Using Shared Decision Making to Improve Family Media Use Planning
{ "Family Media Check-In for Adolescent Media Use", "This study is testing a new web-based tool called Family Media Check-In (FMC) to help families plan how they use media. We want to see if FMC can improve how satisfied families are with their media decisions and reduce uncertainty about those decisions. We are also looking at how well families create and stick to media plans. You can join if you have a child between 11 and 17 years old, and both you and your child speak English. The study aims to enroll 300 families. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.", "design": "This is a pilot randomized controlled trial involving 150 families. Families will be assigned by chance to either use the Family Media Check-In tool or be in a control group that uses it later.", "commitments": "If you are in the intervention group, you will complete the Family Media Check-In tool within two weeks of joining and then complete a survey one week later. Both groups will complete a follow-up survey two months after their second survey.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will complete a follow-up survey two months after their second survey.", }

What this trial measures
- Decision SatisfactionBaseline, 3 weeks post-baseline
Perceived Effective Decision Scale: a 4-item measure that assesses parent and teen satisfaction with their family media plan. Responses are measured on a 5-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating a stronger perception of decision effectiveness.
- Decision UncertaintyBaseline, 3 weeks post-baseline
Decision Uncertainty Scale: a 3-item scale adapted for the intervention and nature of decision designed to measure parent and teen perceptions of uncertainty when making decisions. The items evaluate factors contributing to uncertainty, including difficulty, lack of clarity, and indecision. Responses are recorded on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate greater levels of perceived uncertainty, with the third item reverse-scored.
- Change in Family Media Planning and Plan EngagementBaseline, 3 weeks post-baseline
Family Media Planning and Engagement Scale. This scale includes two components, each with 3 items: elements included in plan and engagement with plan. Higher scores indicate more screen media-related elements included in plan and greater teen engagement with plan.
- Teen Involvement in PlanBaseline, 3 weeks post-baseline
This single-item assesses the degree of involvement teens perceive they had in creating the plan. Response options range from full individual control to full parent parental control, with options capturing varying levels of shared-decision making
