No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Tooth decay is a preventable disease occurring at high rates among American Indian (AI) populations. The use of entertaining educational materials and cultural adaptation have shown success in improving health behaviors. This trial will test changes in AI parents' knowledge, attitudes and behaviors related to their child(ren)'s oral health after utilizing a culturally adapted children's book/eBook, versus a standard oral health pamphlet developed by the NIH. I hypothesize that the parents in the intervention (book) group will exhibit greater improvement of these measures.
