Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Health Training Program for Pediatric Residents (NCT NCT00846066)
NCT ID: NCT00846066
Last Updated: 2015-08-14
Results Overview
Skills were observed by pediatric dentists for each resident utilizing a six item checklist 3 months after the intervention (HOT) was completed.Each correct skill demonstrated was scored as 1 (16.67%) with a maximum of 6 representing 100%.The mean pecentage of correct skills were measured by direct observation by a pediatric dentist among the WBT alone and WBT+HOT groups

Participant Flow
All Pediatric residents, in the Continuity Clinic Rotation (CCC) at a general pediatric ambulatory clinic, in an urban tertiary care children's hospital, were invited to participate. Residents in any year of training were considered eligible for the study, recruitment took place in January, 2007
59 participants were evaluated for the pre-test knowledge, they were next administered the Web Based Training and were then evaluated for the post-test knowledge. 56 participants were then randomized into two groups, 3 were excluded, (2 refused consent and 1 deviated from the protocol).

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and 4 monthsPopulation: Only completed paired (pre/post intervention) surveys were analyzed
Confidence was measured by self-administered surveys regarding knowledge and practice of oral health. The surveys used a 4 point Likert scale (1=not confident, 4=very confident).The mean percent of change in the responses of "very confident" was compared between both groups. The percentage change equals {(mean score at 4 months-mean score at baseline)/ mean score at baseline} \*100%

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and 4 monthsOpinions regarding incorporating oral health into a well child visit was measured by self administered surveys. The surveys used a 4 point Likert scale from 1 for (strongly disagree) to 4 for (strongly agree). Mean percentage change in the "agree" and "strongly agree" responses by the residents was compared between both groups. The percentage change equals {(mean score at 4 months-mean score at baseline)/ mean score at baseline} \*100%

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: At baseline and 6 monthsPopulation: Analysis per protocol. Subjects dropped from analysis because charts not available within the time frame of the study and incomplete data.
The mean percent change in the documentation of oral health components at a well child visit. This was done by an audit of a random selection of 5 charts of patients who came in for well child visits, completed by each resident at baseline and at 6 months later.We scored this utilizing a 4 item checklist each correct item was scored as 1 (25%), with a maximum of 4(100%). The percentage change used the following formula {(mean score at 6 months-mean score at baseline)/mean score at baseline}\*100%
