Understanding barriers to changing risky eating in families of kids with severe early childhood caries

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study explores obstacles and enablers that influence families’ ability to adopt healthier eating habits after a child’s conservative dental treatment under general anesthesia. Researchers conduct semi-structured interviews with parents, recording and transcribing conversations to identify themes affecting dietary changes. The goal is to understand factors that support or hinder behavior change to reduce caries recurrence. Data collection involves careful handling of audio recordings and removal of identifying details. The study is conducted at the Clermont-Ferrand university hospital and related care units.
