TI  - Development of the Knowledge Related to Oral Health Literacy for Spanish Speakers 
      Scale.

AB  - The Hispanic population has one of the highest levels of untreated oral disease 
      of any linguistic or ethnic population in the United States. Research examining 
      the factors leading to such outcomes is limited. Since health literacy has been 
      identified as a mediator of health disparities, it is important to identify the 
      most appropriate tool to assess it. The Knowledge Related to Oral Health Literacy 
      model for Spanish speakers (KROHL-S) is an inclusive framework to evaluate oral 
      health knowledge and other modifiable factors at the individual level among the 
      Hispanic population as related to oral health literacy. KROHL-S intends to 
      provide concrete, practical information to help customize interpersonal 
      interactions and educational experiences to individuals' needs and capabilities. 
      The questionnaire that will allow the creation of the KROHL-S scale consists of 
      orally administered open-ended questions to measure knowledge that is condition 
      specific (caries, periodontal disease, oral cancer, tooth loss, and malocclusion) 
      and domain that is knowledge specific (identification of condition, causes, 
      prevention, treatment, general knowledge). Implementation of the KROHL-S 
      framework will provide in depth information that could be shared among health 
      care providers and the creation of patient-centred initiatives.
