Partnerships for health promotion are between two or more partners to work co-operatively towards a set of shared health outcomes; few public-private partnerships in oral health promotion have been established.
To undertake a detailed analysis of a unique global public-private partnership to promote oral health between a global company, Unilever and the Féderation Dentaire International (FDI), a membership organisation representing more than one million dentists worldwide.
Qualitative and quantitative, including: collating and analysing a wide range of partnership documents (n =164); reviewing film and pictorial records; undertaking structured interviews (n=34) with people who had a critical role in establishing and delivering the aims of the partnership, and external experts; and site visits to selected global projects active at the time of the evaluation.
Over 1 million people have been reached directly through their engagement with 39 projects in 36 countries; an oral health message about the benefits of twice daily tooth brushing has appeared with the authority of the FDI logo on billions of packs of Unilever Oral Care's toothpastes worldwide; many individual members of National Dental Associations have participated in health promotion activities within their communities for the first time; some organisational challenges during the development and delivery of the partnership were recognised by both partners.
The first phase of this unique global partnership has been successful in making major progress towards achieving its goals; lessons learned have ensured that the next phase of the partnership has significant potential to contribute to improving oral health globally.
健康促进伙伴关系是指两个或多个合作伙伴为实现一系列共同的健康结果而进行合作；在口腔健康促进方面，很少建立公私伙伴关系。
对联合利华（Unilever）与国际牙医师联盟（FDI）之间独特的全球公私伙伴关系进行详细分析，该伙伴关系旨在促进口腔健康，其中联合利华是一家全球性公司，而 FDI 是一个代表全球超过 100 万名牙医的会员组织。
包括定性和定量方法：整理和分析广泛的伙伴关系文件（n=164）；审查电影和图片记录；对在建立和实现伙伴关系目标方面发挥关键作用的 34 人（n=34）和外部专家进行结构化访谈；以及对评估时参与选定的全球项目的实地考察。
通过在 36 个国家的 39 个项目中的参与，直接覆盖了超过 100 万人；FDI 徽标授权的每天两次刷牙的口腔健康信息出现在联合利华口腔护理牙膏的数十亿支包装上；许多国家牙科协会的个别成员首次参与了其社区内的健康促进活动；合作伙伴双方都认识到在伙伴关系的制定和实施过程中存在一些组织挑战。
这个独特的全球伙伴关系的第一阶段已经成功地在实现其目标方面取得了重大进展；所吸取的经验教训确保了伙伴关系的下一阶段具有为全球改善口腔健康做出重大贡献的巨大潜力。
