X2 Utilization and Training Survey: 1989. Volume 1. Introduction, Methods, and Major Policy Issues

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore policy options for the training and utilization of 91EX2s (Preventive dentistry specialist with expanded dental functions). Five study populations were surveyed, including (1) DENTAC commanders, (2) x2 graduates, (3) clinic chiefs, (4) potential x2 students, and (5) doctors who have worked with x2s within the past year. Data were collected from self-administered questionnaires. Findings show a shortage of dental hygienists in the Army, especially in CONUS assignments, a consensus for longer x2 training, and efficient x2 utilization post x2 training. Keywords: Expanded dental functions; Dental hygiene; Dental hygienists; Training; Utilization; Surveys.
