Purpose: To assess the level of understanding of Spanish-speaking caregivers consenting to dental care under general anesthesia (DGA) utilizing two different consent-delivery pathways. Methods: Seventy-eight parents of children who never had GA for dental treatment were recruited. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) Interpreter, or 2) Video. Parents then completed an eight-question survey to evaluate comfort level with GA and comprehension of areas required for informed consent. Data was analyzed using Fisher’s Exact Test and Pearson’s Chi Squared test. Results: A high percentage of parents in both groups understood risks associated with GA (89% interpreter group vs 90% video group). Families in both groups had difficulty understanding indications for DGA (64% interpreter group vs. 60% video group) and expectation of post-operative pain (50% interpreter vs. 55% video group). All parents in both groups understood if their child has been sick recently, they should tell the dentist before their appointment. Overall, 97% of participants believed they sufficiently understood the information presented about DGA. The mean score for comfort level with GA was 7.03 for the interpreter group and 6.82 for the video group (Range 1-10). Conclusions: Differences between consent pathways were not significantly different for risk understanding, importance of pre-operative illness, and acquisition of consent-related knowledge.
