Primary dental health aide (PDHA) service-delivery models (PDHA program; PDHA + intensive staffing; PDHA + robust prevention) vs Baseline pre-intervention service-delivery scenario: Projected proportion of caries-free children (5-18 years)

Population
Alaska Native children (below age 18)
Intervention
Primary dental health aide (PDHA) service-delivery models (PDHA program; PDHA + intensive staffing; PDHA + robust prevention)
Comparison
Baseline pre-intervention service-delivery scenario
Outcome
Projected proportion of caries-free children (5-18 years)

A simulation projected 0% of children aged 5-18 would be caries-free under the baseline scenario (certainty not graded).

Projected proportion of caries-free children (5-18 years) · Alaska Native children (below age 18) · 20-year projection, Alaska Native communities (simulation of the Alaska Dental Health Aide program), PDHA or PDHA + intensive staffing model

How reviews are matched to this question

Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
