Abstract |
In dentistry, measures of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) provide essential information for assessing treatment needs, making clinical decisions and evaluating interventions, services and programmes. The two most common measures used to examine child OHRQoL today are the Child Perceptions Questionnaire at two ages, 8-10 and 11-14 (CPQ₈₋₁₀, CPQ₁₁₋₁₄). The reliability and validity of these two versions have been demonstrated together with that (more recently) of the short-form 16-item impact version of the CPQ₈₋₁₀. This study set out to examine the reliability and validity of the Child Oral Health Quality of Life Questionnaires (COHQOL) instruments the CPQ₈₋₁₀ and impact short-form CPQ₁₁₋₁₄ in 5-to-8-year-old New Zealand children, and to determine whether a single measure for children aged 5-14 is feasible. |
