Evaluating online family life education modules across family stages: a pilot study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
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.
