Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Parent-reported Tooth Brushing Frequency

    parents will be asked how often the child's teeth are brushed

    12-months post-randomization

  • Child Dental Plaque Score

    Disclosing solution is applied to child's teeth, images are taken, and plaque score is determined using the Oral health Index - Maxillary Incisor Score (OHI-MIS). The buccal surfaces of teeth #D, E, F, and G were scored from 0-3, with 3 being the worst (plaque on more than 2/3 of tooth surface) and 0 being the best (no plaque present). The four individual tooth scores (or less if child did not have four teeth) were then added and divided by the number of teeth for a final average score ranging from 0-3.

    12-months post-randomization

Study Arms (2)

CHW Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention is community health worker (CHW) services. CHWs trained in oral health will be assigned to half of the sites. Participants in these sites will be offered four in-person visits and follow-up phone calls over 12-months. These visits can occur at the location of the family's preference (recruitment site, home, or mutually-agreed upon other location). A core curriculum of oral health topics will be covered during visits, with an emphasis on developing and sustaining healthy oral health management routines for the entire family.

Behavioral: Community Health Worker (CHW) services

Wait-list Control Arm

NO INTERVENTION

This arm will receive usual care. After completion of the final data collection at one year, participants and sites allotted to this arm will be offered CHW services.

Interventions

CHWs are non-clinical people who provide education, care coordination, and support to families.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Three years after the end of the CO-OP Chicago research activity, data will be publicly released. Data will be maintained by the study team, in partnership with the community clinical partner. Registration will be required to access or download data files. Registered users will receive technical assistance with questions or problems from the Methodology Research Core (MRC) at the University of Illinois at Chicago's Institute for Health Research and Policy or from the UCSF Coordinating Center. A data sharing agreement will be required that will describe the conditions and restrictions of their use; limited data access will be made available only to users who successfully complete a rigorous approval process by both the investigators and the community partners. Data sets will be encrypted for transfer to approved investigators.
