我们描述了儿童早期龋齿（ECC）基础研究因素问卷（BRFQ）的发展，一组评估ECC常见潜在预测因子、中介因子和调节因子的措施。包括与高危人群口腔健康结果相关的个人，家庭和社区因素。制定与ECC有关的因素的标准措施有可能提高我们理解成功预防的机制和制定更有效干预措施的能力。由国家牙科和颅面研究所资助的儿童早期龋齿合作中心（EC 4）开发了BRFQ，用于四项随机试验，以开发和测试减少高危人群ECC的干预措施。来自各中心和NIDCR的45名研究人员参与了开发过程。8个“计量工作组”确定了相关的结构和有效的计量方法，然后将其归类为EC 4项目的“基本”或“可选”共同数据要素。基本CDE包括88个项目，另外177项措施被归类为可选CDE。基本CDE分为以下领域：口腔健康知识，口腔健康行为，利用/保险和成本，父母/照顾者牙科自我效能，生活质量，照顾者和家庭特征，儿童特征。BRFQ提供了一系列措施，支持了解ECC的人群风险因素，并比较风险人群的口腔健康结果。BRFQ开发过程可能对其他临床研究网络和其他健康研究领域的CDE开发联盟有用。所有使用BRFQ的试验均在Clinicaltrial.gov NCT 01116726（2010年4月29日）、NCT 01116739（2010年5月3日）、NCT 01129440（2010年5月21日）和NCT 01205971（2010年9月19日）注册。
We describe development of the Early Childhood Caries (ECC) Basic Research Factors Questionnaire (BRFQ), a battery of measures assessing common potential predictors, mediators, and moderators of ECC. Individual-, family-, and community-level factors that are linked to oral health outcomes across at-risk populations are included. Developing standard measures of factors implicated in ECC has the potential to enhance our ability to understand mechanisms underlying successful prevention and to develop more effective interventions. The Early Childhood Caries Collaborating Centers (EC4), funded by National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, developed the BRFQ, which was used across four randomized trials to develop and test interventions for reducing ECC in at-risk populations. Forty-five investigators from across the centers and NIDCR were involved in the development process. Eight “measures working groups” identified relevant constructs and effective measurement approaches, which were then categorized as “essential” or “optional” common data elements (CDEs) for the EC4 projects. Essential CDEs include 88 items, with an additional 177 measures categorized as optional CDEs. Essential CDEs fell under the following domains: oral health knowledge, oral health behavior, utilization/insurance and cost, parent/caregiver dental self-efficacy, quality of life, caregiver and family characteristics, and child characteristics. The BRFQ makes available a battery of measures that support efforts to understand population risk factors for ECC and to compare oral health outcomes across populations at risk. The BRFQ development process may be useful to other clinical research networks and consortia developing CDEs in other health research fields. All the trial that used the BRFQ were registered at Clinicaltrial.gov NCT01116726, April 29, 2010; NCT01116739, May 3, 2010; NCT01129440, May 21, 2010; and NCT01205971, September 19, 2010.
