Community health worker intervention to improve tooth brushing in young children: Results from a cluster randomized controlled trial

by

Authors: Molly A. Martin, David Avenetti, Helen H. Lee, Rachel Nordgren, Michael L. Berbaum, Yuwa Edomwande, Liyong Cui, Anna Sandoval

This study investigated the impact of a trial testing the efficacy of a CHW intervention to improve tooth brushing in low-income children. Oral-health-specific CHW services were not associated with improved brushing behaviors in these young children. However, caregiver involvement with brushing supported more quality brushing.
