Regular dental visitation is crucial for the prevention and treatment of oral health conditions and also serves as an opportunity for a dental provider to assess current patient self-care practices. Although this behavior is important for both oral and overall health, the rates of dental service utilization are alarmingly low in the United States. This study examined the role of the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and an expanded TPB in predicting regular dental visitation among young adults. Variables found in previous research to be important predictors of dental visitation were added to the TPB to form the expanded model. These included variables related to the dentist-patient relationship, dental fear, perceived threat, and actual behavioral control. This study also tested the perceived message effectiveness of three persuasive, theoretically-based messages. Each message reflected one of the core TPB variables [attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC)].

520 $a Regular dental visitation is crucial for the prevention and treatment of oral health conditions and also serves as an opportunity for a dental provider to assess current patient self-care practices. Although this behavior is important for both oral and overall health, the rates of dental service utilization are alarmingly low in the United States. This study examined the role of the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and an expanded TPB in predicting regular dental visitation among young adults. Variables found in previous research to be important predictors of dental visitation were added to the TPB to form the expanded model. These included variables related to the dentist-patient relationship, dental fear, perceived threat, and actual behavioral control. This study also tested the perceived message effectiveness of three persuasive, theoretically-based messages. Each message reflected one of the core TPB variables [attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC)].
520 $a Results support the use of an expanded TPB, particularly subjective norm and perceived power from the original TPB, for explanation of dental visitation intention and behavior. In this expanded model, satisfaction with the dentist and actual behavioral control were also significant predictors. With regard to the message testing portion of the study, the attitude, subjective norm, and PBC messages were rated as equally effective.
520 $a PBC messages were rated as equally effective; however, two variables (subjective norm and satisfaction with the dentist) significantly predicted perceived message effectiveness. All in all, the current study lays the groundwork for a health communication campaign aimed at young adults' dental visitation behavior. The use of targeting and tailoring to design effective oral health media campaign messages is discussed.
