2022
Overview
A mixed method case study procedure was employed for this research. The quantitative approach utilized survey questionnaire to collect self reported baseline oral health information among adults ages 18 and older in Liberia, West Africa. Forty two case study participants provided direct written responses to 27 survey questions with emphasis on case study participants oral health behaviors, oral health history, oral health problems and psychosocial factors. Direct response interview questions and a focus group discussion made up the qualitative fragment of the case study. Fifteen participants completed 10 questions and provided self reported information pertaining to their oral health habits and practices. Ten case study participants discussed 4 questions primarily focused on case study participants barriers to attaining good oral health status. An excel spreadsheet was used to compile participants responses from survey questionnaire data using frequency counts for nominal variables. The direct response interview questions and focus group discussion responses were analyzed by itemizing and grouping participants written statements and key words into specific category to generate themes and patterns in helping to extrapolate participants overall viewpoints. Responses gathered from the survey questionnaire indicated that oral health conditions among respondents were satisfactory in relation to the lack of oral health services and poor oral health literacy among case study participants.
