Proposed Project 

Evaluating Channels for 

Dissemination and Influencing Factors 

for Implementation of CDC’s Dental 

Infection Control Guidelines-NewNational Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention’s (CDC) Dental Unit plans to 

conduct an evaluation of the acceptance 

and implementation of its 2003 

Guidelines for Infection Control in 

Dental Health Care Settings. These 

Guidelines took an evidence-based 

approach to recommending infection 

control procedures, coalescing existing 

guidelines developed over the past 

decade with new infection control 

measure recommendations supported by 

research. In releasing the Guidelines just 

over two years ago, the CDC mailed 

more than 400,000 copies to practicing 

dentists, hygienists, dental schools and 

educators, and health science libraries. 

CDC also prepared a summary of the 

Guidelines that were published in the 

Journal of the American Dental 

Association (JADA) in early 2004. At 

this time, it is critical to the Dental 

Unit’s dissemination plan to mount an 

evaluation of the effectiveness of CDC’s 

activities in moving the behavior of 

practicing dentists in the direction of 

increased adoption and implementation 

of recommendations put forth in the 

Guidelines. 

CDC has contracted with the Research 

Triangle Institute (RTI) and its 

subcontractor, the American Dental 

Association (ADA), to design and 

conduct the first phase of such an 

evaluation. This phase includes 

conducting a mail survey to a 

probability sample of 6,500 dentists 

actively engaged in the private practice 

of clinical dentistry in the United States. 

The sample will be selected from the 

ADA’s dentist Master file, the nation’s 

most up-to-date and complete listing of 

U.S. dentists. The Master file is 

associated with extensive descriptive 

information on U.S. dentists based on 

returns to other ADA survey and 

updating activities. Included in the 

master file is information that will allow 

the sample to: Be selected with equal 

precision from the U.S. Census 

Divisions; include over-representation 

of selected specialties, i.e., oral surgery 

and periodontics; identify dentists in 

private practice; and weight the sample 

according to selected demographic and 

professional characteristics so the 

results can accurately reflect all active 

private practice dentists in the U.S. We 

expect to achieve a response rate of at 

least 70 percent, which will yield 4,550 

completed questionnaires. There are no 

costs to respondents other than their 

time to participate in the survey. The 

total estimated annual burden hours are 

1,138.
