iLookOut for Child Abuse: Micro-learning to Improve Knowledge Retention

This study is testing a program called "iLookOut for Child Abuse" to see if it can help early childhood professionals better identify and report child abuse. You would first complete a 3-hour online learning program. Then, you would receive short (5-10 minute) interactive learning activities on your smartphone. Researchers want to see if these short activities, called micro-learning, help you remember what you learned over time. The goal is for at least half of the participants to complete the micro-learning program and for 75% to be satisfied with it. This study is for people aged 18 to 100 who work or volunteer at a childcare facility in Pennsylvania. The study is currently unclear on its status.

Study design
This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 6000 participants. It will compare different ways of learning about child abuse reporting.
What's involved
You would complete a 3-hour online learning program and then receive brief (5-10 minute) gamified learning exercises on your smartphone.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will measure outcomes at 5 years to see how well the program works over time.

  • Acceptable completion of iLookOut Micro-learning program measured by 50% of core program learners completing the micro-learning program.5 years

    Evaluate whether a multi-faceted implementation strategy that includes learners completing an initial core training that is reinforced by using a micro-learning program (core learning program + micro-learning) is a way to educate ECPs about child abuse and its reporting. We will judge the iLookOut intervention program to have an acceptable completion rate if: \>50% of ECPs who complete iLookOut's core learning program also complete 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.5 years

    Evaluate whether a multi-faceted implementation strategy that includes learners completing an initial core training followed by using a micro-learning program is a feasible way to educate ECPs about child abuse and its reporting. We will judge the iLookOut intervention feasible if: \>75% of participants report endorsing the iLookOut micro-learning program, as measured by the a net promoter score that is \>0. The net promoter scale consists of one question, How likely would you be to recommend this learning program to a fellow early childhood professional?, with responses measured on a -100 to +100.
