Recruitment and Participation in a School Mouthrinse Program#

A study was conducted to assess the attitudes of school personnel and parents toward a school-based fluoride mouthrinse (FMR) program. The responses were obtained by administering a questionnaire to school personnel and parents of an urban school system. The responses of the school personnel indicate that they support the FMR program as it is currently structured; they perceive that the program does not interfere with the education of the students and they have willingly participated in the program. The school personnel do not oppose governmental participation in such a program, but they believe that parents should be responsible for their children's oral health. Parents are supportive of the FMR program as a means of preventing dental problems and improving children's oral health. The parents do not object to governmental involvement and funding of the program. They do not perceive the cost of operating the program as excessive in relation to the expected benefits.
