AB  - OBJECTIVE: Assess whether there is an interactive effect between oral health 
      literacy and acculturation on dental care use for Hispanic adults. METHODS: 
      Self-identifying Hispanic adults participated in this observational study 
      (N = 338). Oral health literacy (low vs. high) was measured using the 
      Comprehensive Measure of Oral Health Knowledge (CMOHK). Acculturation (low vs. 
      high) was measured using the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH) and 
      operationalized a second way by the language in which the survey was completed 
      (English or Spanish). The outcome was dental care use in the past year (yes/no). 
      Confounder-adjusted modified Poisson regression models were run to generate risk 
      ratios (RR) and to test the hypothesis that participants with high oral health 
      literacy and high acculturation would be more likely to have used dental care in 
      the past year than participants with low oral health literacy and low 
      acculturation. RESULTS: About 65% of participants used dental care in the past 
      year. The final models failed to show that participants with high oral health 
      literacy and high acculturation were more likely to have used dental care than 
      other participants. However, in the language proxy interaction model, 
      participants with high oral health literacy and low acculturation were 
      significantly more likely to have used dental care than participants with low 
      oral health literacy and low acculturation. CONCLUSION: There may be an 
      interaction between oral health literacy and acculturation when modeling dental 
      care use for Hispanic adults that should be further explored.
