Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Mean Percentage of Correct Skills

  Skills were observed by pediatric dentists for each resident utilizing a six item checklist 3 months after the intervention (HOT) was completed.Each correct skill demonstrated was scored as 1 (16.67%) with a maximum of 6 representing 100%.The mean pecentage of correct skills were measured by direct observation by a pediatric dentist among the WBT alone and WBT+HOT groups

  3 months after Hands-on Training (HOT)

• Percent Change From Baseline in Confidence at 4 Months

  Confidence was measured by self-administered surveys regarding knowledge and practice of oral health. The surveys used a 4 point Likert scale (1=not confident, 4=very confident).The mean percent of change in the responses of "very confident" was compared between both groups. The percentage change equals {(mean score at 4 months-mean score at baseline)/ mean score at baseline} \*100%

  Baseline and 4 months

• Percent Change From Baseline in Opinions Regarding Incorporating Oral Health Into a Well Child Visit at 4 Months

  Opinions regarding incorporating oral health into a well child visit was measured by self administered surveys. The surveys used a 4 point Likert scale from 1 for (strongly disagree) to 4 for (strongly agree). Mean percentage change in the "agree" and "strongly agree" responses by the residents was compared between both groups. The percentage change equals {(mean score at 4 months-mean score at baseline)/ mean score at baseline} \*100%

  Baseline and 4 months

• Percent Change From Baseline in Practice of Oral Health Based on Pre and Post Study Chart Audit at 6 Months

  The mean percent change in the documentation of oral health components at a well child visit. This was done by an audit of a random selection of 5 charts of patients who came in for well child visits, completed by each resident at baseline and at 6 months later.We scored this utilizing a 4 item checklist each correct item was scored as 1 (25%), with a maximum of 4(100%). The percentage change used the following formula {(mean score at 6 months-mean score at baseline)/mean score at baseline}\*100%
