Healthy family traditions and personal health assets – salutogenic resources for oral health among young adults in vulnerable communities in South Africa: a qualitative study
Salutogenic resources for oral health empowered individuals from vulnerable communities to maintain oral health. This suggests that future health promotion interventions should be considered and directed at multiple levels, targeting individual, family, community, and structural factors to promote sustainable oral health.
