“…Similar to previous validation studies, the translation and adaptation processes were strictly based on established guidelines; in addition, useful comments from the 3 representatives from the pilot test were considered through a face validity discussion. Regarding the small sample size of 160 in this study, prior studies have noted that the number of respondents should be between 2 and 20 per item for a total of 100‐250 study participants. The HeLD‐Th has 14 items; thus, 28‐280 respondents are recommended.…”

Aim To validate the Thai version of the Health Literacy in Dentistry scale (HeLD‐Th) among Thai adults with physical disabilities. Methods The original Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD) was translated into Thai (HeLD‐Th). The final version of the HeLD‐Th was evaluated through a cross‐sectional study of 160 participants in Thailand. Interview questionnaires and oral examination were performed. The reliability and validity of the HeLD‐Th were determined. Results The internal consistency was acceptable, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.76. The face and content validity were confirmed. Sufficient construct validity was revealed by exploratory factor analysis. The convergent validity (P ≤ .013) and discriminant validity (P = .017) were estimated. The concurrent validity and predictive validity were confirmed by significantly higher HeLD‐Th scores (P < .001). Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that approximately 60% of the variation in the HeLD‐Th scores was explained by the final model. Conclusion The HeLD‐Th has sufficient psychometric properties to assess the oral health literacy of Thai adults with mild to moderate disabilities. There are some limitations of the study due to the small sample size, and the results are specific to Thai adults with disabilities. Future studies using the HeLD‐Th scale are recommended.

“…Also a summary of the quality of the domains examined on the basis of a checklist COSMIN for oral health assessment tools reported in the Supplementary material 3. The results of methodological quality evaluation of the tools showed that, out of the 21 tools examined, 9 tools at least in one dimension were in the category of poor, which indicated the poor quality of that area [33-35, 37-41, 43, 49].The results of tool review using the COSMIN checklist showed that, 19 studies at least in one dimension had a "fair" quality, which indicated the suspected methodological quality [32,33,[35][36][37][38][39][40][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Also, 20 and 4 articles at least in one dimension had a "good" [32,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] and "excellent" [37,39,47,…”

Abstract Background: This article aims to provide a description of conceptual dimensions and psychometric properties of the tools of oral and dental health literacy. Methods: Two authors in this study conducted electronic searches in the Medline (via PubMed), and Embase databases to find relevant articles from 1990 to present day. Evaluation of the tools was carried out in two parts; general evaluation of the tools using skills introduced by Sørensen et al., and qualitative assessment of psychometric properties using COSMIN checklist. Results: After reviewing 1839 articles on oral and dental health literacy and evaluating 33 full text articles for eligibility, 21 articles entered the study. The sample size varied from 20 to 1405 subjects and the items of each tool ranged from 11 to 99 items. Of the 21 tools examined, 16 tools were evaluated for word recognition. For the studies examined, the evaluation of COSMIN scores was often fair or good. Of the 21 tools examined, 9 tools at least in one dimension were in the category of "poor", 19 tools were in the category of "fair", 20 tools were in the category of "good", and 4 tools were in the category of "excellent" in at least one dimension. Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that some aspects of oral and dental health literacy are being ignored in the existing tools. Therefore, the authors of present study emphasize on the necessity to design and develop a comprehensive tool and take into account two characteristics of simplicity and briefness for international use.

“…Previous studies reporting the development of OHL instruments have used samples sizes in the range of 100-200 participants [14,[23][24][25][26][27]. Specifically, previous reports of the development of REALD-99 [13] and REALD-30 were based upon sample sizes of 102 and 202 adults [14], respectively.…”

“…It was also noted that 23 of 29 OHL reviewed studies were conducted in the United States-European studies investigating OHL as an oral health determinant are generally scarce, in spite of almost half of Europeans are known to have inadequate or problematic health literacy skills [22]. The most commonly used OHL instrument is REALD-30-a word recognition scale that has been adapted for use in several languages other than English [23][24][25][26][27], but not Greek. In fact, currently no Greek language OHL measurement instrument exists.…”

Development of a Greek Oral health literacy measurement instrument: GROHL

et al. 2020

Background: Oral health literacy is an important construct for both clinical and public health outcomes research. The need to quantify and test OHL has led to the development of measurement instruments and has generated a substantial body of recent literature. A commonly used OHL instrument is REALD-30, a word recognition scale that has been adapted for use in several languages. The objective of this study was the development and testing of the Greek language oral health literacy measurement instrument (GROHL). Methods: Data from 282 adult patients of two private dental clinics in Athens, Greece were collected via in-person interviews. Forty-four words were initially considered and tested for inclusion. Item response theory analysis (IRT) and 2-parameter logistic models assessing difficulty and discriminatory ability were used to identify an optimal scale composition. Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability was measured using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) in a subset of 20 participants over a two-week period. Convergent validity was tested against functional health literacy screening (HLS) items, dental knowledge (DK), oral health behaviors (OHBs), oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL; OHIP-14 index), as well as self-reported oral and general health status. Results: From an initial item pool of 44 items that were carried forward to IRT, 12 were excluded due to no or little variance, 10 were excluded due to low item-test correlation, and 2 due to insignificant contribution to the scale, i.e., difficulty parameter estimate with p > 0.05. The twenty remaining items composed the final index which showed favorable internal consistency (alpha = 0.80) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.95). The summary score distribution did not depart from normality (p = 0.32; mean = 11.5; median = 12; range = 1-20). GROHL scores were positively correlated with favorable oral hygiene behaviors and dental attendance, as well as HLS, DK and education level. Conclusion: The GROHL demonstrated good psychometric properties and can be used for outcomes research in clinical and public health settings.
