Well, over the last few weeks we went about the Salt Lake Area, from places like the Gateway, the Library, etc. getting surveys filled out. We got 100 surveys done for the salt lake area. It was a difficult task to get people fill them out sometimes. I was glad that we had toothbrushes donated to give people a motivation. It was also interesting what people didn't know. I was also glad for the little disclaimer about the clinic that Skye added to them...some people tore those off...hopefully they'll call us! We finished the surveys for the Salt Lake area...all that we have left is Ogden and Bountiful area, and we've already got a good start on those. I think we've only got about 20 surveys left to do.

Filling out Surveys!
We've started handing out the surveys to whoever will do them. We went to the Gateway in SLC and tried to catch people walking around. It was kind of embarassing, we hated interupting people's conversations and taking their time. But most people have been pretty willing to fill one out, especially when we tell them we'll give them a toothbrush. Luckily the survey is short and all they have to do is circle the answers. I would have liked to put the survey on a half sheet of paper, so it looked shorter, but it was too long. It has taken us longer than we had expected to fill them out. A security guard kicked us out of the gateway, he asked management and they wouldn't let us finish, so we've had to find other places here and there to get more of the surveys done. We're trying to make sure we get a wide variety of people with different ages, sexes, and socioeconomic status. We've got 100-200 done now and will hope to get the rest done within the next 2 weeks. I decided to add a little advertisement at the bottom of the survey for Weber State and a few people have torn it off so I hope to get some patients from this as well. Here is the final survey we used. Of course we found a few errors after all of them were printed, but oh well.
This is a survey to be used in a Bachelor research project at Weber State University. Completion of survey indicates consent to participate in the research. Thank You.

Finalizing Survey
We have been making changes to our survey and think we are about ready to distribute it. We still need to make a few changes and have Kami go over it. We've been trying to decide where to go to distribute them and will probably go to a rec center, maybe a walmart, and a mall like the gateway where there will be a lot of people around.

ADPIE paper introduction
We've started working on our paper and here is what we have for our introduction so far:
INTRODUCTION
In the world today there are many different diseases that can and do affect many people. One serious disease that many people face is periodontal disease, which is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Periodontal disease can cause many problems in the oral cavity but can also have far reaching effects throughout the entire body. One problem is that it can increase a person’s risk for having a stroke. A stroke or "brain attack" occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery or a blood vessel breaks, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain. When brain cells die during a stroke, abilities controlled by that area of the brain are lost. These abilities include speech, movement and memory.
Recently several studies have been conducted that have linked periodontal disease to contribute to stroke. This link is a very important and serious problem that needs to be addressed. Most people are unaware of what periodontal disease is, and probably have no idea that it can lead to stroke, as well as many other serious problems. The general public should be educated about periodontal disease, so they can prevent it and therefore prevent other serious complication that can be caused by periodontal disease.
The purpose of this study is to identify the public’s knowledge of a correlation between stroke and periodontal disease. The guiding research questions are: first, does the public know what periodontal disease is? Second, can the public articulate the harmful effects periodontal disease has not only on the mouth, but the entire body? Third, is the public aware of the correlation between periodontal disease and stroke? It is hypothesized that people will have a low level of knowledge of the effects that periodontal disease has on the body, and especially the correlation to stroke. The review of literature revealed the definition of periodontal disease and of stroke, and that a direct correlation exists between stroke and periodontal disease.

Literature Review
We spent some time researching some articles on perio, stroke, and the correlation between the two. We found some great peer reviewed stuff!
Article 1:
The association of gingivitis and periodontitis with ischemic stroke
303 patients examined within 2 days of stroke occurring
Study found that on average the patients recovering from stroke had greater percentages of bone loss, probe depths, and clinical attachment loss than the controlled population.
Periodontitis was associated with 4 times higher odds ratio for stroke, than a status with out periodontitis and a 3 times higher odd of bone loss greater that 2.5 mm.
Article 2:
Early carotid atherosclerosis in subjects with periodontal diseases
82 perio and 31 healthy patients were randomly chosen in 1985 and given clinical oral examination. 16 years later atherosclerotic risk factor analysis was performed. Common carotid artery and lumen diameter were measured and calculated.
Study identified periodontal disease as a risk factor in the development of early atherosclerotic vascular lesions.
Article 3:
Association of periodontal conditions and systemic disease in older subjects
Study took random sample of 1,084 subjects between ages 60-75
Study found link between the bacteria that causes periodontal disease to increase the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
Study found that the highest odds ratio of a association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease is for stroke.

We've also worked on the IRB application. It was a little confusing, so we hope that all of the necessary information is in here:
A. APPLICATION FORM
The application form must be filled out completely so committee members may have a clear understanding of the nature and human subject implications of the research proposal. A summary paragraph for each section is sufficient. A statement referring to the attached material is not sufficient and will not be accepted. Applications submitted with incomplete forms will be returned without consideration of the proposal.
1. TITLE
Putting Theory into Practice: A Community Assessment of
Knowledge and Plan for Intervention
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY
As students we were concerned about the correlation between stroke and periodontal disease and wondered if the general public was aware of this correlation. After community health, we thought it would be great to put the ADPIE (assess, diagnose, plan, implementation and evaluation) model into practice for the purpose of informing the public.
So what? This is important for us to address at this time because we are concerned about community 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?
3. DURATION OF THE STUDY
1 year, unless another group of students would like to continue our research.
4. MULTICENTER STUDY
There will be no other participants at this time.
5. NUMBERS OF SUBJECTS
There will be 300 subjects, randomly selected to take a survey.
6. HEALTH STATUS OF THE SUBJECTS
The subjects will be generally healthy, but we will not exclude any participants based on their health status.
7. SUBJECT GROUPS EXCLUDED
No groups will be excluded.
8. AGES OF THE SUBJECTS
No subjects under the age of 18 will be asked to participate in the study.
9. DESIGN OF THE STUDY
Single shot 10 question survey of general population with nonparametric data. Data will be assessed with descriptive and inferential statistics.
10. RISKS TO SUBJECTS
There will be no risk to subjects. They will not be asked to disclose their name or contact information.
ANY MODERATE OR HIGH RISK STUDY MUST GO THROUGH A SEPARATE REVIEW PROCEDURE WHICH INCLUDES THE APPROPRIATE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER AND THE UNIVERSITY ATTORNEY.
BENEFITS TO SUBJECTS AND OTHERS
Hopeful benefits of the research will be that the participants will gain a greater knowledge on periodontal disease and stroke. As an incentive to complete the survey subjects will be offered a free toothbrush.
11. COSTS TO BE BORNE BY SUBJECTS
There will be no cost monetarily to subjects. Just their time will be required. (3-5 minutes)
12. IS CONFIDENTIALITY ASSURED
A. We will conduct a convenient sample with randomly selected participants from 3 different locations. A statement will be on the top of the survey explaining to the participants that by completing the survey, they give consent and their answers and identity will be kept confidential.
B. No information on the subjects will be taken. They will be asked their sex, and age range. Their names will not be asked for and only we, the conductors of the survey will see their answers. After recording the data, the surveys will be carefully disposed of.
13. CONTRACT OR GRANT NUMBER
Include the contract or grant number, sponsoring agency, and/or granting agency.
14. NAME OF PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR AND DEPARTMENT
Include the names of all the investigators, signatures, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, University Department, and Department Chair’s name.
B. DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY
This should be brief (no longer than two pages) and should include:
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Through research, we have discovered there is a strong correlation that people with periodontal disease are more likely to have a stroke, than those who don’t. As students, we were unaware of this correlation and believe that the general public is also unaware, so we would like to inform them about the dangers of periodontal disease, to not only the mouth but to the whole body. By doing a survey, we hope to gain insight as to whether there is a need to educate the public about periodontal disease, and to learn how much, if anything most people already know about the subject.
2. EXPERIMENTAL METHODS
Non experimental study, survey, population and then implementation non-invasive adult pop again
3. DESCRIPTION OF RECRUITMENT PROCEDURES
Convenience sample from 3 different locations, participants chosen randomly.
4. MODERATE OR HIGH RISK
No risk to participants
PRENHALL/NATHE WEBSITE
Today we also went on to do some research on the prenhall/nathe website to see what kind of information that we could find. It is a very interesting and helpful website for many different things from research to studying for boards.
The links they have on the website are the following:

None of the websites that we visited such as the ADA, ADHA, or the ADEA website had any informatiion that we could find on the topic of stroke and perio, which modivated us to get do our research so the down the road there will be information on stroke and perio on important websites like these. The word isn't out there like it needs to be.
We found one particular thing very interesting on the prenhall website, the powerpoint titled, Community Groups: Making a Connection. It was very interesting because it touched on many connections between oral health and the overall health of the body, but in specific it discussed stroke and perio.
Another interesting link on the website was to the New York Times. Prentice Hall has partnered with The College Times, a new site from NYTimes.com, to provide you with the latest news on selected disciplines.
It has a place where you can "click here" and it will take you directly to the latest information related to Dentistry and Public Health.
Students and faculty can access a number of additional resources, including career planning information for students and instructional resources for faculty. In addition, students and faculty can also sign up to receive free e-mail alerts when new articles related to their specific areas of study are published on NYTimes.com.
The website was interesting and fun to look at the information on the website and go to the links to other pages that were also useful. We are excited to be able to turn to this website for questions that we might have along the way or for research on our topic.

Needs assessment: 10
We've been discussing ideas for our survey questions. Here's what we have come up with:
1. M F
2. age range, have them circle
3. Do you know what perio is?
4. Do you know what causes perio?
5. Have you ever been told you have perio?
6. Do you know what a stroke is?
7. Do you know what causes a stroke?
8. Do yo thing that an infection in your mouth can cause problems in the rest of your body?
9. Did you know there is a correlation between perio and stroke?
10. After taking this study, would you be interested in learning more about perio?
We would like Kami to help us revise the study when we meet with her next Wednesday. We are not sure how many questions to ask about each research question. Our research questions are:
Do you know what perio is?
Do you know what stroke is?
Do you know there is a correlation between stroke and perio?
We expect our results of this research to be:
It is expected that a small portion of the community is aware of periodontal disease.
People have a low level of knowledge of the effects periodontal disease has on the body.
People are unaware that there is a correlation between periodontal disease and stroke.

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?
