The information presented in this paper was obtained as part of an ongoing longitudinal study of 1982 dental hygiene graduates. This portion of the study was contracted by the American Dental Hygienists' Association and provides information about method and amount of remuneration, fringe benefits, pay increases, and amount of money generated from dental hygienists' services. Data presented here were collected at two points in time: September 1985 and September 1986. The September 1985 survey was returned by 850 dental hygienists (83%) and the September 1986 survey was completed by 766 subjects (77%). Data were analyzed for clinical dental hygienists working in traditional and nontraditional settings. Results showed that most dental hygienists were salaried (80% traditional, 100% nontraditional) with a 1985 mean annual income of $19,160 for traditional and $17,197 for nontraditional hygienists. The mean daily wage in 1986 was $106.27 for traditional and $85.12 for nontraditional hygienists. Nontraditional hygienists were more likely to have received a pay increase in the previous six months and to receive fringe benefits than were traditional hygienists. Wages earned and money generated from dental hygiene services varied greatly. On the average, hygienists' wages constituted about one-third of the fees their services generated.
本文所呈现的信息是作为一项对1982年毕业的牙科保健员进行的持续纵向研究的一部分而获得的。该研究的这一部分由美国牙科保健员协会承包，提供了有关薪酬方法和金额、附加福利、加薪以及牙科保健员服务所产生的收入金额的信息。此处呈现的数据是在两个时间点收集的：1985年9月和1986年9月。1985年9月的调查问卷由850名牙科保健员（83%）回复，1986年9月的调查问卷由766名受试者（77%）完成。对在传统和非传统环境中工作的临床牙科保健员的数据进行了分析。结果显示，大多数牙科保健员是受薪的（传统环境中为80%，非传统环境中为100%），1985年传统环境中的牙科保健员平均年收入为19,160美元，非传统环境中的为17,197美元。1986年传统环境中的牙科保健员平均日工资为106.27美元，非传统环境中的为85.12美元。与传统牙科保健员相比，非传统牙科保健员在过去六个月更有可能获得加薪并享受附加福利。牙科保健服务的收入和产生的资金差异很大。平均而言，保健员的工资约占其服务所产生费用的三分之一。
