Using concepts from the Transtheoretical Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), an embedded mixed\u2010methods survey evaluated respondent readiness to conduct FI screenings and HPV risk assessment\/vaccine recommendation.

Most hygienists displayed a positive attitude toward these practices, yet lacked intent due to low perceived behavioral control and subjective norms (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Qualitative content analysis revealed barriers, including a lack of knowledge (41%) and awareness (18%), low confidence (10%), and considering such practices outside the scope of dental care (15%). Despite this, hygienists reported education (13%) and access to resources (10%) as facilitators in initiating HPV and FI related conversations.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite the low readiness, hygienists reported a willingness to engage in these critical public health issues with appropriate training and support.
