The ORAHabit study: addressing knowledge gaps in oral health care interventions
The ORAHabit study will translate insights from health psychology on behaviour change and habits to the field of oral health.
ORAHabit-study
The goal is to ultimately improve oral hygiene intervention programs. The seed grant will fund an intervention study to investigate the adoption of a new oral hygiene routine and the role of automatic processes. Follow-up studies may broaden the research to study the effectiveness of multifaceted, habit-based interventions in different socioeconomic groups.
