OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether online family life education (FLE) modules improved knowledge, attitudes, and confidence about key family health topics among young, middle, and older adults.
BACKGROUND: Family life education supports healthy familial relationships across generations. Traditionally, FLE has been offered in-person over multiple weeks. Online FLE could make it easier to reach families.
METHODS: The final sample was comprised of 164 adults (45% young adults, 45% middle adults, and 10% older adults). Ten online video modules (each ~10 min) were created by college students about a variety of family health topics. For each module, participants were asked to complete a pre-survey, watch the module, and then complete a post-survey. Data were analyzed in Stata 18.
RESULTS: Participants reported that the modules were clear, engaging, and well-organized. Participants showed significant improvements in knowledge and attitudes between the pre- and post-surveys for all modules, including 69 of the 75 the outcomes measured. Effect sizes were generally medium to large, with significant effect sizes ranging from 0.27 to 0.87. Long-term changes in family health were not significant.
CONCLUSION: Short, online FLE modules can yield immediate gains in knowledge and attitudes across family health topics. Further refinement in methodology is needed to promote longer-term gains in family health.
IMPLICATIONS: Brief, online FLE can strengthen knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy about family life issues across family life stages.
