fa Validation of the Hong Kong Oral Health Literacy Assessment Task for Paediatric Dentistry (HKOHLAT-P) کودکان Pediatric Dentistry پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Background</strong></p><p>  Oral health literacy is a newly emerging field with considerable research potential. Aim To validate an original instrument, the Hong Kong Oral Health Literacy Assessment Task (HKOHLAT-P) for paediatric dentistry. </p><p> <strong>Design</strong></p><p>  A convenient sample of 200 child/parent dyads attending a dental hospital in Hong Kong was selected. Convergent validity was tested by examining the association of HKOHLAT-P scores with those derived from the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Dentistry (TOFHLiD) and Hong Kong Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry (HKREALD-30). The predictive validity of HKOHLAT-P was determined by testing the association between HKOHLAT-P and children's caries experience (dmft) and the Chinese Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS). The test-retest reliability and internal consistency of HKOHLAT-P were also evaluated. </p><p> <strong>Results</strong> </p><p> HKOHLAT-P was positively correlated with TOFHLiD and HKREALD-30 (P < 0.01), and was negatively correlated with children's dmft and ECOHIS. In the regression model, HKOHLAT-P was associated with TOFHLiD, HKEALD-30, children's dmft, and ECOHIS (P < 0.05) after controlling for participants' demographic characteristics. The intra-class correlation coefficient of HKOHLAT-P was 0.63 and the Cronbach's α was 0.71. </p><p> <strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>  Initial testing of HKOHLAT-P suggested that it is a valid and reliable instrument. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>International Journal of ‍ Pediatric Dentistry</p><p><a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ipd.12021/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff"> Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-2495&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Hai Ming Wong wonghmg@hkucc.hku.hk 100319475328460011875 100319475328460011875 Yes Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China Susan M.
