Plain English summary of protocol
Current plain English summary as of 26/10/2020:
Background and study aims
Tooth decay is very common, affecting nearly half of young people aged 12-15 years in deprived areas. Regular tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste can prevent it. In New Zealand a study found that sending unemployed young adults a text message on their mobile phone every week increased how often they brushed their teeth. The aim of this study is to find out whether an intervention which involves a school lesson about dental health followed by a series of text messages reduces tooth decay, increases how often (and how well) young people brush their teeth, and is cost effective.
Who can participate?
Young people aged 11-13 years old (Year 7 and Year 8, 1st Year and 2nd Year in Scotland) in participating schools in deprived areas in England (South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire), Scotland and Wales (South Wales).
What does the study involve?
A pilot study was conducted in 10 schools and recruited 1073 young people between September 2017 and May 2018 to check whether it was possible to run the main study and to find the best ways of doing so. The main study started in September 2018 and aims to involve a total of 48 (updated to 38 on 05/09/2017, updated to 42 schools on 01.05.2019) schools (including the pilot schools) and 5760 (updated to approximately 4560 on 05/09/2017, updated to 5040 on 01/05/2019) young people. In each school one year group is randomly allocated to receive the intervention and another year group does not receive the intervention. Over the following 2.5 years dentists go into the schools to conduct dental examinations and young people and parents/carers are asked to fill out questionnaires to collect information about tooth decay, how often they brush their teeth and how much tooth decay affects their lives. This shows whether there is a difference between those who receive the intervention and those who do not. The researchers also find out how well the intervention is working from school staff, young people and parents/carers.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Although taking part may not directly benefit schools and young people/parents/carers, it is hoped that the results will help other schools and young people in the future to have healthy teeth. Schools are offered £1000 to cover the extra administrative tasks associated with taking part in this study. All young people who complete the first questionnaire and dental assessment are given a £10 shopping voucher to say thank you for their time. Young people are also given a £5 shopping voucher after they have completed the final questionnaire and dental assessment to say thank you. Furthermore, all parents/carers who complete the parents/carer questionnaire are entered into a prize draw with the chance of winning £300 in vouchers (one prize draw annually). There are no known risks from taking part in the study. The burden of participation for young people/parents/carers is minimal, limited to the time taken to complete questionnaires and be seen for dental assessments (young people only). It is hoped that young people will enjoy taking part and benefit from engaging with the study.

What does the study involve?
A pilot study is being conducted in 10 schools with approximately 1200 young people to check whether it is possible to run the main study and to find the best ways of doing so. During the pilot 1073 young people will be randomised into the trial. The main trial aims to recruit a further 32 schools and 3967 young people. Including the pilot, in total the trial aims to recruit 42 schools and 5040 young people in total. In each school one year group is randomly allocated to receive the intervention and another year group does not receive the intervention.

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Dental health |
| Intervention | Current interventions as of 26/10/2020: The BRIGHT project is using a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test whether an intervention which involves a short classroom-based session embedded in the curriculum about dental health followed by a series of text messages reduces tooth decay, increases how often (and how well) young people brush their teeth and to find out how cost-effective it is. The trial is running in schools in deprived areas in England, Scotland and Wales. First, an internal pilot study was conducted, to check whether it was possible to run the main trial and the best ways of doing so. The pilot ran in 10 schools, with 1073 young people. The feasibility of allocating within schools was tested by randomizing these schools, in a ratio of 1:1, into one of two regimes: 1. Pupils of 11-12 years (Year 7, 1st Year in Scotland) received the intervention and pupils of 12-13 years (Year 8, 2nd Year in Scotland) acted as the control group 2. Pupils of 12-13 years (Year 8, 2nd Year in Scotland) received the intervention and pupils of 11-12 years (Year 7, 1st Year in Scotland) acted as the control group An allocation sequence, stratified by school using blocks of size two, was generated by an independent York Trials Unit (YTU) statistician. This process proved feasible in the pilot and limited within-school (i.e. between year group) contamination was observed; therefore, within-school randomisation was also used in the main trial. The pilot showed that the main trial was possible. The trial has randomised 42 schools (10 in the pilot and 32 in the main trial), and a total of 4680 young people aged between 11-13 years of age have been enrolled in the study. Outcome information will be collected for 2.5 years; dentists will go into schools to conduct dental examinations and young people and parents/carers will be asked to fill out questionnaires to collect information about tooth decay, how often they brush their teeth, how much tooth decay affects their lives and health resource use. This will allow the trialists to investigate whether there is a difference between those who receive the intervention and those who do not. The trialists will also find out how well the intervention is working from school staff, young people and parents/carers. Previous interventions from 24/02/2020 to 26/10/2020: The BRIGHT project is using a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test whether an intervention which involves a short classroom-based session embedded in the curriculum about dental health followed by a series of text messages reduces tooth decay, increases how often (and how well) young people brush their teeth and to find out how cost-effective it is.

If the pilot study showed that this method was not feasible and there was found to be excessive contamination between school years, then in the main trial, the unit of randomization would be switched to the school. Schools would be randomized 1:1 to receive the intervention or control. Randomization by school would be undertaken by an independent YTUs statistician using minimization. The pilot showed that the main trial was possible, the trial has recruited 42 schools (10 in the pilot and 32 in the main trial), and a total of 4680 young people aged between 11-13 years of age have been enrolled in the study. The intervention has been allocated within each participating school, in a ratio of 1:1, to one of two regimes: 1. Pupils of 11-12 years (Year 7, 1st Year in Scotland) will receive the intervention and pupils of 12-13 years (Year 8, 2nd Year in Scotland) will act as the control group 2. Pupils of 12-13 years (Year 8, 2nd Year in Scotland) will receive the intervention and pupils of 11-12 years (Year 7, 1st Year in Scotland) will act as the control group Again, an allocation sequence, stratified by school using blocks of size two, was generated by an independent YTU statistician. Outcome information will be collected for 3 years; dentists will go into schools to conduct dental examinations and young people and parents/carers will be asked to fill out questionnaires to collect information about tooth decay, how often they brush their teeth and how much tooth decay affects their lives. This will allow the trialists to investigate whether there is a difference between those who receive the intervention and those who do not. The trialists will also find out how well the intervention is working from school staff, young people and parents/carers.
