American Dental Hygienists' Association
National Dental Hygiene Research Agenda (NDHRA)
Achieving national health objectives
should be an inherent part of the professional activities of dental hygienists.
Both inside and outside of the research arena, it is important for practitioners,
who provide the greatest representation of the profession to the public,
to make decisions that are firmly grounded in knowledge that is obtained
from research and clinical experiences. The National Dental Hygiene Research
Agenda provides directions to hygienists on priority research areas that
can help advance the profession. The professional community must commit
to using the NDHRA to guide research, enhance patient-centered care, improve
the quality of services and foster other professional efforts.
