Oral Health Conceptual Knowledge and Its Relationships with Oral Health Outcomes: Findings from a Multi-Site Health Literacy Study

摘要

ObjectivesIn 2010, a health literacy instrument designed to measure oral health conceptual knowledge was introduced. This developmental work was limited in that it included a relatively small and homogeneous study population and few oral health measures against which to test concurrent validity. The purpose of the present investigation is to expand upon the earlier work by utilizing a larger study sample and additional outcome variables.
