190 Chapter 6 MCDM Results: Step 2 Step 2 took place in October 2023. The participants (n = 9) assessed all 15 tools derived from the pressure cooker focus group session (Table 1). Table 2 shows the unweighted total mean scores of tool prototypes in the MCDM (ranked high–low). The results in Table 2 indicate that participants preferred that multiple tools be developed within a toolkit for oral health. The results demonstrate that a brochure for MHNs and patients (prototype 4) achieved the highest unweighted mean score (mean 4.0). Although the awareness screener received slightly lower scores (mean 3.7), the research team elected to incorporate an awareness screener into the brochure as this could provide a tangible way to facilitate dialogue (Table 2).
