Problem:
A community health clinic located in an underserved rural community has hired a dental hygienist to design and implement a program to reduce early childhood caries (ECC). Most of the population does not benefit from community fluoridated water, nor are school-based fluoridation programs available. During initial research, the dental hygienist learns that a strong coalition within the community opposes any type of fluoridation. To prioritize needs, goals and objectives the program administrator has recommended use of the SMART formula. The clinic, funded by a state agency, hopes to expand oral services to older children and adults in the next few years. The SMART formula for use in program planning for developing goals and objectives includes each of the following components EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION? Need Assignment Help? A. Specific B. Measurable C. Assessable D. Realistic or related
