Abstract：
The behavioral and social sciences are central to understanding and addressing oral and craniofacial health, diseases, and conditions. With both basic and applied approaches, behavioral and social sciences are relevant to every discipline in dentistry and all dental, oral, and craniofacial sciences, as well as oral health promotion programs and health care delivery. Key to understanding multilevel, interacting influences on oral health behavior and outcomes, the behavioral and social sciences focus on individuals, families, groups, cultures, systems, societies, regions, and nations. Uniquely positioned to highlight the importance of racial, cultural, and other equity in oral health, the behavioral and social sciences necessitate a focus on both individuals and groups, societal reactions to them related to power, and environmental and other contextual factors. Presented here is a consensus statement that was produced through an iterative feedback process. The statement reflects the current state of knowledge in the behavioral and social oral health sciences and identifies future directions for the field, focusing on 4 key areas: behavioral and social theories and mechanisms related to oral health, use of multiple and novel methodologies in social and behavioral research and practice related to oral health, development and testing of behavioral and social interventions to promote oral health, and dissemination and implementation research for oral health. This statement was endorsed by over 400 individuals and groups from around the world and representing numerous disciplines in oral health and the behavioral and social sciences. Having reached consensus, action is needed to advance and further integrate and translate behavioral and social sciences into oral health research, oral health promotion and health care, and the training of those working to ensure oral health for all.
摘要：
行为和社会科学是理解和解决口腔和颅面健康的核心，疾病,和条件。有了基本方法和应用方法，行为和社会科学与牙科和所有牙科学科相关，口服,和颅面科学，以及口腔健康促进计划和医疗保健服务。理解多层次的关键，对口腔健康行为和结果的相互作用影响，行为和社会科学关注个人，家庭,groups,文化,系统,社会,regions,和国家。独特的定位是强调种族的重要性，文化,以及口腔健康方面的其他公平，行为和社会科学需要关注个人和群体，社会对它们的反应与权力有关，以及环境和其他背景因素。这里提出的是通过迭代反馈过程产生的共识声明。该声明反映了行为和社会口腔健康科学的当前知识状态，并确定了该领域的未来方向，重点关注4个关键领域：与口腔健康相关的行为和社会理论和机制，在与口腔健康相关的社会和行为研究和实践中使用多种新颖的方法，开发和测试行为和社会干预措施，以促进口腔健康，以及口腔健康的传播和实施研究。该声明得到了来自世界各地的400多名个人和团体的认可，代表了口腔健康以及行为和社会科学的众多学科。达成共识后，需要采取行动来推进和进一步整合行为和社会科学并将其转化为口腔健康研究，口腔健康促进和保健，以及对确保所有人口腔健康的工作人员的培训。
