Early Childhood Practitioner's Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Reporting Child Abuse/Neglect-iLookOut
Phase 1 was a randomized control trial that used a test-retest model to evaluate the impact
of iLook Out for Child Abuse, an online, interactive learning module about reporting
suspected child abuse. Delivered via a learning management system to early childhood
professionals who work with infants and young children, this study assessed iLookOut's effect
on 1) knowledge about reporting suspected child abuse; 2) attitudes toward reporting
suspected child abuse; and 3) preparedness to protect children at risk.
Findings from Phase 1 were that iLookOut will improved knowledge, changed attitudes, and
increase self-reported preparedness of early childhood providers to report suspected child
abuse.
Phase 2 of this trial is an open-enrollment study that records pre-/post- data on the same
measurements as Phase 1, and is available for use (free of charge) for all childcare
providers in Pennsylvania at https://www.ilookoutforchildabuse.com.
