ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring whether an app can help parents prevent a condition called torticollis in their infants. Torticollis is a condition where a baby’s neck is tilted, which can happen due to various reasons. The study will look at whether parents who receive information through this app about torticollis will take more actions to prevent it compared to those who just learn about general infant development. Over six months, participating parents will fill out a monthly survey about their parenting behaviors.
To be eligible for this study, parents must have an infant under one month old and be able to complete surveys in English. However, if the baby has already been diagnosed with torticollis or another related condition called plagiocephaly, they cannot participate. This trial is not yet recruiting participants but aims to gather valuable information that could help parents support their infants' healthy development.
