Cost effective campaigning method to attract people to an awareness program need to be identified. Conventional Pamphlet Campaign remain popular despite the expanding range of Social Media Campaign that have potential to reach large number of people at low cost. Two different methods of awareness campaigns were used to attract people to an awareness program. The Conventional Pamphlet was distributed manually and Social Media Campaign was done in Facebook as a paid promoted post. The budget was fixed to Rs.1200/-for each group. People with interest are invited to scan the provided QR code which directs to an Electronic form (e- form). The number of sign up were estimated in each method. A total of 17 people signed up to participate in awareness program. Of which Conventional Pamphlets Campaign showed 6 sign up and Social Media Campaign showed 11 sign up. The cost per sign up for Conventional Pamphlet Campaign and Social Media Campaign are Rs.200/- and Rs. 109.09 respectively. The Social Media Campaign was the cost effective method and reached larger number of sign ups when compared to Conventional Pamphlet Campaign. Overall, our results demonstrate that Social Media Campaigning is the cost-effective method in attracting people than Conventional Pamphlets Campaigning.

“…This is supported by the data from Tušek and colleagues, who showed that the prevalence of caries in Vojvodina was 46.64%, while in the children who were involved in this study it was 62.4%. [15] also significantly increase the possibility of caries in a permanent dentition [17,18]. Early childhood caries is a disease for which treatment is not just a restorative treatment.…”

Background/Aim. Dental caries represents a health problem of all ages, but it is especially significant in the earliest age of children. Early childhood caries can develop immediately after the eruption of deciduous teeth, resulting in many complications, such as tooth extraction, which is reflected in the quality of life and health. Early childhood caries is influenced by a large number of predictors. Considering that the data on predictors for the development of deciduous teeth caries are scarce, the aim of this paper was to determine the prevalence of deciduous teeth caries and detect the predictors for the development of early childhood caries. Methods. Our survey included 117 children of both genders, aged 3 to 6 years, from the territory of Kosovska Mitrovica and Zvecan. All respondents, including children and parents, were surveyed, and thus general data was obtained. A dental examination was performed on all children. The current state of dental health was inserted into special research cards that were in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Those predictors of dental health level that were statistically significant in models of univariate ordinal logistic regression at the significance level of 0.05 were included in the model of multivariate ordinal logistic regression. Results. According to the full structure, there were 49.6% of boys and 50.4% of girls. Healthy teeth were present in 25 (21.4%) children, 19 had reversible changes (16.2%), while 73 (62.4%) children had irreversible carious changes on teeth. The most important detected predictors were sweets consummation, sleeping with a baby bottle, 6 and more meals per day, frequent usage of medical syrups, child?s daily tooth-brushing frequency, child?s independent toothbrushing frequency, usage of non-fluoride toothpaste, a lack of professional fluoride application, and mouth breathing. Conclusion. This research contributed to the detection of a large number of predictors that are most important for the development of early childhood caries. In order to reduce the risk of caries development, it is necessary to act in more spheres. This certainly requires planning and implementing preventive dental programs.
