Dental students in our study had neither particularly positive, or negative attitudes towards people with disabilities. There was no statistically significant difference in student attitudes before and after the educational intervention. This study, therefore, shows that a comprehensive undergraduate blended learning module, which aimed to improve attitudes towards people with disabilities, did not do so, using the described measures within the selected timeframe.

“…The Attitudes toward Disabled People questionnaire (ATDP) Form B (Yuker and Block, 1986) This widely used measure of global attitudes toward disabled persons has been found to be highly reliable and valid in over 20 years of research (Timms et al, 1997;White and Olson, 1998). Test-retest and split-half reliabilities of the measure were reported in the range of 0.71-0.83 and 0.72-0.87, respectively; content validity was established through literature review and item analysis, and criterion and construct validity were established through comparisons with other attitude measures (Yuker and Block, 1986;Antonak and Livneh, 1988;Perry et al, 2008).…”

This study examined differences in attitudes toward and reactions to individuals with comparable disabilities caused by injury or illness. Participants were students and healthcare professionals randomly assigned to read one of eight vignettes constructed in a between-subjects, full-factorial design: 2 (illness/injury)× 2 (male/female)× 2 (visible/not visible). Participants completed questionnaires measuring reactions to the target person and attitudes toward people with disabilities. We found that both students and healthcare professionals expressed more positive attitudes toward persons with injury-related compared with illness-related disabilities, but that these differences were typically not expressed in reported social encounters with individual disabled persons. The effects of the illness-injury distinction were moderated by sex only among students, with the highest distancing reported from a female with an illness-related disability. Visibility of the disability triggered more social distancing among students, regardless of the injury-illness distinction. We concluded that the illness-injury distinction is a socially and psychologically significant factor.

“…Another study used a pre and posttest design to examine the effectiveness of a two-day awareness training. Timms et al (1997) found that participants' attitudes toward people with disabilities increased slightly, yet did not result in a statistically significant change after the training. The sample participants in this study worked with people with disabilities before and during the study; therefore, a ceiling effect may have also occurred in this study.…”
