Study Summary

This trial will study whether gamified micro-learning is an effective way to help early childhood professionals learn about and report child abuse.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who work or volunteer at a childcare facility in Pennsylvania. It aims to help them learn about child abuse identification and reporting.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if short, game-like online learning exercises can improve long-term knowledge retention about child abuse among early childhood professionals after they complete an initial program.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves educational activities, there are no direct medical side effects; however, participants may experience fatigue or eye strain from screen time.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Acceptable completion of iLookOut Micro-learning program measured by 50% of core program learners completing the micro-learning program.

Feasibility of iLookOut micro-learning program used for professional development measured by 75% of leaner self-reporting learner satisfaction using net promoter score.

Secondary outcome measures

Average knowledge score compared at 5-time points and measured by the iLookOut knowledge assessment.

Knowledge score decay and remediation measured by change in average knowledge score on the iLookOut knowledge assessment over 5 time points.
