This epidemiological study was conducted to measure the oral health and related variables of one of Indiana's special population groups: adults who are developmentally disabled, work in sheltered workshops and do not live in staffed residential facilities. Fifteen sheltered workshops in ten Indiana counties cooperated with this study in which 393 individuals were interviewed and received oral screening. Information was gathered regarding oral health status, history of utilization of dental services, availability of dental insurance or Medicaid and use of tobacco products. This study was conducted by the Indiana Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped and was funded by the Indiana State Department of Health.
