Detailed Information/Report on Activities
This research aims to adapt Japan’s successful 8020 Campaign model for implementation in Indonesian schools using nudge theory principles. The 8020 Campaign established a clear, measurable goal: maintaining at least 20 natural teeth by age 80, which research shows is sufficient for comfortable eating. Building on the campaign’s proven success in Japan, this study will:
1. Evaluate how behavioral nudges can guide Indonesian schoolchildren toward better dental health habits
2. Develop a comprehensive school dental health program that integrates these evidence-based approaches
