Summary

This study tests a program that teaches parents of children aged 3-6 about digital footprints, online safety, and responsible sharing. The goal is to help parents make better choices online to protect their child's privacy and digital identity. Parents who use social media and have a child in kindergarten can join.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a behavioral education program called Digital Footprint Education Program for Parents (DFEP) that teaches parents about digital footprints, online safety, and responsible sharing
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could help parents make safer online choices, potentially protecting young children's privacy and digital identity before they are old enough to manage it themselves.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 79 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program's long-term impact on children's digital safety is unknown.
