Summary
This study tested an online training program called GRIN, designed to help community health workers better support the dental health of high-risk children and teens. 455 health workers took part, completing surveys on their knowledge, attitudes, and confidence before and after the training. The goal was to see if the course could improve their ability to reach out to families about oral health.
