This study investigated differences in high school students' subjective and objective knowledge- and concerns about preventing caries and/or erosive tooth wear and the associations between these variables.
A survey was conducted among students at 16 high schools in Norway. The survey included a range of fact-based questions to measure objective knowledge about caries and erosive tooth wear, as well as questions about students' perceptions of his/her own knowledge (subjective knowledge) and concerns about preventing the two conditions.
There were small differences in subjective knowledge about caries and erosive tooth wear among the 784 students who completed the survey ( < .01). However, students scored significantly higher on objective knowledge about caries (mean 2.99) than about erosive tooth wear (mean 1.45), < .01, and seemed to confuse the two conditions. By contrast, students scored significantly worse on questions about beverages' potential to cause caries (mean 5.18) than to cause erosive tooth wear (mean 6.30), < .001. Finally, objective knowledge about caries was positively associated with subjective knowledge about caries, but corresponding associations could not be found for erosive tooth wear.
Knowledge about caries and erosive tooth wear seemed to be confused among Norwegian high school students.
本研究调查了高中生在预防龋齿和/或牙齿磨损方面的主观和客观知识及担忧的差异，以及这些变量之间的关联。
对挪威16所高中的学生进行了一项调查。该调查包括一系列基于事实的问题，以测量有关龋齿和牙齿磨损的客观知识，以及关于学生对自己知识的认知（主观知识）和对预防这两种情况的担忧的问题。
在完成调查的784名学生中，关于龋齿和牙齿磨损的主观知识存在微小差异（<0.01）。然而，学生在关于龋齿的客观知识（平均2.99）上的得分显著高于关于牙齿磨损的客观知识（平均1.45），P<0.01，并且似乎混淆了这两种情况。相比之下，学生在关于饮料导致龋齿可能性（平均5.18）的问题上的得分显著低于导致牙齿磨损可能性（平均6.30）的问题，P<0.001。最后，关于龋齿的客观知识与关于龋齿的主观知识呈正相关，但在牙齿磨损方面未发现相应的关联。
挪威高中生似乎混淆了关于龋齿和牙齿磨损的知识。
