Parental Attitudes, Beliefs And Behaviors About Caries Prevention Among Black Preschool Children, Rachel Clarke
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic conditions that affect children in the U.S. Non-Hispanic Blacks are among the children facing the greatest racial and ethnic disparities in caries experience and treatment. Parents play a significant role in ensuring the success of preventative measures aimed at reducing prevalence of early childhood caries. It is therefore important for public health professionals to understand the oral health, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of Black parents in order to effectively design and tailor interventions for caries prevention among preschool children.
The twofold purpose of this study was to: (a) determine whether attitudes, …
