“Great idea to get the children involved! There is a particularly beneficial relationship surrounding a type of “child health hotline” where children can relate to children in more natural, spontaneous ways which results in changing behavior. And while your numbers demonstrating success are very impressive, how do you continue to ensure quality control to maintain this high level of success?”

“Targeting low-income folks is tremendous, and who doesn’t need a nudge to stop being afraid of the dentist!? Love the potential to empower the community! Can you tell me more about the invention your entry proposes? How does this "scholar promoter" idea work in practice?”
