Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of an Online Program to Help Parents Talk With Their Tween Children About Health, Gender, Body-Image, and Relationships (NCT NCT06408818)
NCT ID: NCT06408818
Last Updated: 2025-07-10
Results Overview
Parent's use of restrictive media mediation will be assessed using one item (e.g., "How often do you limit the amount of your child's screen time (watching shows, going online, playing video games, or using social media)?"). Participants will rate items on a 5-point Likert scale \[1 = never; 2 = almost never; 3 = sometimes; 4 = often; 5 = very often\]. Higher scores indicate a more favorable outcome.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Pretest (at baseline) and Posttest (about four weeks after pretest questionnaire completion)Child will respond to questions about the frequency with which their parent has talked with them about 12 topics related to prepubescent health on a Likert-type scale \[1 = Never; 2 = A little; 3 = A lot\]. Reponses on items are averaged, and higher scores indicate a more favorable outcome.
