The Health Belief Model and Pediatric Fissure Sealant Therapy: Identifying Predictors of Parental Behavior—A Cross‐Sectional Study
As the findings showed, the HBM can be an appropriate model to predict the adoption of FST in parents. These findings can improve and advance knowledge about the predictors of FST adoption. These findings can be used to develop effective educational and promotional interventions to increase FST adoption among parents and improve children's oral health.
