Montpellier Santé Orale: mOralHealth precariousness 

Project summary:

As part of the Montpellier Santé Orale program, we would like to work on improving the oral health of people in precarious and very precarious situations. As Montpellier Santé Orale is the first implementation of the WHO's mOralHealth program, the WHO is very interested in the evaluations we can make of the implementation of their program. The target population is the most similar to those the WHO hopes to reach worldwide with the mOralHeath program. We will be working with the Office National de l'Immigration et de l'Intégration (OFII), the ADAGES association, a home for homeless people, and the social action department of the city of Montpellier. Together, we'll be rolling out oral health prevention campaigns for these target groups, using not only SMS messages but also videos tailored to these specific audiences to improve their oral health literacy. In addition, we will train professionals in oral health. Finally, we'll be setting up oral health teleconsultations in facilities that cater for these populations, so that we can identify their care needs and direct them to the appropriate practices or facilities. We hope to be able to assess the impact of these various initiatives on the target audience.
