Wisconsin Dental and Oral Care Health Information Project: Outreach to Amish and Mennonite Communities


In alignment with the NLM mission to improve access, use, and understanding of health information for a priority health need, the Wisconsin Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG) proposes to improve dental and oral care hygiene and preventive care with the Amish and Mennonite communities located in the counties of Chippewa and Clark counties.

D.R. Moon Memorial Public Library in Stanley, Wisconsin, will develop a dental and oral health information print resource tailored to the Amish and Anabaptist communities in consultation with the local bishops. Content will be sourced from NIH, NLM, and other reliable resources and repurposed for cultural relevance, age-appropriateness, and ease of comprehending. All materials will include the sponsored agency funding statement and will be shared with NNLM.
