ref:_00DU0YCBU._500U0LFCCd:ref ]
Dear Ms.
Kopf:
This note is
in response to your June 29, 2015, inquiry about CDC’s involvement with the
Cochrane report, Water Fluoridation to Prevent Tooth Decay. CDC did not fund the
2015 Cochrane review of fluoridation research. However, through a competitive
process, the Cochrane Oral Health Group was awarded a contract in 2011 to update
all of the oral health reviews in The Guide to Community Preventive Services
(www.thecommunityguide.org). Among these was a water fluoridation review that
included most of the same studies that were included in the recent Cochrane
review.
CDC staff
were invited to and did participate in providing review and comments to a draft
of the Cochrane publication. As noted in the Acknowledgements section of the
report, “the review does not reflect the views of all
referees.”
We hope you
find this information helpful.
