Summary

This study tests whether brief, game-like lessons delivered to smartphones can help early childhood professionals retain knowledge about child abuse and improve their reporting behavior. The trial includes 12,000 adults, comparing those who receive the micro-learning follow-up to those who do not. It also examines whether people outside early childhood education benefit similarly. The goal is to see if this easy-to-use training method can make a real difference in protecting children.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Micro-learning: a series of 5-10 minute interactive, gamified learning exercises delivered via smartphone or computer to reinforce knowledge about child abuse and its reporting.
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a scalable, low-cost way to help childcare workers recognize and report child abuse, potentially improving child safety.
What could go wrong
The trial relies on self-reported behavior and knowledge tests, which may not reflect real-world reporting. Results may vary across different groups and settings.

About 12,000 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Apr 2024

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages
