Prevention combines relevant advice, access and an evaluation plan suited to the population.
Communicate
Use clear, achievable messages and check understanding.
Evaluate
Define an outcome, baseline and follow-up approach before claiming success.
At the viva table
Try answering aloud, then open the suggested answer. Examiner questions vary.
01 / Does attendance alone prove improved oral health?
No. Attendance is a process measure, not necessarily a health outcome.
02 / Why check understanding?
It shows whether the message was clear and usable.
03 / Is one message sufficient for every population?
No. Adapt to needs, language and context.
04 / Why plan evaluation early?
Appropriate baseline and follow-up information must be collected.
