Objective(s): To obtain information from a group of school children between the ages of 10 - 15 years regarding their understanding of dental health and knowledge about dental disease prevention. The information gathered will be made available to the local Health Boards. This information can then be used to assist the local Health Authorities to develop programs that will provide dental health information and assist in establishing programs on dental disease prevention for the communities.
Project Description: The researchers will provide survey questionnaires to Principals of elementary schools to distribute to appropriate classrooms. The classroom teacher will conduct the survey with the class and then return the completed forms to the Principal for return to the investigator. Approximate time to complete the questionnaire is 30 minutes.
