Development of a Parents' Short Form Survey of Their Children's Oral Health.
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry 2018 November 28
BACKGROUND: Parents play an important role in their children's oral health behaviors, provide oral health access, initiate prevention, and coping strategies for health care.
AIM: This paper develops a short form (SF) to assist parents to evaluate their children's oral health status using Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) framework that conceptualized health as physical, mental, and social components.
DESIGN: Surveys of parents were conducted at dental clinics in Los Angeles County, together with an onsite clinical exam by dentists to determine clinical outcomes, Children's Oral Health Status Index (COHSI) and referral recommendations (RRs). Graded Response Models in Item Response Theory was used to create the SF. A toolkit including SF, demographic information and algorithms were developed to predict the COHSI and RRs.
RESULTS: The final SF questionnaire consists of 8 items. The square root means squared error for the prediction of COHSI is 7.6. The sensitivity and specificity of using SF to predict immediate treatment needs (binary RRs) are 85% and 31%.
CONCLUSIONS: The parent SF is an additional component of the oral health evaluation toolkit that can be used for oral health screening, surveillance program, policy planning and research of school-aged children and adolescents from guardian perspectives.
