Abstract:
Conducting research using a collaborative model is one mechanism for increasing participation in dental hygiene research by clinicians with limited research backgrounds and skills. This paper describes the learning process of collaborative research using a descriptive pilot study planned and implemented by a team of experienced researcher/educators and inexperienced dental hygienists. Formation and development of the research team and identification of the research topic are discussed; details from the pilot study illustrate delegation of roles and duties, and basic research methodology. Their successful interaction showed that such participation could translate into increased research activity, which would add to the dental hygiene knowledge base.
