Over the past 10 years, the FDI-Unilever Brush Day & Night partnership has significantly influenced the life of children worldwide through the implementation of school programmes for oral health education and prevention. This article reports the key facts and outcomes of Phase III of the partnership, and announces the launch of Phase IV. During Phase III, the expert advisors of the Brush Day & Night partnership conducted a longitudinal study to evaluate the impact of the '21 Day' programme in almost 8,000 children in 10 countries. Analysis revealed the effectiveness of the 21 Day programme in sustainably educating children to brush their teeth twice a day, with the greatest impact observed in children aged 7-9 years. With the launch of Phase IV, the Brush Day & Night partnership will continue to deliver its oral health school programme for 7-9 year-old children with a strengthened methodology, including randomized sampling and control groups. The scope of the evaluation will be broadened to include oral health-related quality of life indicators, and monitoring of the oral health knowledge of children's parents/carers.
在过去的 10 年中，通过实施口腔健康教育和预防学校计划，FDI-联合利华白天和黑夜伙伴关系显著影响了全球儿童的生活。本文报告了伙伴关系第三阶段的关键事实和结果，并宣布启动第四阶段。在第三阶段，白天和黑夜伙伴关系的专家顾问进行了一项纵向研究，评估了在 10 个国家的近 8000 名儿童中实施“21 天”计划的影响。分析显示，21 天计划在可持续教育儿童每天刷牙两次方面具有有效性，在 7-9 岁儿童中观察到的效果最大。随着第四阶段的启动，白天和黑夜伙伴关系将继续为 7-9 岁儿童提供口腔健康学校计划，方法得到加强，包括随机抽样和对照组。评估范围将扩大到包括与口腔健康相关的生活质量指标，并监测儿童父母/照顾者的口腔健康知识。
