Summary

This project aims to identify whether an oral health peer education strategy can influence the level of functional literacy and oral health attitudes of adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. An experimental study will be carried out, a non-randomized controlled community trial, with two groups of educational strategy in oral health: peer education (experimental group) and conventional education (control group). For data collection, three questionnaires will be applied: for socioeconomic, demographic and dental data; assessment of oral health literacy (BOHL-AQ); and assessment of oral health attitudes; the last two being applied before and after the intervention.

Interventions

Peer education

An initial assessment will be carried out to determine the socioeconomic, demographic profile and dental data and baseline data on literacy and attitudes related to oral health through questionnaires, after which participants will be invited to participate in a cycle of oral health education activities for three months on the experimental group (peer-based education). After the experimental stage, the literacy and attitudes questionnaires related to oral health will be reapplied, so that a comparative analysis can be carried out within and between groups.

An initial assessment will be carried out to determine the socioeconomic, demographic profile and dental data and baseline data on literacy and attitudes related to oral health through questionnaires, after which participants will be invited to participate in a cycle of oral health education activities for three months on the control group (dentist lecture). After the experimental stage, the literacy and attitudes questionnaires related to oral health will be reapplied, so that a comparative analysis can be carried out within and between groups.
