Supplementary files for article "Acceptance among the public of weight screening and interventions delivered by dental professionals: observational study"<br><br><b>Objective</b>: The objective of this study was to explore the acceptability to the public of receiving weight screening and the offer of support to lose weight from dental teams.<br><b>Methods</b>: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with recruitment of adults from dental practices and community and hospital settings in England and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Be Part of Research initiative.<b>Results</b>: A total of 3580 participants were recruited across 22 dental sites and the NIHR Be Part of Research initiative. Sixty percent (<i>n</i> = 2055/3430) of participants reported that they would be comfortable with their height and weight being measured at a dental appointment. Male participants and those of non-White race and ethnicity had significantly increased odds of accepting weight screening (odds ratio [OR]: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.66–2.36; OR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.42–3.03). Fifty-seven percent (<i>n</i> = 1915/3375) of participants reported that it would be acceptable for their dental team to offer support to help with weight management. Male participants and those of non-White race and ethnicity had significantly increased odds of accepting support (OR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.49–2.13; OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.11–2.37). The most accepted form of support was provision of information on local weight-management programs (<i>n</i> = 1989/2379, 83.6%).<b>Conclusions</b>: The public is largely receptive to receiving weight screening and the offer of weight interventions from dental teams. Feasibility studies to test the implementation of lifestyle weight interventions in dental settings are required.<br><br>© The Author(s), CC BY 4.0

本文件为论文《牙科专业人员开展体重筛查与干预的公众接受度：观察性研究》的补充材料

**研究目的**：本研究旨在探讨公众对接受牙科团队开展的体重筛查，以及获取减重支持方案的接受程度。
**研究方法**：本研究为横断面调查，招募对象为英格兰地区牙科诊所、社区及医院的成年人群，同时纳入英国国家健康与护理研究所（National Institute for Health and Care Research, NIHR）「参与研究（Be Part of Research）」项目的参与者。
**研究结果**：本研究共从22个牙科站点及NIHR「参与研究」项目中招募3580名参与者。其中60%的参与者（*n* = 2055/3430）表示，在牙科就诊时测量身高体重可接受。男性参与者及非白人种族/族裔群体接受体重筛查的比值比（odds ratio, OR）显著升高（OR: 1.98, 95%置信区间[CI]: 1.66–2.36; OR: 2.07, 95%CI: 1.42–3.03）。57%的参与者（*n* = 1915/3375）表示，牙科团队提供体重管理支持是可接受的。男性参与者及非白人种族/族裔群体接受该支持的比值比同样显著升高（OR: 1.79, 95%CI: 1.49–2.13; OR: 1.62, 95%CI: 1.11–2.37）。最受认可的支持形式为提供本地体重管理项目相关信息（*n* = 1989/2379, 83.6%）。
**研究结论**：公众总体上对接受牙科团队开展的体重筛查及体重干预方案持接受态度。未来需开展可行性研究，以验证在牙科场景中实施生活方式类体重干预措施的可行性。
