Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether an app-based intervention can reduce the likelihood of a torticollis diagnosis in infants. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* whether an app can successfully deliver an intervention to parents of young infants
* whether parents who learn about torticollis will increase behaviors intended to prevent torticollis compared to parents who learn about general infant development

Participants will complete a monthly survey for 6 months asking about their parenting behaviors. Researchers will compare parents who receive notifications about torticollis with parents who receive notifications about general infant development to see if increased knowledge of torticollis leads to preventive behavior.

intervention

in-app twice-weekly parent notification about torticollis and head turn asymmetries

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

in-app notification

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Parents will receive bi-weekly prompts in a baby monitor app to change infant's orientation within crib, allow for tummy time several times per day, alternate the side from which infants are fed, alternate the side the infant faces during carrying, and in general note any side preferences of the infant so that positioning can assist in symmetry.

control

in-app twice-weekly parent notification about general infant development

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
