Dexter receives recognition, award
Contributions to the promotion
of good oral health through the
development of the Anti-Smokeless
Tobacco Program for the Indian
people in the Portland Area Indian
Health Service has resulted in
recognition of Dr. Donald Dexter.
Dexter was awarded the U.S.
Public Health Service Achievement
Medal March 7, 1989 for his work
in the campaign which extended
from July 1987 through May 1989.
He is noted in a narrative by
Warm Springs Unit service director
Lee Loomis as being "instrumental"
in conducting a major study of
smokeless tobacco including usage
demographics, and attitudes and
behavior patterns of Indian youth
in the Northwest.
Information revealed by the study
has been used as baseline data for
the development of various cam
paigns aimed at young people and
the reduction and abatement of
this potentially deadly behvior. Al
though the perils of smokingtobac
co have been known for many
years, the dangers of smokeless
tobacco has been a recent develop
ment. According to Loomis, "The data
revealed by this study, along with
the professional manner in which it
was presented has been responsible
for a significant demand for its
further exposure to other profession
als within the Indian Health Service,
the State of Oregon, and on a
national level.
Dexter has been featured as a
speaker at numerous conferences
