A dental hygiene U.S. Public Health Services (USPHS) -commissioned core officer is assigned to an Indian Health Service (IHS) clinic to improve the oral care of pregnant women in an American Indian rural community with a population of 26,000. Approximately 20% of the pregnant women in this population develop gestational diabetes. When a woman first sees the physician in the clinic for prenatal care, she is referred to the dental clinic for a dental examination. Only 25% of the patients referred over the previous 6 months complied with the dental referral, scheduled an appointment, and received treatment. As a result of this, the community is not classified a dental manpower shortage area. A survey of the pregnant women served by this clinic reveals poor health literacy, that is, the women do not realize their risk for diabetes, are unaware of the relationship between oral health status and diabetes, and do not understand the benefits of an oral health assessment in relation to their overall health and the health of their babies.
-On the basis of the results of the survey, which health education theory is indicated as the foundation for an oral health education intervention to improve compliance with the dental referral?


A) Health Belief Model
