2015 Dentist Well-Being Survey Report

The ADA Health Policy Institute, along with the ADA Council on Dental Wellness Advisory Committee (DWAC), surveyed in 2015 to examine various stresses that may affect dentists today. The survey includes questions regarding job satisfaction, workload, medical conditions, workplace safety, the effect of personal responsibilities on work, and the effect of health on work. Participants were professionally active, licensed dentists, along with ADA members. Results from the survey are intended to be used to design more effective education programs.
