Mission of Mercy (MOM) Study
As an update from our September newsletter, our collaboration with the University of Maryland's Mission of Mercy (MOM) Study was a great success! Our team is thrilled to have been a part of such an innovative and philanthropic event, and we look forward to continuing our partnership. Many thanks to Drs. Stephen Thomas and Susan Passmore for spearheading this collaboration!
In the two-day event, we recruited MOM attendees to learn about the social stressors (e.g. trauma and violence) they experience, as well as other factors that affect oral, mental, and heart health. Attendees were asked to complete MOM Study activities on their smartphones while they wait to be seen for dental services. Of the nearly 1,000 attendees at MOM, 24% had smartphones and were able to participate in our research.
Volunteers and community leaders continue to do tremendous work to service disadvantaged and minority groups to alleviate health disparities in our communities.
MOM is a non-profit organization that provides free medical and dental services to economically disadvantaged people — a group that may have high risk for periodontitis, mental, and heart health-related problems. Learn more about the Mission of Mercy!
We continue to accomplish a lot together.
