It is considered as a major public health problem affecting pre-school children and it is the most common dental disease which affects 28% of children within two to five years of age. ECC not only induces pain and discomfort, but can also affect communication, nutrition status, learning abilities, speech and quality of life, which may progress into adulthood and pose a heavy burden on the healthcare system in long-term. In Hong Kong, over 50% of children were affected by dental caries in 2001 but over 70% of children had never been to a dentist for a regular check up at age five. Thus, much of the tooth decay was remained undetected and untreated. Dental caries can be preventable and achievable. Collaboration between families, early care and health care professionals is required to promote effective oral health care. Numerous studies have found that educational programs and workshops are effective in promoting oral health and can provide children a lifelong opportunity to be free from preventable oral disease. In order to promote oral health to achieve the mission of the Department of Health in Hong Kong- at least 65% of 5 years old children are free from caries by the year 2020, an evidence-based guideline for a community-based programme in oral health education was developed in the proposed setting after a critical appraisal of the reviewed evidence. The comprehensive intervention plan, including communication plan with stakeholders, training of staffs and pilot testing will be carried out to facilitate the implementation of the innovation. The oral health programme will be evaluated for its effectiveness in achieving the patient outcomes, health providers' outcomes and system outcomes in the proposed settings.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Researchers in the fields of health, education and psychology have established a causal relationship between levels of education and both health status and its management amongst adults and children. This has resulted in largescale 'health literacy' intervention programmes. The relationship between oral health literacy (OHL), health status and management is less understood. Indeed, 'OHL' is a relatively new field with limited research to date in Asia. Measurements of OHL on the whole have focused on the match or mismatch between reading fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge, and oral and written communication demands. While it may be difficult or impractical to comprehensively capture and measure all possible dimensions of OHL, several instruments have been developed to date, albeit mostly in English dominant contexts. OBJECTIVES: The major objectives of this study were to: a) to describe the relationship between caregiver reading habits and their OHL, and their child's oral health status; b) assess the functional OHL levels of primary caregivers in an Asian population using two new instruments; c) to describe the relationship between caregiver OHL and the oral health status of their children. METHODS: A cross-sectional study using two locally-developed and validated OHL instruments; Hong Kong Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry-30 (HKREALD-30) and Hong Kong OHL Assessment Task for Paediatric Dentistry (HKOHLAT-P) was adopted. A random sample of 301 child/caregiver dyads was recruited from kindergartens in Hong Kong Island. Data included: socio-demographic information; caregivers' self-reported reading habits and OHL levels; and child oral health status as a) dental caries experience - number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft); and b) oral hygiene status - by the Visible Plaque Index (VPI). RESULTS: Caregivers' reported reading of print Chinese was significantly associated with their OHL scores: HKREALD-30 and HKOHLAT-P (p0.05). Both OHL assessment tasks were associated with children's oral health status. Both HKOHLAT-P and HKREALD-30 remained associated with dmft in the adjusted negative binomial regression models (accounting for socio-demographics), but HKOHLAT-P had a stronger association (IRR 0.97, P=0.02 versus 0.96, P=0.03). HKOHLAT-P was associated with VPI in the adjusted model (IRR 0.90, PCONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Caregivers' habits of reading print and digital texts were significantly associated with their OHL scores. No significant associations were found between caregivers' reading habits and their children's oral health status, indicating that reading habits is a different attribute that may not directly affect their child's oral health. Caregivers' functional OHL was associated with their children's oral health status in Hong Kong. A comprehension task tool (HKOHLAT-P) was more robust in determining such associations when compared to a simple word recognition based test (HKREALD-30).

Abstract: The last oral health survey conducted by the government of Hong Kong in 2001 found that dental caries was common among the kindergarten children and that most of their dental caries was untreated. The overall aims of this research project were to find out the oral health status of the kindergarten children in Hong Kong and the outcomes of providing a private practice based dental service programme to these children. To achieve the first aim, an oral health survey was conducted in 2007. Through stratified simple random sampling, 12 kindergartens in Hong Kong Island were selected. All children attending grades 1 to 2, aged 3 to 5 years, in the kindergartens were invited to participate. Children with parental consent were clinically examined by one of two calibrated examiners. A questionnaire on the child's demographic background and oral health related behaviours was completed by the parents. Response rate of the survey was 89% and 1,343 children were examined. Their mean age was 52 months (SD=7) and 51.5% were boys. Around one third (35.3%) of the children had experienced dental caries. The mean dmft score was 1.5, increasing from 1.2 at age 3 to 2.0 at age 5 (ANOVA, p=0.016). Soft, cavitated caries (dt) accounted for 90% of the dmft score. The prevalence and severity of dental caries in the children were associated with the children's socio-demographic background, and their dietary and tooth-brushing habits. To find out the feasibility of implementing a private clinic based dental service program for the preschool children a total of 245 children attending grade 1 in 9 kindergartens were invited to participate. Baseline information of the children was collected through a clinical examination and a parental questionnaire at April 2007. After baseline data collection, the study children were randomly allocated into the test or the control group. Children in the test group were offered free dental services at regular intervals in 3 private dental clinics. Evaluation took place in July 2009 after the completion of the 24-month intervention programme through conducting clinical examinations and a parental questionnaire. After 24 months, 88% of the control and test group students remained in the study. The mean dental appointment attendance rate of the test group children was 53%. Individualized instructions on oral hygiene were provided to 82% of the children and 52% of the children had received topical fluoride application. Treatments were provided to more than 30% of the children and the mean number of dental fillings placed is 1.1. The mean total running cost per child was around HK$100 a year. The kindergarten children who were covered by the study dental service programme had better oral health than that of the children who were not. The study programme was effective in preventing development of new dental caries and in reducing the amount of untreated caries among the test group children. However, it was not effective in improving the oral health related behaviours and oral hygiene status of the children. The study programme was acceptable to the kindergartens, the parents and the children by the satisfaction study. Consumer satisfaction was reasonable high.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Book excerpt: The Measuring Early Learning Quality and Outcomes (MELQO) initiative began in 2014 as part of the global emphasis on early childhood development (ECD). Led by UNESCO, the World Bank, the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution and UNICEF, the initiative aims to promote feasible, accurate and useful measurement of childrenâs development and learning at the start of primary school, and of the quality of their pre-primary learning environments. Items are designed for children between the ages of 4 and 6 years. Following the premise that many existing tools include similar items, the leading organizationsâ core team worked with a consortium of experts, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and multilaterals to build upon current measurement tools to create a common set of items organized into modules for measuring: 1) early childhood development and learning, and 2) the quality of pre-primary learning environments. The MELQO core team and experts also collaborated to outline a process for context-specific adaptation of the measurement modules resulting from lessons learned from field-testing in several countries in 2015 and 2016. The modules are designed to be implemented at scale, with an emphasis on feasibility for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). A key question addressed by MELQO was the balance between a global tool suitable for use everywhere, and local priorities and goals for childrenâs development. [Introduction, ed]
