Evaluation of an Interactive, Educational Website Developed for Adolescents to Learn About Pediatric Clinical Trials: DigiKnowIt News
Introduction
Pediatric clinical trials are important for advancing treatments for youth; however, recruitment remains a challenge. This study examines the effectiveness of DigiKnowIt News, a website designed to educate adolescents about clinical trials.
Method
Parent-adolescent pairs were randomly assigned to intervention (N = 83) or wait-list control (N = 96) groups. Pairs completed online pretest and posttest questionnaires related to knowledge and attitudes about research.
Results
Adolescents and parents in the intervention group, compared to the wait-list control, significantly increased in their familiarity with and positive attitudes toward clinical trials. Adolescents improved in their confidence for participating in clinical trials. Promising findings emerged with marginal increases in positive beliefs about clinical trials and likelihood of allowing an adolescent to participate. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with DigiKnowIt News.
Discussion
Providing adolescents and parents with information in fun, interactive, and engaging ways can inform their decision-making about clinical trials.
