Introduction: Knowledge is the domain of behaviour. A person's good oral health behaviour must meet the elements of good oral health knowledge. Lack of oral health knowledge is one of the causes of oral dental disease. The most common oral dental disease, particularly in elementary school, is dental caries. One of the efforts to improve oral health knowledge is to be obtained from health promotion. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many online health promotion media. One of the health promotion media is an Android-based oral health application. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the application of oral health on knowledge of oral health in elementary school children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Using an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The research instrument is a questionnaire via google form and the HI BOGI application. Analysis of the data used is the Wilcoxon test. Results: The study was conducted on 143 elementary school students in Cimahi City. 55.2% are female, and 36.4% are 12 years old. The level of knowledge of oral health before downloading the HI BOGI application was in the moderate category and became good after downloading the application. There was a significant value of knowledge before and after downloading the HI BOGI application with a significant value p<0,0000. Conclusion: There is an effect of HI BOGI to increase oral health knowledge in elementary school children.

Wilcoxon analysis used to see the increase in knowledge and attitudes before and after media intervention.</p><p>Results: The results of the Wilcoxon test showed that the media of film and the media of snakes and ladders succeeded in increasing the scores of elementary students' knowledge and attitudes regarding the prevention of worm disease. Health promotion using snake and ladder media was proven to be more effective in increasing the scores of elementary students' knowledge and attitudes about preventing worm disease compared to using film media.</p><p>Snakes and ladders and films media have been shown to increase knowledge and attitudes towards preventing worm disease. The Bireuen District Health Office and the Bireuen District Education Office expected to carry out various health promotion activities to prevent worm disease by using the snake and ladder game; it has been proven effective in increasing the knowledge and attitudes of elementary school students.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

Background and objectives: The Indian population faces numerous challenges to attain better oral hygiene due to a lack of oral health literacy. For the past 10 years, the prevalence of dental-related conditions in India has become a considerable problem in every state of India. A health-education-based oral health promotion strategy will be an ideal choice for the Indian population instead of endorsing conventional oral health promotion. The use of unsuitable tools to measure may lead to misleading and vague findings that might result in a flawed plan for cessation programs and deceitful effectiveness. Therefore, the research aimed to develop and validate an instrument that can assess the oral health knowledge, attitude and behavior (KAB) of adults in India. Materials and Methods: This study was carried among adults in India, who live in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. A questionnaire was fabricated and then validated using content, face, as well as construct. The knowledge domain was validated using item response theory analysis (IRT), whereas exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to validate the behavior domain and attitude. Results: Four principal sections, i.e., knowledge, attitude, demography and behavior, were used to fabricate a questionnaire following validation. Following analysis of item response theory on the knowledge domain, all analyzed items in the domain were within the ideal range of difficulty and discrimination. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was 0.65 for the attitude and 0.66 for the behavior domain. A Bartlett’s test of sphericity was conducted and demonstrated that outcomes for both domains were highly significant (p < 0.001). The factor analysis resulted in three factors with a total of eight items in the attitude domain and three factors with a total of seven items in the behavior domain depicting satisfactory factor loading (>0.3). Across the three factors, i.e., knowledge, attitude and behavior, internal consistency reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha, and the values obtained were 0.67, 0.87, 0.67, and 0.88, respectively. Conclusions: The findings of this study that assessed validity and reliability showed that the developed questionnaire had an acceptable psychometric property for measuring oral health KAB among adults in India.
