Dr. Douglass also presently serves as the Chief of Service for Dentistry and Oral Surgery in the Cambridge (Massachusetts) Health Alliance which includes 3 hospitals, 2 health departments, and 21 ambulatory care centers in Cambridge, Somerville, and Everett, Massachusetts. A major component of Professor Douglass’ research over the past decade has been the development of methods for combining epidemiological data, demographic trends and patient utilization behavior to document current movements and future expectations regarding the need and demand for dental services. Contrary to initial expectations during the early 1980s of reduced need, his analyses have instead demonstrated that the use of dental services increased during the 1980s and 1990s and that this trend should continue well into the 21st century. His application of behavioral, epidemiological and public health data to this problem was the first to demon-

The National Institutes of Health’s role in supporting research has long been recognized as a major factor in advancing the health needs in the nation and the world. The National Research Council was charged with the responsibility of periodically assessing the National Institutes of Health’s National Research Service Awards program, thus this book is the twelfth edition in the series. While the National Research Service Awards program now supports only a fraction of the training in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences, it sets a high standard for the training in all doctoral programs in these fields. Also included are the training needs of oral health, nursing, and health services research. This book has been broadly constructed to take into account the rapidly evolving national and international health care needs. The past and present are analyzed and predictions with regard to future needs are presented.
