[Primary Care and oral health promotion: Assessment of an educational intervention in school children].

Objective: To evaluate the short and medium term effectiveness of a Primary Care-driven oral health promotion intervention.

Design: A non-randomised community intervention trial.

Setting: Three socio-demographically similar primary schools of a deprived neighborhood in Granada, Spain.

Effectiveness of an intervention to improve diabetes self-management on clinical outcomes in patients with low educational level.

Objective: To determine whether an intervention based on patient-practitioner communication is more effective than usual care in improving diabetes self-management in patients with type 2 diabetes with low educational level.

Methods: 12-month, pragmatic cluster randomised controlled trial. Nine physicians and 184 patients registered at two practices in a deprived area of Granada (Andalusia, Spain) participated in the study.

Effectiveness of two interventions based on improving patient-practitioner communication on diabetes self-management in patients with low educational level: study protocol of a clustered randomized trial in primary care.

Background: In the last decades the presence of social inequalities in diabetes care has been observed in multiple countries, including Spain. These inequalities have been at least partially attributed to differences in diabetes self-management behaviours. Communication problems during medical consultations occur more frequently to patients with a lower educational level.
