Abstract

Using a social network approach, we characterize who Mexican-origin young adults perceive as social support sources for oral health behaviors and provide additional validity evidence for Oral Health Behavior Social Support Scales (OHBSS). From April to September 2022, we gathered social network data from 62 Mexican-origin adults (21-40 years old) through Zoom interviews about their perceived received social support for three oral health behaviors (toothbrushing, flossing, and obtaining dental care) from three potential sources of support (family, health providers, and others/friends). Overall, we found similar results across all three oral health behaviors. We also found evidence for convergent and discriminant validity of OHBSS scales using social network measures. Implications of findings are discussed.

使用社会网络方法表征墨西哥裔年轻人的口腔健康行为社会支持。

使用社会网络方法，我们描述了墨西哥裔年轻人认为谁是口腔健康行为的社会支持来源，并为口腔健康行为社会支持量表（OHBSS）提供了额外的效度证据。从2022年4月至9月，我们通过Zoom访谈收集了62名墨西哥裔成年人（21-40岁）的社交网络数据，了解他们从三个潜在支持来源（家庭、卫生服务提供者和其他人/朋友）那里感知到的对三种口腔健康行为（刷牙、使用牙线和获得牙科护理）的社会支持。总的来说，我们在所有三种口腔健康行为中发现了相似的结果。我们还发现了使用社会网络测量OHBSS量表的收敛效度和判别效度的证据。讨论了研究结果的含义。
