Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DigiKnowIt News: Teen with parent-adolescent pairs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Parent-adolescent pairs (N=180) will be recruited to participate in a randomized controlled trial. Parent consent and parent permission and youth assent will be sought. Participant pairs will be randomized into one of two study arms: intervention and wait-list control. All participants will complete a web-based pre-test questionnaire. Youth and parents in the intervention group will then receive access to DigiKnowIt News: Teen for one week. Approximately one week after completing the pre-test questionnaire, all participants will complete a web-based post-test questionnaire (the post-test for the intervention group will include Consumer Satisfaction Questions). Youth and parents in the wait-list control group will then receive access to DigiKnowIt News: Teen for one week. After one week, they will be asked to complete a Consumer Satisfaction Questionnaire.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Educational website intervention

Participants will have access to an intervention between pre-test and post-test assessments. The intervention, DigiKnowIt News: Teen, is an educational website designed to teach youth (12-17 years) about pediatric clinical trials and give parents and youth resources for communication and shared decision-making about research.

Wait-List Control

Participants will not have access to the educational website between the pre-test and post-test assessments. After completing the post-test questionnaires, participants in the wait-list control group will receive access to the intervention (DigiKnowIt News: Teen).
