory research
