“…Communication, for example, has been previously identified as a barrier that influences perception of oral health and utilization of dental services . Although speaking a language other than English at home was not found to influence accuracy of perceived treatment need in this study, it has been associated with greater unmet treatment need in the literature . Population‐based surveys have a tendency to develop a bias toward selecting English‐speaking individuals, thus potentially negating the significance of language barriers .…”

“…Disparities in the oral treatment needs of migrant populations in Australia have been described in previous studies (2)(3)(4)(5). Overseasborn individuals have a similar lifetime dental-caries experience [decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT)] to Australian-born individuals, but a greater proportion of decayed teeth in the former indicate unmet treatment need (2). Migrant populations also have more periodontal disease than reported in the Australian population (2,4,6).…”

Migrant populations also have more periodontal disease than reported in the Australian population (2,4,6). Both untreated dental caries and periodontal disease have been identified in Greek, Italian, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Kampuchean-Laotian migrant communities, as well as in refugee and asylum-seeker groups (3,4,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate differences in self-perceived and dentist-determined treatment need in Australian-born and migrant residents of Australia. Participants in the National Survey of Adult Oral Health 2004-06 were categorized into six groups according to country of birth. Interview and examination data were used to analyze differences between self-perceived and the 'gold standard' examiner-determined treatment need, and to compare the accuracy of self-reporting according to country of birth. Self-reported treatment needs, defined as the need for a restoration and/or extraction, were cross-tabulated with clinically observed conditions and compared using a multivariable logistic regression model. Concordance between self-reported and clinically-determined treatment need differed significantly for migrants from Europe and the UK and Australian-born individuals. In the logistic regression model, stratification according to examiner-determined treatment need revealed significantly greater reporting of treatment need by Asian-born migrants than by the Australian-born reference group. The results of this study demonstrate that self-perceived treatment need was less than the examiner-determined findings in European and UK migrant groups and Australian-born individuals. Additionally, Asian migrants were more likely than Australian-born individuals to over-report treatment need for a filling and/or extraction.

“…This work consistently describes the barriers to access among migrants. 149,150 Brennan and Spencer 149 noted that service utilisation patterns were related to cultural factors within populations and it may be that groups who have little history of dental attendance do not adopt this behaviour immediately.…”

HS&DR programmeThe Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was established to fund a broad range of research. It combines the strengths and contributions of two previous NIHR research programmes: the Health Services Research (HSR) programme and the Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO) programme, which were merged in January 2012.The HS&DR programme aims to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services including costs and outcomes, as well as research on implementation. The programme will enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS and is keen to support ambitious evaluative research to improve health services.For more information about the HS&DR programme please visit the website: http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/hsdr This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HS&DR programme or one of its preceding programmes as project number 09/1004/04.
