Fluoride Varnish Program Catalog - Results of 2015-2016 Survey

This catalog contains information about the use of fluoride varnish in elementary schools, kindergarten through grade 12 in school year 2015-2016. The responders defined the use of fluoride varnish and/or having a fluoride varnish program differently, and answered accordingly. For example some programs did not answer ‘yes’ if they used fluoride varnish in addition to a sealant program. Some programs answered, yes, indicating fluoride varnish was not used in elementary schools. We were not able to clearly identify programs that offered only fluoride varnish. The number of programs and contacts may have change.
