N1 - 29 N2 - This study calls attention to the preliminary validation of an educational poster on oral hygiene intended for people at least 65 years old living in a group home or benefiting from home care. The poster aims to modify certain risk behaviours. Twenty-four people from a middle class background participated in the study and were recruited from a day centre for the elderly of the Montreal region (Quebec, Canada). This study was carried out in three steps: the conceptualisation of the poster and two pre-tests. Interviews and the “focus group” method were both utilised for the collection of pertinent data. The two pre-tests indicated that the poster was easy to read, attractive and promoted the development of new skills in older people and the putting into practice of the conveyed messages UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-sante-publique-2001-3-page-277?lang=en ER -
