First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study enrolls 324 parent-child pairs to see if a specially designed educational website helps parents feel more supported during hypospadias care. Parents are randomly assigned to either the study website or a basic information site. The goal is to learn how to improve communication and support, not to test a medical treatment.
