Sažetak
The promotion of health through public health programmes is one of the fundamental health policy activities of every country. Social medicine, as part of public health, implements prevention programmes and activities across all population segments aiming to improve health. The aim of this paper is to determine the success of implementation of the Public Oral Health Prevention Programme for Children and deviation factors in the observed time period. The effects of the health promotion process through public health programmes can be covered after a longer time period, at least of about ten years. The Children's Oral Health Promotion Programme was launched with the goal to improve it, and harmonise it with the WHO indicators in the process. This paper aims to estimate the effectiveness of the Oral Health Programme for pre-school and school-age children implemented for 11 years by the Teaching Institute of Public Health as the regional institutional unit within the network of public health institutes in the Republic of Croatia. The starting point of the research is descriptive statistics for the period from the beginning of the implementation of the programme, i.e. the school year 2008/2009 to 2018/19. Preschool children (1-5 years), children before they start attending primary school (six- year-olds), and school-age children (the Vth class – twelve-year-olds) were observed. For the purpose of health assessment, oral health indices were analysed in relation to those determined by the World Health Organisation: the DFT Index, the KIO (caries- free children, TN) Index, the DMF Index, and the RI Index. The research is based on a holistic approach to efficiency measurement using the combination of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) that enable the estimation of relative effectiveness within an organisational unit in a time series. The Children's Oral Health Programme can be viewed from the perspective of the strategic map of the Organisational Unit Social Medicine used as a communication tool of the Balanced Scorecard methodology for better understanding of causal relationships between goals within perspectives. The Oral Health Prevention Programme is an integral part of the Service Beneficiaries and Other Stakeholders perspective, where the goals are linked with increasing the number of public health prevention activities, improving the promotion of the programme in order to increase the quality and satisfaction of beneficiaries. The non-parametric approach using the DEA enables the estimation of relative effectiveness by a combination of inputs and outputs. The inputs used were data on the number of people engaged in the programme, the amount of programme implementation costs, and the outputs were the number of screened children of all ages and the values of individual indices. It is expected that the DEA will determine the correlation between the results and investment and, by comparing the best years, projections to the optimal level. On the basis of the obtained results, further research is planned on the effectiveness of other public health programmes and a comparison of the programmes implemented by other public health institutes in the Republic of Croatia
