Proceedings from the 2024 AIDPH Colloquium

The 2024 AIDPH Colloquium, titled “Community Collaboration in Dental Research: Advancing Person-Centered Outcomes,” took place from March 25 to 27 in Chicago, Illinois. This event was dedicated to building skills and learning strategies for engaging in patient-centered outcomes research and comparative clinical effectiveness research (PCOR/CER). At the heart of AIDPH’s colloquia is the exchange of ideas and collaboration. Participants enhanced their knowledge and expertise in community dental research through a blend of networking activities, didactic presentations, panel discussions, and roundtables. The agenda was crafted to foster both personal and professional growth, driving insightful discussions and broadening perspectives by showcasing participant research, outcomes, and frameworks in community-driven oral health.

This Book of Proceedings serves as a valuable resource repository for past and future attendees, providing an overview of each presentation, photos from throughout the event, a special callback to our inaugural awards ceremony, and abstracts for each session, roundtable, and poster presentation for participants to proudly share their work.
