Official title
Testing a Mobile App-Based Intervention to Improve Toothbrushing Skills and Habits in Children and Teens With Autism
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the autism-friendly app improves toothbrushing outcomes compared to a control app with only a digital mirror and countdown timer among children and teens (ages 8-17 years) with autism. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will toothbrushing distribution, duration, and frequency be greater in the experimental arm than in the control arm? 2. Will toothbrushing habit formation be higher in the experimental arm than in the control arm? 3. Is caregiver and child self-efficacy a mediator of toothbrushing habit formation? 4. Do children who exhibit habit formation report better oral health-related quality of life? Participants will: 1. Use either the autism-friendly app or the control app during their daily toothbrushing routine for 3 months. 2. Complete surveys and assessments about toothbrushing behaviors and oral health over the course of the study.
