The ORAHabit project: promoting oral hygiene habits in oral healthcare

At the Healthy Future seminar, entitled “understanding risky health behaviors”, we presented the findings of our Healthy Future (UvA) seed project, on which I worked together with Dr Catherine Volgenant from ACTA and Marcell Voeller (ResMas student). In this project we developed and tested a brief 15-min habit-based intervention to promote the formation of healthy oral hygiene habits in young adults. This was our first step towards developing feasible, effective behaviour change interventions that can be implemented in the setting of oral healthcare.
