Abstract

Approximately 25--30 per cent of operational time in the School Dental Programme is assigned to dental health education, representing a sizeable investment of public resources. If the full potential of dental health education is to be realized, the respective effectiveness of various dental health education activities need to be identified so that the more effective activities can be emphasized and developed further. As an essential prerequisite there is a need to refine the evaluation process by introducing: (1) improved dental indices; (2) improved methods of classifying and maintaining records of the dental health education activities undertaken; (3) better methods of quantifying dental care items and other social and environmental covariables; and (4) more sophisticated forms of multivariate analysis.

摘要

在学校牙科项目中，约25%至30%的运营时间用于牙齿健康教育，这意味着公共资源的大量投入。若要充分发挥牙齿健康教育的潜力，就需要明确各种牙齿健康教育活动的相应成效，以便着重强调并进一步发展更有效的活动。作为一项基本前提，有必要通过引入以下措施来完善评估过程：（1）改进牙齿指数；（2）改进对所开展的牙齿健康教育活动进行分类和记录保存的方法；（3）更好地量化牙齿护理项目及其他社会和环境协变量的方法；（4）更复杂的多变量分析形式。
