iLookOut for Child Abuse: PA Microlearning to Improve Knowledge Retention
Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
Summary
This project investigates whether a multi-faceted strategy involving iLookOut's evidence-based Core Training plus an innovative follow-up Micro-Learning can promote knowledge retention and change behavior among early childhood professionals (ECPs) with regard to child abuse and its reporting. Additionally, this study will evaluate if non-ECPs experience similar improvements and retention of knowledge and changes in behavior as do ECPs.
Description
The primary purpose of this study is to understand the optimal timing to administer iLookOut Micro-Learning to boost ECPs waning knowledge and preparedness to protect children from abuse. Additionally, this study will conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine how interactive, gamified micro-learning promotes knowledge retention and fosters behavior change with regard to child abuse and its reporting, and to establish that implementation of this intervention is feasible. All components of the learning module being studied are online, and will be accessed by participants through a secure…
