This study investigates the relationship between Pacific children's cultural orientation and oral health, after adjusting for potentially moderating and confounding variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The Pacific Islands Families (PIF) study follows a cohort of Pacific infants born in 2000. PIF study participants' data from their last dental examination were extracted from service records, and matched to the cohort. A bi\u2010directional acculturation classification, derived from maternal reports, was related to children's oral health indices in crude and adjusted analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>1,376 children were eligible, of whom 922 (67.0 percent) had mothers born outside New Zealand. Matching was successful for 970 (70.5 percent) children, with mean age 12.2 years (range: 6.8, 15.4 years). Significant differences were found between acculturation groups for children's tooth brushing frequency and school dental service enrollments but these differences did not moderate relationships between acculturation and oral health status. Unmet treatment need was significantly different between acculturation groups, with children of mothers having higher Pacific orientation having worse unmet needs than those with lower Pacific orientation. No other significant differences were noted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Pacific children carry a disproportionate oral health burden, particularly amongst those with mothers more aligned to their Pacific culture. Strategies which enable Pacific people to re\u2010shape their oral health understanding, together with reducing barriers to accessing dental health care, are needed to prevent a legacy of poor oral health in Pacific people within New Zealand.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jphd.12202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,7]],"date-time":"2017-02-07T05:42:43Z","timestamp":1486446163000},"page":"225-233","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Acculturation and its impact on the oral health status of Pacific children in New Zealand: findings from the Pacific Islands Families study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"77","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6799-6779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philip J.","family":"Schluter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences University of Canterbury \u2013 Te Whare W\u0101nanga o Waitaha Christchurch New Zealand"},{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work The University of Queensland Brisbane Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sathananthan","family":"Kanagaratnam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Auckland Regional Dental Service, Waitemata District Health Board Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Steve","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology Auckland University of Technology Auckland New Zealand"},{"name":"Centre for Pacific Health and Development Research Auckland University of Technology Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"El\u2010Shadan","family":"Tautolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Pacific Health and Development Research Auckland University of Technology Auckland New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j..2003.com122.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1875-595X.2011.00028.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034511402079"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"212","article-title":"An introduction to oral health inequalities among Indigenous and non\u2010Indigenous populations","volume":"60","author":"Mejia GC","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int Dent J."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10903-010-9414-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/10472-004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511489891.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","volume-title":"2013 Census \u2013 major ethnic groups in New Zealand","author":"Statistics New Zealand","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","volume-title":"Pacific progress: a report on the economic status of Pacific peoples in New Zealand","author":"Statistics New Zealand","year":"2002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","unstructured":"Ministry of Health.Tupu Ola Moui: Pacific health chart book 2012.
