While desired skills are outlined below, all who have interest in the project are encouraged to apply.

DPHI Background Information:
Nearly all oral diseases and conditions are preventable, including dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal (gum) disease. However, at least 80% of Americans aged 6 and older have experienced dental caries, the rate of periodontal disease remains high among adults, and disparities persist by race/ethnicity and poverty status. The impact of untreated oral disease also goes well beyond localized pain and discomfort. Oral diseases are intimately connected to systemic health, economic productivity, academic achievement, and overall quality of life. For these reasons and more, oral health is more than just a concern for the dental community.

Gillings has a long, rich history of dental public health education and research, as detailed in the book, First in the Nation, written by Dr. Gary Rozier – HMP Emeritus Professor. The new DPHI will build on this legacy to ensure public health and non-public health students and practitioners understand oral health as a key component of overall health and consequently, public health. Ultimately, the initiative seeks to build the capacity of current and future multidisciplinary workforces to improve population oral health.

To inform the core work of the DPHI, the views and perspectives of statewide stakeholders will be solicited through key informant interviews.

Job Description
The graduate assistant will help finalize the key informant interview question sets, coordinate interview times for approximately twenty (20) key informants, independently conduct and transcribe interviews, and analyze and summarize responses into themes, where appropriate. As time permits, the graduate assistant may also assist with the development of a summary report.

The DPHI is looking for a graduate assistant who will bring one or more of the following knowledge, skills and abilities to the project:

-Strong verbal and written skills.
-Experience conducting key informant and/or focus group interviews.
-Experience with qualitative data analysis and related analytic tools (ie NVivo)
-Oral health background is preferred but not required.
