This study examines the attitudes of both dentists and physicians on the role of the dental health care team in a cardiovascular risk factor reduction program directed at a general "well" population. A questionnaire was sent to a stratified sample of primary care dentists and physicians in the Augusta, Georgia, metropolitan area. The questionnaire was divided into four parts: the demographic component and three attitude components (the affective component, the cognitive component, and the action component). Results showed that dentists tended to have a positive attitude about performing cholesterol screening, nutrition counseling, and blood pressure screening in the dental office. Physicians tended to be negative about the idea of dentists performing cholesterol screening and nutrition counseling and were undecided about this role for dentists in a cardiovascular risk factor reduction program. Both dentists and physicians had positive attitudes about the idea of dentists referring high cardiovascular risk patients to physicians, as well as about the role of dentists in blood pressure screening. Overall, although dentists and physicians expressed concerns about the role of dentists in a cardiovascular risk factor reduction program, responses of both groups demonstrated a willingness to explore this concept further.
本研究调查了牙医和医生对于牙科保健团队在针对普通“健康”人群的心血管危险因素降低项目中所起作用的态度。一份问卷被发送给佐治亚州奥古斯塔市都会区的初级保健牙医和医生的分层样本。问卷分为四个部分：人口统计学部分和三个态度部分（情感部分、认知部分和行动部分）。结果显示，牙医倾向于对在牙科诊所进行胆固醇筛查、营养咨询和血压筛查持积极态度。医生则倾向于对牙医进行胆固醇筛查和营养咨询的想法持否定态度，并且对于牙医在心血管危险因素降低项目中的这一角色尚无定论。牙医和医生对于牙医将心血管高风险患者转诊给医生的想法以及牙医在血压筛查中的作用都持积极态度。总体而言，尽管牙医和医生对牙医在心血管危险因素降低项目中的作用表示担忧，但两组的回答都表明他们愿意进一步探讨这一概念。
