“…Other studies have shown that dental students recognise they are role models in society, are conscious of their counselling role, and think they should receive tobacco control education and training in motivational counselling for tobacco cessation whilst in dental school (19–22). An online training module has been trialed recently and resulted in valuable improvement in dental students’ knowledge of tobacco but was unable to assess actual behavioural change (23). Increasingly, the important role of the dental practice team in tobacco use counselling is emphasised, with national and international associations taking leadership in promoting motivational cessation programs (24, 25).…”

“…Gadbury‐Amyot and Brockman 52 reported a totally online pharmacology course that provided a positive learning experience with enhanced learning outcomes. Recently, Miller et al 59 found that two online training modules on tobacco and oral health risks and alcohol screening resulted in meaningful improvement in dental students’ knowledge of tobacco and alcohol use as well as alcohol screening methods. Additionally, it has been reported that online tests for self‐study purposes have been recommended and shown to improve students’ motivation 60 .…”

Educational researchers have argued for the addition of new technologies to enhance or replace traditional dental education modalities to more effectively engage and appeal to the new generation of dental students. Two-and three-dimensional interactive media technology is now available for implementation into curricula to teach to a next-generation paradigm. The purpose of this study was to analyze the introduction of a unique, online, totally independent learning module for dental morphology instruction, completely replacing the traditional classroom teaching of the topic, and to determine the relationship between its use and parameters depicting success in learning dental morphology. In particular, the authors hypothesized that the novice, preclinical dental student can learn dental morphology independently and eficiently this way. One-third of a 2010-11 irst-year class of dental students were given an independent, interactive media module for the instruction of dental morphology. The remaining members of the class experienced the traditional course with classroom lectures. At the end of the module, a written examination and survey were given to both groups. The major indings were that the independent, interactive media module was just as effective as the traditional classroom method for successful dissemination of foundational knowledge in dental morphology; the independent study group performed signiicantly better on the didactic examination; the online module positively engaged the students; and students preferred the interactive media module but did not regard it as a total replacement for the traditional course.Dr. Maggio is Assistant Professor and Academic Clinician,

Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is directly linked to high-risk consumption. Healthcare students have a crucial role to play in its prevention and management. The aim of this study is to analyse alcohol consumption, as well as to consider the knowledge and attitudes regarding morbidity, and the stage of change when providing assistance to quit AUD. Material and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among Dentistry and Medical students using specific and validated questionnaires in an anonymous and voluntary way. Initially, 925 students were invited to participate, of them 500 were reached. Results Among them 85.9% suffered from AUD of whom 75% were women ( p <0.001), and it was considered that the female gender constituted an independent risk factor (OR=2.63, CI 95% 1.55-4.45, p <0.001). The majority of the participants did not achieve the pass mark, nonetheless, the results showed improved levels of knowledge among participants in the latter years of their studies ( p <0.001). Dental students demonstrated greater shortcomings in terms of their knowledge of general pathology, whereas the medical students’ knowledge of oral pathologies proved worse ( p <0.001). Most of students believed that identifying cases of AUD-affected patients falls within their competence, nonetheless, they believed that they do not have the necessary competencies. Among participants 58.2% were in a stage of change regarding AUD attitudes. Conclusions The majority of respondents presented AUD. In general, the participants’ knowledge about alcohol was low. Reviewing the syllabuses and evaluating the implementation of gender-differentiated training programmes in both degrees would be considered necessary. Key words: Alcohol use disorder, healthcare students, addiction, health literacy, behaviours.
