Multi-media professional development for parenting educators to deliver oral hygiene education for parents of young children

项目总结/摘要 在美国，大约三分之一的2至5岁儿童经历过龋齿（牙齿 衰变）。美国儿科牙科学会和美国儿科学会提供 建议的预防策略，并认识到，婴儿，幼儿和幼儿口腔健康是 预防教育和牙科保健的基础之一，必须建立在增加的机会， 终身免受可预防的口腔疾病。家长们努力采取这些预防策略， 同时，儿童心理发展中也出现了挑战性行为。这种组合可以 这使得建立AAPD推荐的口腔健康实践的基础变得非常困难。有很强 支持使用行为养育策略来处理儿童行为问题的证据。 拟议的项目介绍了行为家长培训战略，努力解决其他问题， 已知的父母障碍，以提供有效的工具，促进牙齿健康与普遍预防 干预 俄勒冈州研究行为干预策略，俄勒冈州之间的私人/公共合作 研究所和俄勒冈州社区基金会利用资源和能力， 商业上可行的协调口腔健康预防干预计划BeReady 2Smile的原型 （BR2S）。该计划促进牙齿健康，目标是参加育儿的幼儿家长 教育班和家庭接受家访服务，通过开端。创新的努力 是引入行为父母培训策略，与努力解决其他已知的父母 我们的目标是通过全面的预防干预措施，为促进牙齿健康提供有效的工具。的 该计划包括一个视频，可以在育儿教育课程中播放，让父母参与口腔健康 和一个移动的/网络应用程序来推动行为改变。第一阶段项目是在这项工作的基础上， 专业的发展工具，准备育儿教育工作者使用BeReady 2Smile在两个育儿组 和家访设置。该项目具有同步和异步组件，并支持远端 培训缺乏专门口腔健康培训的育儿教育者。这种可扩展和可持续的方法， BeReady2Smile_ProD，改进BeReady 2Smile（BR 2 S）的传播和实施，并将 使育儿教育工作者能够使用基于家庭和基于小组的交付方式来交付BeReady 2Smile 方法论。该计划的长期目标是帮助父母提供终身免费的基础 可预防的口腔疾病。

Project Summary/Abstract Approximately one out of three 2- to 5-year-old children in the United States has experienced caries (tooth decay). The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and American Academy of Pediatrics provide recommendations for preventive strategies, and recognize that infant, toddler and early childhood oral health is one of the foundations upon which preventive education and dental care must be built to enhance the opportunity for a lifetime free from preventable oral disease. Parents struggle to adopt these preventive strategies at the same time that challenging behaviors emerge in children's psychological development. This combination can make it very difficult to build the foundation of oral health practices that the AAPD recommends. There is a strong body of evidence supporting the use of behavioral parenting strategies in dealing with child behavioral problems. The proposed project introduces behavioral parent training strategies in concert with efforts to address other known parental barriers to provide an effective vehicle to promote dental health with a universal prevention intervention. A private/public collaboration between Oregon Research Behavioral Intervention Strategies, Oregon Research Institute & Oregon Community Foundation leveraged resources and competencies to create a prototype of a commercially viable coordinated oral health prevention intervention program, BeReady2Smile (BR2S). The program promotes dental health and targets parents of young children attending parenting education classes and families receiving home visiting services through Head Start. The innovation in the effort was to introduce behavioral parent training strategies, in concert with efforts to address other known parental barriers, to provide an effective vehicle for promoting dental health with a universal prevention intervention. The program includes a video that can be shown in parenting education classes to engage parents on oral health and a mobile/web application to drive behavioral change. This Phase I project builds on that work by providing professional development tools to prepare parenting educators to use BeReady2Smile in both parenting group and home visit settings. The project features synchronous and asynchronous components and supports distal training of Parenting Educators who lack specialized oral health training. This scalable and sustainable approach, BeReady2Smile_ProD, improves the dissemination and implementation of BeReady2Smile (BR2S) and will enable Parenting Educators to deliver BeReady2Smile using both Home-based and Group-based delivery methodologies. The long-term goal of the program is to help parents provide the foundation for a lifetime free from preventable oral disease.
