“…Participants received incentives throughout the study in the form of gift cards (up to $80), a baby gift, and toothpaste/toothbrushes for mothers/children. Study measures included mother’s readiness to visit the dentist (scoring range 0–10, where higher scores indicate greater readiness; Coolidge et al, 2011), prenatal depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D]; scoring range 0–60, where higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms; Radloff, 1977), maternal perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale [PSS]: scoring range 0–40, where higher scores indicate greater stress; Cohen & Williamson, 1988), maternal oral health impact (Oral Health Impact Profile short form [OHIP]: scoring range 0–56, where higher scores indicate lower oral health quality of life; de Oliveira & Nadanovsky, 2006), and maternal dental anxiety questions [M-DAS]: scoring range 5–25, where higher scores indicate greater dental anxiety; Humphris et al, 1995). Post-partum: readiness to take child to the dentist, maternal dental anxiety, maternal depression, maternal perceived stress, maternal self-efficacy, maternal oral health knowledge, and fatalism (Adair et al, 2004; Finlayson et al, 2005).…”
