Early head start, pediatric dental use, and oral health-related quality of life.
The objective of the study was to examine the mediating effect of child dental use on the effectiveness of North Carolina Early Head Start (EHS) in improving oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). It concluded that EHS increases child dental use, which worsens family OHRQoL. However, EHS is associated with improved OHRQoL overall.

Enrollment in early head start and oral health-related quality of life.
Researchers examined the effect of enrollment in North Carolina Early Head Start (EHS) - a federally funded early education program for children under three years of age and their families - on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Their study is the first to demonstrate that families of young children enrolled in EHS report improved OHRQoL compared to their non-enrolled peers.

Impact of early head start in North Carolina on dental care use among children younger than 3 years.
The researchers examined the effects of North Carolina Early Head Start (EHS), an early education program for low-income children younger than 3 years and their families, on dental care use among children. They concluded that EHS participation increases dental care use among disadvantaged young children.
