An interventional study of Peer education and Conventional education in Health Literacy, sponsored by University of Sao Paulo. Status unknown at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 15 Years to 19 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-05.

This project aims to identify whether an oral health peer education strategy can influence the level of functional literacy and oral health attitudes of adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. An experimental study will be carried out, a non-randomized controlled community trial, with two groups of educational strategy in oral health: peer education (experimental group) and conventional education (control group). For data collection, three questionnaires will be applied: for socioeconomic, demographic and dental data; assessment of oral health literacy (BOHL-AQ); and assessment of oral health attitudes; the last two being applied before and after the intervention.
This project aims to identify whether an oral health peer education strategy can influence the level of functional literacy and oral health attitudes of adolescents aged 15 to 19 years. An experimental study will be carried out, a non-randomized controlled community trial, carried out in the municipality of Araruna-PB, with two groups of educational strategy in oral health: peer education (experimental group) and conventional education (control group). For data collection, three questionnaires will be applied: for socioeconomic, demographic and dental data; assessment of oral health literacy (BOHL-AQ); and assessment of oral health attitudes; the last two being applied before and after the intervention. Descriptive analysis will be performed and a test will be applied to assess the normality of the data. The psychometric properties of the BOHL-AQ with adolescents will be evaluated using factor analysis. For literacy and attitude data, a comparison of means before and after the intervention will be performed using the intragroup paired and unpaired Student t test. All analyzes will be performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0, considering a significance level of p \< 0.05.

Exclusion Criteria:
An initial assessment will be carried out to determine the socioeconomic, demographic profile and dental data and baseline data on literacy and attitudes related to oral health through questionnaires, after which participants will be invited to participate in a cycle of oral health education activities for three months on the experimental group (peer-based education). After the experimental stage, the literacy and attitudes questionnaires related to oral health will be reapplied, so that a comparative analysis can be carried out within and between groups.
Other: Peer education
An initial assessment will be carried out to determine the socioeconomic, demographic profile and dental data and baseline data on literacy and attitudes related to oral health through questionnaires, after which participants will be invited to participate in a cycle of oral health education activities for three months on the control group (dentist lecture). After the experimental stage, the literacy and attitudes questionnaires related to oral health will be reapplied, so that a comparative analysis can be carried out within and between groups.

Oral health literacy
A specific questionnaire, Brazilian Oral Health Literacy-Adults Questionnaire - BOHL-AQ, will be used to measure oral health literacy before and after the oral health education intervention.
Time frame: The first data collection (baseline) occurred 2 months after participant recruitment and the second collection will be after the intervention, 3 months after baseline.
Attitudes related to oral health
A questionnaire will be used to measure attitudes related to oral health before and after the oral health education intervention.
Time frame: The first data collection (baseline) occurred 2 months after participant recruitment and the second collection will be after the intervention, 3 months after baseline.

Of 147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Health Education, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 21. This study's planned 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 147 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 21.
