口腔健康是整体健康的重要组成部分。来自服务不足、少数群体的儿童（即，黑人/非裔美国人，自闭症儿童）在经历口腔健康差异的风险更大。本研究旨在阐明自闭症和非自闭症儿童的黑人/非洲裔美国人照顾者的口腔健康知识，态度和做法。黑人/非洲裔美国人照顾自闭症谱系（n = 65）或非自闭症谱系（n = 60）的儿童（4至14岁），参加了一项调查，从文献综述，访谈，以前的研究和专家评论的输入。照顾者表现出口腔健康的基本知识，自闭症儿童的照顾者的得分显着较低。护理人员关心口腔健康，并希望增加他们的知识。自闭症患者和非自闭症患者在口腔护理方面存在显著差异。照顾者报告说，他们可以相对轻松地获得牙科服务，包括为孩子找牙医，安排牙科预约，以及使用交通工具（个人或公共）参加访问。自闭症儿童和非自闭症儿童的黑人/非裔美国人照顾者似乎对口腔健康和基本实践有基本的知识;然而，他们有兴趣学习更多。因此，量身定制的口腔健康教育计划可能有助于减轻黑人/非洲裔美国人家庭的口腔健康差异。
Oral health is a vital component of overall health. Children from underserved, minoritized populations (i.e., Black/African Americans, autistic children) are at even greater risk for experiencing oral health disparities. This study aims to illuminate the oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Black/African American caregivers of autistic and non-autistic children. Black/African American caregivers of children (4-to-14 years) on the autism spectrum (n = 65) or not on the autism spectrum (n = 60), participated in a survey, with input from literature reviews, interviews, previous research, and reviews by experts. Caregivers demonstrated basic knowledge of oral health with significantly lower scores for caregivers of autistic children. Caregivers care about oral health and would like to increase their knowledge. Significant differences in oral care practices were found between the autistic and non-autistic groups. Caregivers reported they can access dental services with relative ease, including finding their child a dentist, scheduling a dental appointment, and accessing transportation (personal or public) to attend the visit. Black/African American caregivers of autistic children and children without autism seem to have foundational knowledge about oral health and basic practices; however, they are interested in learning more. Therefore, tailored oral health education programs may help mitigate oral health disparities for Black/African American families.
