Yorkshire has the second-worst UK prevalence of tooth decay; affecting almost 1/3rd of children before they reach school. Tooth decay is concentrated to high-risk groups within areas of deprivation, presenting a considerable health, economic and social burden. Whilst tooth decay is preventable, reaching those most at-risk remains challenging. With approaching 50% of young children starting secondary school with decayed teeth there is an enormous health need to address this.
RAISED in Yorkshire (RiY) offers a novel peer-to-peer delivery approach to address oral health inequality. RiY is a feasibility randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a complex intervention. RiY trains 16-18-year-old-students from underserved communities as ‘RiY-Student Research Fellows’ (RiY-SRFs) to deliver oral health interventions to 11-13-years old students. RiY relies on shared cultural backgrounds and relatability to reach students that may be missed by typical healthcare professional-led interventions.
Study aim:
To establish RiY with its peer-peer delivery model within the secondary school setting supported by Foundation Dentists as an effective and sustainable approach to improve oral health awareness and efficacy (toothbrushing) in adolescents from underserved at-risk communities.
