Children's Oral Health in Rural Virginia |
Dear Health Care Professional:
You are being invited to voluntarily participate in a research study provided by a partnership with
the VCU Oral Health Core and the Virginia Dental Association.
You will be completing a survey that seeks to obtain a better understanding of the opinions and
needs of health professionals who provide health care in rural areas.
WHAT IS THE SURVEY ABOUT?
There is currently a lot of interest in oral health and the impact of oral health on overall health.
Optimal oral health is associated with opportunities in education and future employment.
Specifically, dental health care for children.
Your responses are anonymous and therefore completely confidential. Your consent to
participate is implied by your participation. All of your responses will be recorded electronically.
Data will be kept in secured data files and no identifiable information will be attached to your
responses at any point, including your name, the email address at which you were contacted, or
the IP address of the computer on which you completed the survey. Additionally, any data
reported will be in aggregate form only.
If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please contact Dr. Tegwyn Brickhouse the Principle Investigator (PI).
