Methodology Notes:

The Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD) collects information through a questionnaire that is distributed to all State Dental Directors and the DC. Each Director completes the questionnaire annually and a summary of the report is placed on the ASTDD website (www.astdd.org). The survey contains a number of questions that focus on the state dental program components and the data collection efforts and monitoring of oral health surveillance measures.

This objective differs from Healthy People 2010 objective 21-15 in that objective 21-15 tracked States that recorded and referred children with cleft lips and palates. For Healthy People 2020, objective 21-15 was split into two objectives: OH-15.1, which tracks States that have a system for recording children with cleft lips and palates, and OH-15.2, which tracks States that have a system for referring children with cleft lips and palates.
