The present analysis included objective knowledge, self\u2010rated knowledge, perceived preparedness, perceived source reliability, first\u2010choice information sources, and perceived barriers. Associations among readiness dimensions were examined using Spearman correlations and multivariable regression. Case\u2010scenario selection of evidence\u2010based resources and generative artificial intelligence was evaluated using Firth\u2010penalized logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Perceived preparedness was more strongly associated with self\u2010rated knowledge (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c1<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.45) than with objectively measured knowledge (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c1<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.23).

No statistically significant differences in objective knowledge or preparedness were observed between survey waves after correction for multiple testing. In the case scenario, evidence\u2010based source selection was more frequent among fifth\u2010year\u2010wave respondents than among fourth\u2010year\u2010wave respondents (87.0% vs. 69.3%), whereas generative AI selection was less frequent (7.0% vs. 26.3%). Information\u2010source selection was associated primarily with trust in the respective resources rather than with objectively measured knowledge.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Objective knowledge, perceived preparedness, and information\u2010seeking behavior represent related but distinct domains relevant to traumatic dental injury management.
