Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Oral health is a significant contributor to public health and is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a major global health concern. Notably, one in two adults suffer from dental decay ,with oral diseases ranking among the most prevalent non-communicable disease (NCDs) . Thus, public health programs focus on modifying lifestyle factors for prevention rather than treatment. In developed countries , public health programs have successfully improved oral health through dietary and lifestyle modifications, as well as fluoride use .

Furthermore, oral health professionals have a crucial in role in influencing the behaviors of their patients and preventing oral diseases .Therefore, enhancing oral health knowledge is essential for positive health behaviors and hence better oral health outcomes .

The Hiroshima University - Dental Behavioral Inventory (HU-DBI) by Kawamura will be used as a validated instrument to assess oral health-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors (KAB).

The assessment will include 20 HU-DBI items, which employ a dichotomous response format (agree/disagree). However, only 12 items will be used to calculate the overall KAB score, which will range from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating better oral health KAB.
