On September 2020, Elham Kateeb, an associate professor of Dental Public Health at the Faculty of Dentistry published a study in collaboration with the University of Washington titled “Factors influencing dentists' willingness to treat Medicaid‐enrolled adolescents” in the Journal of Public Health Dentistry.
The study aimed to identify factors influencing dentists' willingness to treat Medicaid‐enrolled adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Washington state. The results of this study demonstrated that reimbursement and appointment keeping were the most important determinants of dentists' willingness to treat Medicaid‐enrolled adolescents with IDD.
