A Mixed-Methods Study on Topical Fluoride Beliefs and Refusal Behaviors for Caregivers of Children with Special Health Care Needs
While caregivers of CSHCN were not more likely to refuse topical fluoride than caregivers of healthy children, there may be important differences in the underlying reasons for refusing topical fluoride
Topical fluoride hesitancy among caregivers
The resulting 33-item fluoride hesitancy item pool is content valid and will address an important need for identifying and addressing topical fluoride hesitancy in the context of dental research and clinical practice. Next steps include psychometric evaluation to assess scale and test-retest reliability and construct validity
Preventive dental care utilization and dental caries for Medicaid ‐enrolled adolescents in Oregon
Preventive dental care was not shown to be associated with lower untreated dental caries for Medicaid-enrolled adolescents or those with CC. Future work that is adequately powered should continue to elucidate this relationship in Medicaid enrollees
How young, disadvantaged fathers are affected by socioeconomic and relational barriers
This article is based on the interviews of nine young, socially disadvantaged fathers from the UK. Young fathers are more likely to experience socioeconomic deprivation and disrupted pathways towards parenthood, which affect their participation in socially accepted trajectories of ‘father involvement’. Whilst this has received some attention in research, studies have largely neglected to examine the lived experiences of such fathers directly. The…
The interactive effects of oral health literacy and acculturation on dental care use among Hispanic adults
There may be an interaction between oral health literacy and acculturation when modeling dental care use for Hispanic adults that should be further explored
Understanding topical fluoride hesitancy and refusal behaviors through the extended parallel process model and health belief model
Our findings were generally consistent with the EPPM and HBM, which appear to be relevant in understanding fluoride hesitancy behaviors. Additional research is needed on ways to improve provider communications about topical fluoride with caregivers
Talking Takes Off”
