Questions 11 through 15 assessed the oral hygiene
practice of the primary school teachers.
The mean practice score was calculated similar to
the method of calculation of the mean knowledge
score. Question 16 was an attitude question to
understand the participant’s receptivity towards
further health education sessions. Participants
who were willing to know more about oral health
were considered to have a positive attitude. “Total
score” was calculated by adding all the correct
responses of questions 1 through 16.
