The purpose of the investigation was to assess the attitudes concerning water fluoridation among Swedish dentists just having completed their dental education. All senior dental students (168) at the four Swedish dental schools were handed a questionnaire during the last week of November 1974. By the end of February 1975, 98% of the respondents, now dentists, had returned their questionnaires. Water fluoridation was considered by the average respondent to be quite economical and effective but only slightly advisable; 72% expressed approval and support of water fluoridation; 15% expressed indecisiveness; 12% expressed negative views. The negative attitudes were associated with misconceptions concerning economy, technical efficiency, safety and effectiveness. Many respondents, even those who expressed support of water fluoridation, displayed misconceptions concerning the effectiveness of water fluoridation in relation to topical application of fluorides and to the administration of fluoride tablets.
该项调查的目的是评估刚完成牙科教育的瑞典牙医对水氟化的态度。1974年11月的最后一周，瑞典四所牙科学院的所有高年级牙科学生（168人）都收到了一份问卷。到1975年2月底，98%的受访者（现在是牙医）返还了问卷。平均每位受访者认为水氟化相当经济有效，但只是稍有可取之处；72%的人表示赞成并支持水氟化；15%的人表示犹豫不决；12%的人持负面看法。负面态度与对经济性、技术效率、安全性和有效性的误解有关。许多受访者，甚至那些表示支持水氟化的人，对水氟化相对于局部用氟化物和服用氟化物片剂的有效性也存在误解。
