ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "iLookOut for Child Abuse: Micro-learning to Improve Knowledge Retention" is studying a new way to help early childhood professionals learn about child abuse and how to report it. The researchers want to see if short, interactive learning exercises delivered on smartphones can help these professionals remember what they learn over time. After completing an online program about child abuse, participants will receive brief, fun learning activities (called gamified exercises) to do on their phones. This trial aims to find out if this method is effective and practical in helping people better identify and report suspected cases of child abuse.

To participate in this trial, you must be at least 18 years old and work or volunteer at a childcare facility in Pennsylvania. If you meet these criteria, you can expect to engage in the online program and complete the follow-up exercises on your smartphone. The study is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could help improve how professionals address child abuse, ultimately making a difference in children's lives.
