    Area of Science:

    • Dental Hygiene
    • Continuing Education
    • Professional Development

    Background:

    • The American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) surveyed licensed dental hygienists nationwide.
    • The survey covered demographics, practice settings, and continuing education (CE).
    • This paper focuses on the CE aspects of the survey.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore relationships between dental hygienist demographics and CE attendance.
    • To identify factors influencing CE course participation and perceived needs.
    • To compare CE participation across dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of a large, representative sample of US dental hygienists.
    • Analysis of descriptive variables including age, practice type, and CE attendance.

  • Comparison of CE topic participation across different dental professions.

    • Main Results:

    • CE participation is highest among dental hygienists under 25, working full-time in large specialty practices.
    • Dental hygienists show higher participation than dentists or assistants in CE on blood pressure, aseptic technique, AIDS, and CPR.
    • Respondents identified a need for CE in specific areas for all dental personnel.

    Conclusions:

    • Younger dental hygienists and those in specific practice environments are more engaged in CE.
    • Dental hygienists are proactive in acquiring knowledge in critical areas like infection control and emergency response.
    • There is a perceived need for broader CE implementation across the entire dental team.
