An interventional study of Peer-led Oral Health Recovery Group and Educational Video about Oral Health in Oral Health, Dental Care and Psychiatric Diagnosis, sponsored by University of Michigan. Completed at 2 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-12.
Sponsored by University of Michigan · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The aim of the study is to test a brief, peer-led group-based oral health educational intervention - called the "Oral Health Recovery Group" - designed for individuals with psychiatric disabilities.
Participants at each site will obtain either: a) a Peer-led Oral Health Recovery educational group, representing the primary intervention; or b) viewing of an educational video about oral health, representing the comparison intervention. After participating in either condition, an onsite Peer staff member will offer to help the participant make a dentist appointment. They will follow up with the participant as needed for a two-month period to help arrange dental care and follow up on any dental self-care goals established by the participant, such as purchasing toothpaste with fluoride.

Exclusion Criteria:

Behavioral: Educational Video about Oral Health
The interactive Oral Health Recovery group will be centered around the tailored materials previously developed, with topics such as "it's never too late to make a change," "oral health and whole health," "taking care of your teeth," and "going to the dentist."
The video comparison will be pulled from Toothflix 2.0 Patient Education DVD Series, which are patient education videos developed by the American Dental Association.
Average subject-level change between pre- and post-surveys
To analyze process data generated by the peers, a custom web-based Peer Encounter Form will be employed using Qualtrics Survey Software. Peers will complete encounter forms after each group and follow up. Fields include time spent, unique and total encounters, topics covered, participant engagement, and any knowledge of participants' seeking out or utilizing dental care. The primary analyses will compare the change in total scores on an oral health knowledge questionnaire and an oral health confidence/activation questionnaire based primarily on the transtheoretical model of change. These comparisons will be conducted as a comparison of the average subject-level improvements between pre- and post-surveys ("change scores") between the primary intervention (peer-led Oral Health Recovery Group) and the comparator video intervention.
