Primary dental health aide (PDHA) service-delivery models (PDHA program; PDHA + intensive staffing; PDHA + robust prevention) vs Baseline pre-intervention service-delivery scenario: Projected mean DMFT (children below 5 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 mean DMFT (children below 5 years)
A simulation projected mean DMFT in children under 5 would fall from 7.4 to 4.9 under the PDHA model (certainty not graded).

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.
