Statement of Problem: The knowledge about erosive dental wear among young adults is under par. Young adults prefer to receice information from their dentist, supplemented by written information in a brochure or e-mail. Young adults indicate that they are more likely to read this information when it applies to themselves. Purpose: The objective of this study was to identify and analyse existing literature pertaining to tailored written information, to be able to make relevant recommendations concerning the to be developed intervention that will generate effective tailored information for young adults concerning erosive dental wear caused by drinks. Material and methods: This study concerns a scoping review in which multiple aspects of the to be developed tailored provision of information are analysed. Therefore mainly elektronical searches were executed in online database PubMed, supplemented by searches in online databases PsycInfo and GoogleScholar. Additional articles were found using forward snowballing. Different types of studies were included between October 2016 and August 2019. Results: Tailoring turned out to be an already known strategy among different levels of medicine, frequently applied and proved as an effective method to establish health behavior changes. This effectivity can, according to theories, be explained by the increased attention for the message, effortful processing of the information and the consistency of the relevant information to the receiver. According the Elaboration Likelihood Model the processing of the tailored information occurs with a higher level of attention, which would lead to longer and stronger changes in the attidude and therewith the health behavior. Some strategies proved effective in tailoring. The tailored provision health information turned out to be more effective when it is based on a psychological health behavior theory or –model, adapted to behavior and demographics, tailored to four to five theoretical concepts, the receiver can identify himself with the images in the information and is presented in a written form. Many psychological health behavior theories and –models were developed until now. Following from this study the Health Action Process Approach is recommended to be used as framework for a tailored intervention. This model, which was developed to explain and predict health behavior, addresses the proven oral health determinants, includes the dimension ‘time’ and takes the gap between intention and performed health behavior into account. The tailoringstrategies personalisation, identification and adaptation of the contents positively influence tailoring in its effectivity. Additionaly, message framing turned out an effective method in oral health care. Currently young adults can receive information and advices concerning erosive dental wear caused by drinks are provided by the ‘Ivoren Kruis’ in the form of a generic flyer. Once the intervention for tailored information will be developed, the perceived usefulness and feasibility by oral health care professionales can be analysed using the Measurement Instrument for Determinants of Innovations. Conclusions: Tailored (written-) information is a promising means for the provision of health information. Recommendations originating from available literature were consolidated into applicable advices and guidances how to proceed for the development of the intervention to provide young adults of tailored information about erosive dental wear caused by drinks.
