Diabetes Educator Oral Health Training Program Evaluation Data

30 diabetes educators from New South Wales and Victoria participated in a quasi-experimental study evaluating a three-module oral health training program. The study, authored by Ajesh George, includes pre-post questionnaire results showing significant knowledge improvement and qualitative interview data on program feasibility. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-21.

Use Cases

• Analyze the impact of online training modules on clinical knowledge based on pre-post test scores
• Evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of integrating oral health screening into diabetes care based on qualitative interview themes
• Model confidence changes in healthcare providers discussing, screening, and referring clients based on questionnaire variables
• Assess the sustainability of clinical practice resources like videos and referral tools mentioned in the description

Strengths

• Includes quantitative results from 21 participants with pre-test (mean=23.24) and post-test (mean=29.67) knowledge scores
• Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews assesses program acceptability, feasibility, and sustainability
• Training program integrates concrete resources: three modules, videos, a screening tool, and referral support

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is 33.6 KB, indicating a very limited scope likely containing summary documents rather than raw participant data
