O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil dos pacientes fumantes que
frequentam as clínicas de um Curso de Odontologia no sul do Brasil e a opinião dos
mesmos sobre o papel do cirurgião-dentista na cessação do tabagismo. Trata-se de
um estudo transversal analítico, onde os dados foram coletados por meio de um
questionário contendo questões fechadas e abertas. A amostra compreendeu 442
pacientes e os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e do teste
Qui-quadrado com nível de significância de 5%. A idade média foi de 48,5 anos e 93
pacientes (21,04%) eram fumantes, a maioria do sexo feminino (52,7%). Verificou-se
associação significativa entre fumo, escolaridade e renda, sendo que quanto menor
a escolaridade, maior a frequência de fumantes (p=0,026), e a frequência de não
fumantes esteve associada a uma maior renda (p=0,021). Dos fumantes
entrevistados, 95,7% gostariam de abandonar o hábito, 81,7% já tentaram parar e
apenas 23,7% têm conhecimento de grupos de apoio à cessação. Em relação ao
papel do cirurgião-dentista na cessação do hábito de fumar, 97,8% dos fumantes
acredita que este deve dar orientações sobre os danos provocados pelo cigarro,
mas 36,6% não receberam informações ou conselhos do dentista. A identificação do
perfil dos pacientes tabagistas permite um melhor planejamento de estratégias em
saúde pública e é imprescindível que todos os profissionais de saúde trabalhem
juntos para ajudar seus pacientes a pararem de fumar. Neste contexto, o papel do
cirurgião-dentista é fundamental, pois seus pacientes esperam receber informações
e conselhos para a cessação.

descriptive statistics and Chi Square test with a significance level of 5%. The mean
age was 48.5 years old and 93 patients (21.04%) were smokers, most of them
women (52.7%). A significant association was found between smoking and
schooling, as well as between smoking and income. The lower the level of schooling,
the higher the frequency of smokers was (p=0.026), and the frequency of nonsmokers was associated with a higher income (p=0.021). Among tobacco users,
95.7% would like to quit smoking, 81.7% had tried at least once to stop and only
23.7% have knowledge of counselling groups for cessation. Regarding the role of
dentists in tobacco use cessation, 97.8% of smokers believe that the dentist should
give information and advice about the damage caused by smoking, but 36.6% did not
receive any advice from dentists. Evaluating the profile of smokers allows a better

INTRODUÇÃO
O tabagismo ainda constitui um dos principais problemas de saúde pública em
todo o mundo. A mortalidade e a morbidade atribuídas ao tabagismo constituem um
problema crescente, principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento, principal alvo
das indústrias de tabaco na atualidade. Além disso, o fumo gera um impacto
significativo para a economia dos países, representado pelos custos da assistência
médica para o sistema de saúde e pela perda de produtividade devido à morte
precoce e morbidade. O custo total atribuível ao tabagismo para o sistema de saúde
no Brasil em um ano foi de R$ 20,69 bilhões, sem estimar os custos do tabagismo
passivo (ALDERETE, 2014; ALIANÇA DE CONTROLE AO TABAGISMO, 2011).
Atualmente, 29% da população mundial é fumante (FDI/WHO, 2005), e o
cigarro é responsável por quase seis milhões de mortes todos os anos (WHO, 2011).
No Brasil, a prevalência do uso de cigarro é de 17,2% (IBGE, 2009) e o hábito é a
causa de 13% de todas as mortes no país (ALIANÇA DE CONTROLE AO
TABAGISMO, 2011), excedendo a soma das mortes por alcoolismo, AIDS, acidentes
de trânsito, homicídios e suicídios (INCA, 2007). O cigarro contém mais de 4000
substâncias tóxicas, das quais pelo menos 50 são comprovadamente carcinogênicas
(WHO, 2011). Ele é fator causal de quase 50 doenças incapacitantes e fatais (INCA,
2007) e tem impacto na saúde oral e geral, sendo fator de risco para o câncer
(principalmente quando associado ao consumo de álcool), lesões potencialmente
malignas como a leucoplasia, doenças periodontais, halitose, perda de implantes,
candidíase oral e língua pilosa (REIBEL, 2003; FERREIRA ANTUNES, 2013;
BUSENLECHNER, 2014; JOHNSON & SLACH, 2001).
A idade média de iniciação ao fumo é 15 anos, transformando o tabagismo em
um problema pediátrico (INCA, 2007). O consumo de tabaco é aprendido e
tipicamente iniciado durante a adolescência, quando a necessidade de adquirir
aceitação adaptando-se aos grupos sociais é particularmente forte (CHRISTEN et
al., 2001). Entre os fatores que influenciam a iniciação ao tabagismo na
adolescência pode-se destacar a influência dos amigos, morar com alguém que
fuma e a crença de que o cigarro tem um efeito calmante e é eficaz em controlar o
peso (BERNAT, KLEIN & FORSTER, 2012). A presença de pais e irmãos fumantes
também é um fator de influência, além das mensagens disseminadas pela mídia,
11
atualmente por meio de filmes e séries (CHRISTEN et al., 2001).
Entender o mecanismo da dependência nicotínica e como ela influencia as
tentativas de cessação é essencial para a elaboração de estratégias de suporte aos
tabagistas. A nicotina é encontrada na folha do tabaco e após ser inalada e entrar na
corrente sanguínea, atinge o cérebro em 7 a 10 segundos. Ela promove o
relaxamento muscular, aumento da frequência cardíaca e respiratória e aumento da
pressão arterial, sendo utilizada com o objetivo de melhorar a concentração e a
energia e pelo seu suposto efeito calmante. Assim como ocorre com outras
substâncias viciantes, os fumantes desenvolvem uma tolerância após um tempo de
uso, passando a exigir maiores quantidades de tabaco para alcançar os mesmos
efeitos (CHRISTEN et al., 2012). Além disso, a dependência à nicotina está
conectada a dois outros fatores: a dependência psicológica e fatores socioculturais
(CHRISTEN et al., 2001).
Com o objetivo de combater a epidemia do tabagismo, políticas de saúde
pública têm sido criadas nos últimos anos. O Brasil foi um dos 180 países que
ratificaram a Convenção-Quadro para o Controle do Tabaco da Organização
Mundial de Saúde (CQCT), que articula ações multissetoriais para proteger as
gerações presentes e futuras das consequências sociais, sanitárias, ambientais e
econômicas ocasionadas pelo uso e pela exposição à fumaça do tabaco. Ela
também tem o intuito de proteger as políticas públicas dos interesses da indústria do
tabaco (INCA, 2007; ALDERETE, 2014). Entre as principais leis e medidas de
controle ao tabagismo implementadas no Brasil, destaca-se a proibição de
publicidade de produtos de tabaco nos pontos de venda, aumento dos impostos
sobre os cigarros, proibição do fumo em todos os ambientes coletivos totais ou
parcialmente fechados, privados ou públicos e a obrigatoriedade de inclusão de
advertências sanitárias em 100% de um dos lados do maço de cigarros. A partir de
2016 serão adicionadas advertências também em 30% da face frontal da
embalagem (BRASIL. Lei nº 12.546, de 14 de dezembro de 2011; BRASIL. Decreto
nº 8.262, de 31 de maio de 2014.).
Apesar dos constantes esforços dos Estados em garantir a saúde acima de
qualquer interesse particular, a indústria do tabaco cria obstáculos à implementação
da legislação e articula estratégias contra as políticas de controle do tabagismo. No
Brasil, por exemplo, a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária realizou uma
12
consulta pública em 2010 que resultou em uma resolução proibindo o uso de
aditivos como mentol, cravo e outros aromatizantes nos cigarros, usados para tornálos mais palatáveis e atrativos, principalmente para os jovens. No entanto, a
indústria do tabaco conseguiu impedir a aplicação da resolução através de uma
liminar concedida pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal em 2013, disseminando a ideia de
que tais medidas causariam um impacto negativo sobre a economia brasileira,
gerando o desemprego dos produtores de fumo e estimulando o contrabando
(ALDERETE, 2014). A indústria tem focado sua expansão no público jovem dos
países em desenvolvimento, e por isso busca atrativos para promover a iniciação ao
fumo. O Brasil é o segundo maior produtor e o maior exportador de tabaco e
milhares de famílias de pequenos agricultores inseridas nessa cadeia produtiva
encontram-se em situação de vulnerabilidade social, econômica e sanitária. Estes
produtores estão expostos ao risco de intoxicações por agrotóxicos usados no
cultivo do fumo e ao desenvolvimento da doença da folha verde do tabaco, causada
pela absorção de nicotina na colheita da folha do tabaco (INCA, 2007; RIQUINHO;
HENNINGTON, 2014).
Vários desafios ainda precisam ser enfrentados para a redução do consumo
de tabaco e de seu impacto na sociedade. Os cigarros brasileiros estão entre um
dos mais baratos do mundo, facilitando a iniciação entre os jovens. Há também um
aumento na prevalência de fumantes entre as mulheres, e uma maior concentração
de tabagistas na população de menor escolaridade e renda. Logo, esforços devem
ser concentrados para combater essas desigualdades. Além disso, o acesso ao
tratamento para cessação do tabagismo no SUS ainda é incipiente, com apenas
6,8% dos municípios brasileiros oferecendo o serviço à população. Os cursos de
graduação da área da saúde ainda não inserem o controle do tabagismo na grade
curricular, formando profissionais com pouca ou nenhuma capacitação para atuar na
prevenção e cessação do tabagismo (INCA, 2007).
Cirurgiões-dentistas, assim como outros profissionais da área da saúde, têm a
obrigação ética de fornecer informações aos seus pacientes sobre os danos
provocados pelo cigarro e de motivar os tabagistas a pararem de fumar (CHRISTEN
et al., 2012). Quando doenças orais causadas pelo fumo são diagnosticadas, o
aconselhamento e suporte à cessação torna-se uma parte essencial do tratamento
13
odontológico e não podem ser ignorados. Atualmente 266.530 cirurgiões-dentistas
estão em atividade no Brasil (CONSELHO FEDERAL DE ODONTOLOGIA, 2015), e
aproximadamente 9.000 novos dentistas se formam anualmente no país (MORITA,
HADDAD & ARAÚJO, 2010). A grande frequência de visitas de pacientes nos
consultórios dentários possibilita repetidas intervenções para a cessação do
tabagismo, resultando em um ganho significativo para a saúde e na redução da
prevalência de uso de tabaco (FDI/WHO, 2005). O suporte à cessação do tabagismo
continua sendo uma das mais importantes estratégias no combate ao fumo, e todos
os profissionais de saúde devem estar conscientes da sua responsabilidade no
apoio aos fumantes.

Introduction
Smoking remains one of the greatest public health concerns worldwide.
Currently, there are an estimated 1.3 billion smokers in the world, which represents
29% of the global population (1). Almost six million people die from tobacco use
every year, both from direct tobacco use and second-hand smoke (2). Smoking
prevalence among Brazilian adults is 17.2% (3) and the habit is responsible for 13%
of all deaths in this country (4). Tobacco consumption also produces a significant
burden for the economy. A 2010 report showed that R$ 20,69 billion (approximately
U$7 billion) was spent in that year in Brazil to treat tobacco-related diseases, such as
cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and some types of cancer (4).
Smoking tobacco contains over 4000 chemicals, of which at least 50 are
carcinogenic (2). It has many harmful effects both on the oral and overall health. It is
a risk factor for cancer (especially when combined with alcohol consumption),
premalignant lesions such as leukoplakia, periodontal diseases, halitosis, oral
candidosis and hairy tongue. Continued smoking is extremely detrimental to the
success of periodontal therapy and can be the cause of implant failure (5-8).
To tackle tobacco epidemic, public policies have been created in the past
years, such as restrictions on tobacco advertisements and public campaigns
promoting smoking prevention and cessation. Laws establishing smoke-free
environments, including pubs and restaurants, were adopted aiming to protect all the
population from passive smoking, and to motivate smokers to quit (9). Increasing
cigarette prices is also an effective measure to reduce tobacco use, mainly among
adolescents (10).
Offering assistance in quitting is one of the most effective strategies to control
tobacco use. Quit rates are significantly higher when the individual has support
(11,12). Tobacco cessation treatment is a cost-effective intervention whose positive
outcomes also include the early detection of oral cancer - which is decisive to the
success of the treatment – and the opportunity to teach patients how to do an oral
self-examination (13). Identifying the patterns of smoking and the level of nicotine
addiction is important to guide strategies for cessation.
17
Despite the damage caused by smoking, many health professionals do not
provide any treatment or information to tobacco users, or even referral into smoking
cessation services, in part because of a lack of knowledge and skills (14). Dentists
could significantly contribute to tobacco cessation, informing and advising their
patients and intervening at individual and community levels (15). Patients visit their
dentist more than once in a year, giving an excellent opportunity for dentists to
contribute to tobacco prevention and cessation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of tobacco users, their interest
in quitting and dental patients’ views about the role of dentists in smoking cessation.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was carried out in the Dental School of Federal
University of Santa Maria, in Santa Maria, southern Brazil. The project was approved
by the Local Ethical Committee.
A convenience sample was used with patients of the dental clinics who were
18 years of age or older. Data collection occurred between 2013 and 2014, when
patients of different clinics, smokers and non-smokers, were approached before or
after their dental appointment in the waiting room. The researcher assessed eligibility
to participate, read a plain language statement describing the project to each
potential participant and written informed consent was obtained before proceeding
with data collection. Patients were asked to answer a face-to-face interview with
twelve closed and open questions assessing the profile of tobacco users, their
interest in quitting smoking and patients’ opinions on the role of dentists in tobacco
use cessation. Smokers who answered the first interview were invited to participate in
a second interview containing six questions evaluating the level of nicotine
dependence through Fagerström Tolerance Questionnaire.
The statistical analysis was performed with Statistical Package for Social
Science (SPSS), version 17. Data was analysed by descriptive statistics and Chi
Square test was applied. T-test was used to test the difference between the age’s
averages. The level of statistical significance was set at p≤0.05.
18
Results
A total of 442 patients answered the first interview assessing the profile of
smokers and patients’ views about the role of dentists in smoking cessation. Among
the participants, 146 were men (33%) and 296 were women (67%). Ninety-three (93)
smokers answered the second interview evaluating their level of nicotine addiction.
Demographic results are outlined in Table 1. The mean age was 48.5 years old and
93 patients (21.04%) were smokers, most of them women (52.7%). There is a higher
frequency of smokers among men (0.001).

A significant association was found between smoking and schooling, as well
as between smoking and income. The lower the level of schooling, the higher the
frequency of smokers was (p=0.026), and the frequency of non-smokers was
associated with a higher income (p=0.021). Socioeconomics characteristics are
shown in Table 2. Among tobacco users, 95.7% would like to quit smoking and
81.7% had tried at least once to stop, with an average of 185 days without smoking
before relapsing. Only 23.7% smokers have knowledge of counselling groups for
cessation.

Regarding the role of dentists in tobacco use cessation, 97.8% of smokers
believe that dentists should give information and advice about the damage caused by
smoking, but 36.6% did not receive any advice from them. The majority of

Discussion
Identifying the profile of tobacco users and their level of nicotine dependence
is essential for planning cessation strategies. The pattern of smoking varies
according to the countries and their culture, but previous studies have shown that
generally the frequency of smoking is highest amongst people of low income and
educational background (1), which is consistent with the findings of the current study.
Reducing inequalities in smoking is a key public health priority and tobacco
prevention and cessation policies should be focused on this target audience (16).
21
The majority of women found in our sample, even among smokers, can be explained
by the fact that women are generally more concerned than men with their oral health
and search more for dental services. Participants of this study, including smokers,
have positive attitudes towards the law establishing smoke-free environments,
showing that the population is getting more conscious of the damage of smoking in
society.
Findings from our study have shown that the greatest majority of smokers
were willing to quit and had attempted at least once to stop smoking, but most of
them did not succeed. Besides, a few people were aware of community resources to
help them, indicating gaps in advertising counselling groups in the city. Difficulties
experienced during quit attempts include irritability, aggression, urge to smoke,
restlessness, increased appetite, nighttime awakenings and depression (11).
A
significant number of participants of this study have a high or very high level of
nicotine
dependence,
which
indicates
they
will
need
counselling
and
pharmacotherapy to help them quit smoking. Tobacco use cessation therapies, such
as individual or group-based counselling (12), nicotine replacement therapy (17) and
other pharmacotherapies (18) can enhance treatment outcomes, improving the odds
of quitting. The combination of counselling and medication can significantly improve
cessation rates (19) and providing follow-up can produce additional benefit (12).
Several medications are currently available for helping tobacco users to quit.
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) temporarily replaces the nicotine from cigarettes
to reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms and acute cravings, facilitating the transition
from smoking to complete abstinence. This therapy increases the rate of long-term
quitting by approximately 50 to 70% and is commercially available in a variety of
forms, such as gum, transdermal patch, nasal spray and inhaler (17). Other
medications have been proved to help people to quit, such as bupropion and
varenicline. Bupropion is an antidepressant which works by blocking nicotine effects,
relieving withdrawal or reducing depressed mood. The comparison between
bupropion and NRT suggests no advantage for either therapy (18). Varenicline is a
nicotine receptor partial agonist and it is suggested that it is more effective than NRT
and bupropion to help quit smoking. It more than doubled the odds of quitting
compared with placebo (18). Adapting interventions to match smokers’ needs and
22
expectations may improve treatment outcomes. Health professionals should consider
the experiences of smokers in past quit attempts – such as difficulties, side effects of
smoking
cessation
medications
-
and
consider
their
preferences
before
recommending a cessation therapy (11).
Dentists can easily identify smokers and the impact of tobacco use in the
mouth, but their role in smoking cessation is not clear yet. Currently, there are
266,530 dentists (20) in Brazil and approximately 9,000 new dentists graduate
annually in the country (21). Dentists are in a unique position to contribute to tobacco
control. They have regular contact with patients and can easily identify the impact of
tobacco use in the mouth in a routine exam (1). First of all, dentists have an ethical
responsibility to advise all smokers to quit (13). Moreover, studies have shown that a
brief intervention for smoking cessation performed by the dentist will often result in
significant health gain, reducing the prevalence of smoking (1). When oral diseases
caused by tobacco use are diagnosed, cessation counselling is an essential part of
the treatment and cannot be neglected.
Oral professionals can intervene at individual and community levels to
contribute to the decrease of tobacco consumption. Individual approach occurs at
chair side, where the dentist spends a few minutes at every visit encouraging their
patients to quit smoking by highlighting the damage caused by tobacco use to oral
tissues and to general health and emphasizing the health benefits of quitting, always
offering support (15). For a basic intervention, dentists can use a protocol known as
the “Five As”, where they should ASK patients about their tobacco use at every
appropriate opportunity, ADVISE all smokers to quit, ASSESS their willingness to
make a quit attempt, ASSIST them in stopping and ARRANGE for supportive followup procedures (22). Community intervention includes spreading information and
educational material through mass media and community events, participating in
counselling groups for cessation and acting as a role model by not using tobacco
(15).
Although dentists have the opportunity to inform and motivate their patients to
stop smoking, this is not a routine in the dental care. The findings of the current study
are consistent with the findings of previous work (23,24), showing that patients
expect dentists to give information and advice about smoking, but many people did
23
not receive any information about the damage caused by tobacco use. Major barriers
identified by dentists to smoking cessation in the dental setting are lack of
reimbursement, time constraints, not knowing where to refer, lack of training and
knowledge, and not feeling well prepared and confident of doing so (25,26,27).
Dentists have generally positive attitudes toward the effectiveness of providing
tobacco cessation services in the dental settings, thus engaging dental professionals
in effective training and providing resources could address a number of the outlined
barriers, such as lack of knowledge, training and confidence (27). The health
department of Brazilian government offers a free training of tobacco cessation for
health professionals who work in the public service. Online training programs are
also available for health professionals, but attention is needed for the quality of these
courses (14).
The implementation of tobacco cessation programs into dental universities is
another way of involving future dentists in the duty of smoking cessation and there is
evidence of the effectiveness of this action (13,22). The Indiana University tobacco
cessation program has been successfully employed in the School of Dentistry for
more than twenty years, with the one-month quit rate of 58 percent and the one-year
quit rate of 33 percent (22). Generally, dental school curriculum concentrates on
tobacco effects in the oral cavity, but does not focus on cessation techniques.
Including tobacco cessation treatment programs into dental school curriculum would
capacitate dental students to help their patients on quit attempts and prescribe
medications when necessary. Moreover, it would make them aware of their
professional responsibility and important contribution to tackle tobacco consumption.
The use of a convenient sample is a limitation of the current study, which
allows only an internal validity of the results. As with any such research, bias may be
present, considering that all participants were patients of a dental service and most of
them were positive about the role of dentists in tobacco control. This study raises
important questions associated with the challenge of cessation faced by smokers and
health professionals. Further research is required to gain a clearer understanding of
the role of dentists in smoking cessation and prevention, including the opinion of
dental professionals, practical experiences and barriers related to tobacco cessation
programs in the dental setting.

CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS
Este trabalho possibilitou a identificação do perfil dos pacientes fumantes do
Curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, incluindo seu nível
de dependência nicotínica. Além disso, avaliou o papel do cirurgião-dentista no
auxílio à cessação do tabagismo, colaborando para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa
científica. Pôde-se observar que ainda há dificuldades no encaminhamento de
pacientes para grupos de apoio à cessação em Santa Maria, pois só há um grupo
em atividade que não suporta toda a demanda da região. Qualquer profissional das
Unidades Básicas de Saúde ou Estratégias de Saúde da Família pode criar um
grupo de apoio ao abandono do tabagismo e prescrever a terapia de reposição de
nicotina. A prescrição de antidepressivos também é oferecida pelo Sistema Único de
Saúde para fumantes com dependência elevada à nicotina. Para a capacitação dos
profissionais das equipes, o Ministério da Saúde oferece um treinamento gratuito
que ensina as técnicas e abordagens mais adequadas no tratamento dos fumantes,
assim como a prescrição dos medicamentos que auxiliam a cessação.
O tratamento para cessação do tabagismo pode ser realizado por qualquer
profissional da saúde e o cirurgião-dentista deve colaborar mais ativamente no
combate ao fumo, orientando seus pacientes e oferecendo suporte em todo o
tratamento.

individual tables and figures. Number pages consecutively in the upper right-hand
corner of each page, beginning with the title page. Our reference book is MerriamWebster Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition (Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster,
2003).
Format and Style of Scientific Articles
Title Page. To facilitate the masked review process, include a title page giving only
the title of the manuscript and not identifying authorship. Authors’ names should not
appear on any manuscript page.
Abstract. The second page should carry an abstract of no more than 250 words (150
for Brief Communications) consisting of four paragraphs, labeled Objectives,
Methods, Results, and Conclusions. These sections should describe the problem
being addressed in the study, how the study was performed, the salient results
(without statistical tests), and what the authors conclude from the results.
Key Words. Below the abstract, provide, and identify as such, three to 10 key words
or short phrases that will assist indexers in cross-indexing your article. At least three
terms from the medical subject headings (MeSH) list of Index Medicus should be
used. The use of MeSH headings greatly facilitates the identification of your article by
online search engines and improves the likelihood that interested readers can
retrieve your article. Assistance in locating MeSH headings is provided
at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html
Text. Divide text of scientific articles into sections labeled Introduction, Methods,
Results, and Discussion. For other types of articles, consult recent issues of the
JPHD for further guidance. All acronyms must be spelled out when they first appear
in the text.
39
Introduction. Clearly state the purpose of the article and summarize the rationale for
the study. Give only strictly pertinent references, and do not review the subject
extensively.
Methods. Describe your methods clearly and in sufficient detail to allow other
workers to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including
statistical methods; provide references and brief descriptions for methods that have
been published but are not well known; describe new or substantially modified
methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations. When reporting
investigations involving human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed
were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on
human experimentation.
Results. Present results in logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do
not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or figures; rather emphasize or
summarize only important observations.
Discussion. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and conclusions
that follow from them, particularly as these relate to public health. Do not repeat in
detail data given in the Results section. Include in the Discussion the implications of
the findings and their limitations, and relate the observations to other relevant
studies. Avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not well supported by your
data. State new hypotheses when warranted, but clearly label them as such. Include
recommendations when appropriate.
Acknowledgments. Acknowledge only persons who have made substantive
contributions to the study. Obtain written permission from persons acknowledged by
name, because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions. A
description of sources of funding, financial disclosure, and the role of sponsors must
be included in this section.
Conflicts of Interest. Include this section as part of Acknowledgements, but only if
the authors have personal financial interests related to the subject matters discussed
in the manuscript.
Footnotes and Appendices. Except in tables and figures, footnotes should not be
used. Appendices may be placed on the JPHD website by Blackwell after
consultation with the editor.
References. References for research manuscripts are in general limited to no more
than 30; for brief communications please limit to ten or fewer. The author(s) must
verify cited references against the original documents. JPHD uses the “Vancouver”
40
style and information can be found at the Uniform Requirements page and well as
some
examples
at
(http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html).
Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in parentheses;
number consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Avoid
using abstracts as references. Abstracts not published in the periodical literature
(e.g., printed only in an annual meeting program) may be cited only as written
communications in parentheses in the text. “Unpublished observations” and
“personal communications” may not be used as references, although references to
written, not oral, communications may be inserted (in parentheses) in the text. For
papers accepted but not yet published; designate the journal and add “in press.”
Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted should be cited in the
text as “unpublished observations” (in parentheses). Acceptable forms of references
are based on an ANSI standard style adapted by the National Library of Medicine
and authors are encouraged to refer to the examples of reference styles provided in
the Uniform Requirements. Systematic reviews do not have a specific limitation on
number of references.
Tables. Type each table on a separate page. Number tables with an Arabic numeral
consecutively and supply a brief title for each. Explain in footnotes all nonstandard
abbreviations used in each table. (Please refer to the JPHD, Volume 60, No. 4, page
347-8 to confirm these characters if you plan to use these symbols).
Illustrations and Legends. Submit the required number of complete sets of figures.
Figures should be of a high standard and if necessary, professionally drawn. Label
each figure indicating the number of the figure. Cite each figure in the text in
consecutive order. Type or print out legends for illustrations using double spacing,
starting on a separate page, with Arabic numerals corresponding to the illustrations.
When symbols, arrows, numbers, or letters are used to identify parts of the
illustrations, identify and explain each one clearly in the legend. Explain the internal
scale and identify the method of staining in photomicrographs. The Journal cannot
reproduce color images or figures.
Photographs of People. The Journal of Public Health Dentistry follows current
HIPAA guidelines for the protection of patient/subject privacy. If an individual
pictured in a digital image or photograph can be identified, his or her permission is
required to publish the image. The corresponding author may submit a letter signed
the patient authorizing the Journal of Public Health Dentistry to publish the
image/photo. Or, a form provided by the Journal of Public Health Dentistry
(available here or by clicking the “instructions and Forms” link in Manuscript Central)
may be downloaded for your use. The approval must be received by the Editorial
Office prior to final acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Otherwise, the
image/photo must be altered such that the individual cannot be identified (black bars
over eyes, tattoos, scars, etc.). The Journal of Public Health Dentistry will not publish
41
patient photographs that will in any way allow the patient to be identified, unless the
patient has given their express consent.
Publication
Prior and Duplicate Publication. Manuscripts are not accepted for consideration if
they are based on work that has been or will be published or submitted elsewhere
before appearing in the JPHD. Exceptions are consistent with the policy on duplicate
or redundant publication developed by the International Committee of Medical
Journal
Editors
Ann
Intern
Med
1997;126(1):36-47;
or
online
at http://www.acponline.org/journals/resource/unifreqr.htm. Copies of any closely
related manuscripts should be submitted to the editor along with the manuscript that
is to be considered by the JPHD.
Authorship
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship. Each author should
have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content.
Authorship credit should be based only on substantial contributions to: (1) conception
and design, or analysis and interpretation of the data; and to (2) drafting the article or
revising it critically for important intellectual content; and on (3) final approval of the
version to be published. Conditions 1, 2, and 3 must all be met. The editor may ask
for verification of these conditions for each author.
Copyright Issues
JPHD encourages the posting of manuscripts resulting from NIH-funded research to
PubMed Central (www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov) in order to promote public access to
critical research findings. Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication in
JPHD may post the final, edited version of the manuscript as soon as the printed
journal version is distributed.
Submission of Manuscripts and Correspondence
Manuscripts should be submitted through the ScholarOne Manuscripts site
at:http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jphd. Follow the guidelines for submitting at the
site.
Questions on manuscript submission, cover letters, and copyright assignments
should be directed to the journal administrator at: ssteil@associationcentral.org.
Questions regarding the appropriateness of articles for the journal or questions about
the review and acceptance process should be directed to the editor
at: rjw1@dental.pitt.edu.
A covering letter, signed by all authors, should be mailed or FAXED (217-529-9120)
to be received at the same time as the manuscript. A scanned copy of a signed letter,
sent electronically as a PDF, is also acceptable. It should include (1) information on
prior or duplicate publication or submission elsewhere of any part of the work as
defined in the Uniform Requirements; (2) a statement of financial or other
42
relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest; (3) a statement that the
manuscript has been read and approved by all the authors, that the requirements for
authorship have been met, and that each author believes that the manuscript
represents honest work; and (4) the name, address, and telephone number of the
corresponding author who is responsible for communicating with the other authors
about revisions and final approval of the proofs. A scanned copy of the signed letter
may be sent electronically or mailed to the journal administrator at above address.
Manuscript Submitted Previously to Another Journal
If a manuscript recently underwent peer review by another journal, authors should
disclose this information. They should include either the previous critique or a cover
letter with the new submission that explains how the authors have modified the
manuscript to address the previous (outside) critique.
Review and Action
Manuscripts are acknowledged upon receipt, reviewed by the editorial staff, and if
they meet minimal publication criteria, are sent to at least two outside referees for a
blind review.
Accepted manuscripts are examined and editorial revisions likely will be made to add
clarity and to conform to the JPHD style. Authors will be sent proofs prior to printing.
Upon acceptance, papers become the permanent property of the JPHD and may not
be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the
editor.
Peer Reviewer Nominations
The editor selects the reviewers for each submission and encourages
recommendations for reviewers from submitting authors. Thus, during the submission
process, authors may nominate 2 to 4 external referees to review their manuscript
(please provide at least their name and email address). The best reviewers are
authors of publications on which your research builds and which you cite. Peer
reviewers must have a publishing track in the area the manuscript deals with.
When suggesting peer reviewers, conflicts of interests should be avoided, that is,
suggested referees should not:
be from the same department or (ideally) the same university;
have been a research supervisor or graduate student of one of the authors within the
past five years;
have collaborated with one of the authors within the past five years or have plans to
collaborate in the immediate future;
be employees of non-academic organizations with which one of the authors has
collaborated within the past five years;
or be in any other kind of potential conflict of interest situation (eg, personal,
financial).
43
We ask applicants not to contact suggested referees in advance. The editor reserves
the right to send the manuscript to other referees.
Reporting Guidelines for Specific Study Designs
Authors are encouraged to consult best practice guidelines relevant for their research
design.
Research
reports
frequently
omit
important
information.
Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials (RCTs) are highly encouraged and should be
reported in accordance with the CONSORT statement (http://www.consortstatement.org/).
A diagram illustrating the flow of participants through the trial is required
(http://www.consort-statement.org/index.aspx?o=1077). Please complete and include
the CONSORT checklist with the submission.
In accordance with recommendations from the ICMJE (Uniform Requirements) it is
strongly recommended that RCTs be registered in a WHO accredited trial registry
(this is mandatory for industry sponsored trials). Please mention the International
Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) (or a comparable trial
identifier) at the end of the abstract (in brackets), as well as when you first mention
the acronym of a RCT in the manuscript.
Reporting guidelines have also been developed for a number of other study designs
and as JPHD encourages reviewers to use these guidelines during the peer review
process, authors are well advised to use these checklists as well during research
planning
and
manuscript
preparation.
Examples
include:
for observational epidemiology studies the STROBE guidelines (http://www.strobestatement.org/) and for meta-analysis and systematic reviews the QUORUM
statement, (Lancet. 1999 Nov 27;354(9193):1896-900).
Early View
The Journal is part of the Wiley Interscience Early View service. Articles are
published on a regular basis online in advance of their appearance in a print issue.
These articles are fully peer reviewed, edited, and complete—they only lack page
numbers and volume/issue details—and are considered fully published from the date
they first appear online. This date is shown with the article in the online table of
contents. Because Early View articles are considered fully complete, please bear in
mind that changes cannot be made to an article after the online publication date even
if it is still yet to appear in print.
The articles are available as full text HTML or PDF and can be cited as references by
using their Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers. For more information on DOIs,
please seehttp://www.doi.org/faq.html.
To view all the articles currently available, please visit the journal homepage
athttp://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jphd.2008.9999.issue-9999/issuetoc.
Upon print publication, the article will be removed from the Early View area and will
appear instead in the relevant online issue, complete with page numbers and
volume/issue details. No other changes will be made.
44
The implementation of Early View for JPHD represents our commitment to publishing
articles as soon as possible for readers, reducing time to publication considerably
without sacrificing quality or completeness.
NIH Policy
Wiley-Blackwell supports authors by posting the accepted version of articles by NIH
grant-holders to PubMed Central. The accepted version is the version that
incorporates all amendments made during peer review, but prior to the publisher's
copy-editing and typesetting. This accepted version will be made publicly available
12 months after publication in the journal. The NIH mandate applies to all articles
based on research that has been wholly or partially funded by the NIH and that are
accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008. For more information about the
NIH's Public Access Policy, visit http://publicaccess.nih.gov.
Wiley-Blackwell also offers its OnlineOpen and Funded Access services. Upon
payment of the OnlineOpen or Funded Access fee, we will deposit the published
version of the article into PubMed Central, with public availability in PubMed Central
and on the journal's website immediately upon publication.
