Effectiveness of a Mobile App (KhunLook) Versus the Maternal and Child Health Handbook on Thai Parents' Health Literacy, Accuracy of Health Assessments, and Convenience of Use: Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Children of parents who have higher health literacy (HL) benefit more from preventive child health care. Digital interventions have been used to improve parents' HL with high satisfaction. KhunLook is a Thai mobile app conceived using strategies to improve HL. It was developed to assist parents in assessing and keeping track of their child's health in complement to the standard Maternal and Child Health Handbook (MCHH).
Objective: This trial focuses on the effectiveness of using the KhunLook app with the MCHH and standard care (intervention) compared with the conventional MCHH and standard care (control) on parents' HL. Data on accuracy of parents' assessment of their child's health and growth as well as convenience of use of the tool (app or MCHH) in the well-child clinic were collected at 2 visits (immediate=visit 1, and intermediate=visit 2).
