简要总结
Hearing and Speech-Impaired Adolescents commonly struggle with maintaining oral health, which can result in an increased risk of oral health problems. Existing oral health education methods have demonstrated limited success in motivating behavior change among this age group. Thus, there is a pressing need to explore innovative approaches that effectively engage and motivate Hearing and Speech-Impaired Adolescents to improve their oral health. The study aims to address this need by evaluating the impact of a novel traffic light colour coded technique assisted with visual aids on enhancing oral health among Hearing and Speech-Impaired Adolescents
