Assessment

Introduction paragraph as students we were concerned abou the correlation between stroke and perio and wondered if the general public was aware of this. After community heralth, we thought it would be great to put the ADPIE (assess, diagnos, plan, implementationtion and evaluation) model into practice for this purpose).

So what? This is important for ust to address at this time because we are concenrend about comm. Health issues

Our research purpose is to follow the ADPIE model to put theory into practice and see if, as students, this model does indeed scaffold for us a way to assess and meet a community need. Guiding research questions for the assessment phase are:
Does the public know what periodontal disease is?
Can the public articulate the harmful effects periodontal disease has not only on the mouth, but the entire body?
Is the general public aware of the correlation between periodontal disease and stroke?
