Go First Class and the Effect on the Army's Wellness: A Program Evaluation on the Effects of Combining Treatment to Increase the Fighting Strength

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to determine if there was improvement in U.S. Army dental wellness (defined as Soldiers with no existing dental treatment needs),commonly referred to as Dental Readiness Classification (DRC) 1, in the direct aftermath of the Go First Class (GFC) initiative. The GFC initiative was implemented in 2013 with the intention of transforming Army Dentistry from a healthcare system to a system for health. The null hypothesis of this study was that the implementation of the Army Dental Corps GFC Initiative would not lead to a significant change in overall dental wellness as recorded by DRC1.
