Diabetes Educator Oral Health Training Program Evaluation

Ajesh George published a supplementary document on figshare in May 2026. The document describes the development and evaluation of a three-module oral health training program for diabetes educators. The evaluation involved 30 educators from New South Wales and Victoria, showing significant improvements in knowledge and confidence.

Use Cases

• Analyze the effectiveness of online training modules based on the described pre-post knowledge questionnaire.
• Study the integration of clinical support tools like screening tools and referral resources into practice.
• Evaluate the perceived acceptability, feasibility, and sustainability of a training program based on the described qualitative interviews.

Strengths

• The evaluation includes specific quantitative results: knowledge scores improved from a pre-test mean of 23.24 to a post-test mean of 29.67.
• The program was developed using a structured framework (Medical Research Council framework for complex interventions).
• The study involved 30 participants from two Australian states.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 36.4 KB DOCX file, which likely contains a manuscript or report rather than raw data tables.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
