Overview
The overall aim of this project is to examine the feasibility of a web-based resource for parents to educate them about pediatric clinical research.
Description
Parents (N = 150) of children aged 7-17 years will be recruited from across the United States to participate in a randomized controlled trial. Adult consent will be sought. Participants will be randomized into one of two study arms: intervention and active control. All participants will complete a web-based pretest questionnaire. Participants will then receive access to their randomly assigned resource. Approximately 2-3 weeks after completing the pretest questionnaire, all participants will complete a web-based post-test questionnaire.
