This study investigated if computer games can be effective at changing the way children take
care of their teeth. We a museum exhibit with 3D virtual reality games called "Attack of the
S. Mutans!" Our hypothesis was that children who played the games and visited the exhibit
would show improved attitudes about oral health, which would translate into improved
brushing and self-care habits.
In this randomized controlled study with school children aged 8-12, we compared the outcomes
for three groups: Group 1) Visited Attack of the S. Mutans!; Group 2) Experienced a hands-on
classroom presentation about virtual reality being used for healthcare; Group 3) Received
no-treatment.

Other | Oral health literacy | we assessed children's oral health knowledge in two ways. First, children reported their overall oral health knowledge using three-point rating scales (=not really to 3=mostly) to respond to six items, including, "By brushing and flossing my teeth, I am less susceptible to tooth decay." Negatively worded items were reverse-coded, and the estimated internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of the pre-game survey was.49. Second, children indicated their brushing knowledge using five-point rating scales (1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree) to respond to four items, including "Tooth brushing gets rid of bad breath." | 8 months post treatment | No |
Primary | Self-Efficacy | Follow-up surveys were conducted at 3 points after the intervention for all groups. The survey included questions about the children's attitudes (self-efficacy) toward oral health and taking care of their teeth. Surveys were paper-pencil self-reports from both parents and children. Items were drawn from Morowatisharifabad and Shirazi, (2007) and adapted for ease of understanding for English speaking children. | 8 months post treatment | No |
Secondary | Self-care behavior | Separate surveys of children and their parents were conducted at 3 points after the intervention all groups. The survey included questions about how often and how well the children took care of their teeth. | 8 months post treatment | Yes |
