Advertising and general dental practice: how compliant are practice websites in Australia with legal requirements?
Background
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) requires general dental practitioners (GDPs) to agree to regulatory advertising guidelines on initial registration and annual renewal. The aim of this study was to determine the compliance of GDPs websites to these requirements.
Methods
A representative sample of GDPs websites from each state and territory in Australia was based on the total AHPRA registrant distribution. Assessment of compliance was used across five domains consisting of 17 criteria related to AHPRA's advertising of regulated health services guidelines, as well as section 133 of the National Law. Inter-rater reliability was estimated using Fleiss's Kappa.
Results
One hundred and ninety-two GDPs websites were reviewed with 85% non-compliant with at least one of the legal and regulatory requirements relating to advertising. Of these websites, 52% displayed false and misleading information, 12.8% had offers and inducement without clear terms and conditions, 11.5% used written testimonials, 33.9% created unrealistic expectation of benefit and 39.6% encouraged indiscriminate and unnecessary use of health services.
Conclusions
More than 85% of GDP websites in Australia did not comply with legal and regulatory requirements related to advertising. A multi-stakeholder approach involving AHPRA, professional dental bodies and dental registrants is necessary to improve compliance.
