Abstract
A theoretical model developed for the prediction of (ir)regular dental attendance was evaluated with loglinear models (logit approach). The model found is identical to the model developed previously. The prediction of (ir)regularity, however, proved to be unsatisfactory. The disappointing result is attributed to the difficulty of measuring the predictors adequately, and to the possibility that additional variables might be needed.Keywords
