An empirically derived population‐response model of the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile

Abstract

The definitive version is available at www.blackwell-synergy.comThe aim of this paper was to model the consequences of dental conditions from an empirical basis and to test the model's ability to predict response combinations. ... The empirically derived model followed a similar hierarchical pattern to the base model underlying the long-form version of the measure (thereby supporting the validity of the OHIP14 measure) and was strongly predictive of the pattern of responses obtained from Australian adults.N.
