Effect of Animated Video on Comprehension and Implementation Feasibility

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice

In brief

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a brief web-based educational intervention on improving Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury prevention comprehension and implementation feasibility among coaches of athletes participating in landing and cutting sports (e.g., soccer, basketball, football, etc.). The two main hypotheses are that, compared to both an active and placebo control group, the brief animated video will produce greater improvements in: 1. Overall comprehension of ACL injury risk and mitigation: placebo control group \< active control group \< intervention group. 2. Feasibility of utilizing ACL injury prevention strategies: placebo control group \< active control group \< intervention group. Exploratory hypothesis: The brief animated video will produce greater improvements in various subcomponents of comprehension-specifically: basic ACL knowledge, risk knowledge, prevention knowledge and severity knowledge compared to both active and placebo control group conditions.
