This program for PCs accompanies the paper: Humphris, G., Crawford, J. R., Hill, K., Gilbert, A., & Freeman, R. (2013). UK population norms for the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale with percentile calculator: Adult Dental Health Survey 2009 results. BMC Oral Health, 13: 29. (doi: 10.1186/1472-6831-13-29).
The program (MDAS_PRs.exe) takes an individual's raw score on the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and expresses the score as a percentile rank. The point estimate of the percentile rank is accompanied by (Bayesian) 95% interval estimates. The overall normative sample size is N =10,990 . The norms are stratified by age and gender (users identify their case's age and gender using radio buttons).
