A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Professions Education
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Oral diseases pose a significant public health challenge in the WHO African region, exacerbated by a shortage of dental professionals.
  • Integrating oral health promotion into noncommunicable disease (NCD) management is crucial for improving access to essential oral health services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, tiered oral health workforce in the WHO African region, starting with community health workers (CHWs).
  • To create a competency-based oral health training curriculum utilizing combined in-person and digital/mobile learning (mOral Health).

Main Methods:

  • A six-step curriculum development model was employed, focusing on needs assessment, goal setting, and objective definition.
  • The curriculum development followed established principles for health professions education, incorporating a logic model framework.

Main Results:

  • The developed mOral Health curriculum is the first competency-based training program for CHWs in the WHO African region, designed for universal accessibility.
  • The curriculum leverages digital technologies and aligns with the WHO mHealth initiative and Global Strategy on Oral Health.

Conclusions:

  • The mOral Health curriculum provides a foundation for an evidence-based, tiered oral health workforce in Africa.
  • This initiative will integrate oral health services into the WHO African Regional Office's agenda for NCD prevention and management.
