Objective: To enumerate students who accepted/would accept treatment by dental student peers (DSP), describe characteristics of DSP and explore factors associated with determining DSP treatment.
Methods: A 17-item online survey was distributed to students of all levels (383) at Taibah University Dental College and Hospital during the academic year 2019-2020. The survey comprised three sections: section one asked questions about the students' demographics and socioeconomics (family income), section two focused on the acceptance of treatment by DSP, characteristics of DSP, and section three asked about factors influencing acceptance of treatment by DSP.
