Assessment of alcohol and tobacco use in dental schools' health history forms

JA Yellowitz, HS Goodman, AM Horowitz, and MA al-Tannir

Health history forms are an integral component of students' clinical and didactic training in physical assessment and often serve as a model for students to use in their future practices. This study examined how alcohol and tobacco use are assessed in patient health history forms used in the dental schools of the United States and Canada (n = 63). Deans of schools were requested to send a copy of their health history and other supplemental forms used for patient care. The response rate was 98 percent. Almost 25 percent of the schools' forms did not address either alcohol or tobacco use; 37 percent failed to address one or both risk behaviors; 25 percent did not request tobacco information; and 36 percent did not address alcohol use. Major inconsistencies regarding the inclusion, content, and quantity of alcohol and tobacco questions were noted. Consensus among dental schools as to which questions to include in their health forms was not apparent.
