The safety and effectiveness of LTAPP has not been established therefore; the purpose of this study was to determine if LTAPP along with H2O2 gel would safely and effectively accelerate the tooth whitening process, in terms of lightness and temperature. Two treatment groups were utilized: 36% H2O2 gel only and 36% H2O2 gel plus LT APP. Control group received no treatment. Experimental teeth were exposed to LT APP at …

Maximizing Treatment Fidelity In Public Health Clinical Trials, James Alan Neff
Community & Environmental Health Faculty Publications
(First paragraph) In relatively few pages (1), Professor Borelli provides a cogent overview of one of the vexing issues in assessing whether public health interventions “work.” The comprehensiveness of the presentation, covering issues ranging from treatment development through outcome evaluation, makes the article a valuable resource for practitioners and students in a variety of disciplines. Of particular value is the detailed template listing fidelity assessment strategies at the Treatment Design, Provider Training, Treatment Delivery, Treatment Receipt, and Treatment Enactment Stages.

Background
Dental health is a neglected aspect of adolescent health globally but more so in low-income countries. Secondary analysis using the 2004 Zambia Global School-Based Health Survey (GSHS) was conducted in which we estimated frequencies of relevant socio-demographic variables and explored associations between selected explanatory variables and self-reported poor oral hygiene (not cleaning or brushing teeth) within the last 30 days of the completion of questionnaire.
Findings
Most of the 2257 respondents were males (53.9%) and went hungry (82.5%). More than 4 in 10 respondents drank alcohol (42.2%) while 37.2% smoked cannabis. Overall 10.0% of the respondents reported to have …
