title: A profile of women dentists.
abstract: This investigation examines female dentists' employment status, practice characteristics, annual income, job satisfaction, familial status, and relationships with colleagues and staff. A questionnaire was constructed using a yes/no response, short answer, and multiple choice format. The instrument was mailed to a random sample of 2,000 female dentists in September 1988. Fifty-four percent (1,086) of the sample population responded to the single mailing. More than 80% are satisfied with their dental career and current practice arrangement. The majority of these women described their working relationship with male and female colleagues and staff as excellent.
