Mosque-based Oral Health Intervention Using Solomon Design
"Health Education Intervention on Tooth Brushing Among the Mosque Attendees
This quasi-experimental study evaluates a mosque-based oral health education intervention ("Smile With Prophet", SWP) among adult male mosque attendees in Dhaka, Bangladesh, using a Solomon four-group design.
A total of 142 participants were enrolled across two mosques (intervention and control). The analytical sample comprises 80 adult male attendees (≥18 years) allocated to four groups: intervention and control, each with pretest-posttest and posttest-only arms (n=20 per group).
The SWP intervention consists of oral health education delivered through Friday sermons (khutbas), supported by educational leaflets and provision of miswak. Outcomes are measured at baseline and 3-week follow-up and include oral health knowledge (14-item questionnaire), self-reported tooth brushing practices (15-item questionnaire), and clinical plaque scores (Greene-Vermillion Simplified Oral Hygiene Index, reversed).
The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of the intervention on knowledge and plaque scores. The secondary objective is to assess self-reported practice changes.
연구 개요
상세 설명
Study design: Quasi-experimental study using a Solomon four-group design conducted in two mosques in Dhaka, Bangladesh, between January and December 2022.
Participants: A total of 142 adult male mosque attendees (≥18 years) who attended three consecutive Friday congregational prayers were enrolled. Of these, 119 completed baseline assessment (pretest questionnaire and clinical plaque examination). Across the three-week study period, 80 participants completed all required follow-up assessments and are included in the final analysis (40 intervention, 40 control). Participants were allocated to four groups: intervention and control, each with pretest-posttest and posttest-only arms (n=20 per subgroup).
Intervention: The "Smile With Prophet" (SWP) intervention comprises: (1) oral health education delivered through Friday sermons (khutbas) integrating scientific evidence with Islamic teachings (Sunnah); (2) educational leaflets for take-home reinforcement; (3) provision of miswak (traditional tooth cleaning stick); and (4) a dental health campaign with clinical examination. The control group receives standard khutbas without oral health content; the intervention is provided after study completion.
Statistical analysis: Non-parametric tests will be used for data that are not normally distributed (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). Mann-Whitney U tests will compare groups; Wilcoxon signed-rank tests will assess within-group changes; Kruskal-Wallis tests will compare all four Solomon groups simultaneously. The Solomon four-group design controls for pretest sensitisation. Attrition analysis will compare baseline characteristics of retained versus lost participants.

Clinical Plaque Score (Reversed)
기간: Baseline (Week 1, pretested groups only) and 3-week follow-up (Week 3, all groups)
|
Objective clinical measure of oral hygiene.
Assessed using the Greene-Vermillion Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (reversed).
Dental examiner evaluates plaque thickness along the gingival margin on four surfaces (distal, facial, mesial, lingual) of each tooth.
Reversed score range 0-3.
Higher reversed score indicates less plaque and better oral hygiene.
This is the primary evidence of behavior change
