Description
Emilie Bryne, Kathrine Høyvik Bergum, and William Gilje Gjedrem set out a trial protocol for improving prisoners' oral health, in a paper published in two thousand twenty-four. Prisoners suffer poor oral health from limited care access, poverty, and low prioritization. A pilot using motivational interviewing showed promise.
Four prisons in Norway's Rogaland County recruited toward three hundred twenty inmates. Participants are randomized to oral hygiene packages with or without motivational interviewing, a thirty-minute counseling session among the intervention components. The trial is multicenter and double-blinded by design. Protocols published in advance lock methods before results arrive. If counseling plus supplies beat supplies alone, prison health services gain an inexpensive, scalable intervention.
