Brief Summary

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. 1.Overall comprehension of ACL injury risk and mitigation: placebo control group \< active control group \< intervention group.
2. 2.Feasibility of utilizing ACL injury prevention strategies: placebo control group \< active control group \< intervention group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Overall anterior cruciate ligament injury comprehension percent correct

  Items that measure ACL knowledge were gathered from peer reviewed, published articles. The scale consisted of 15 multiple choice items that assessed individuals knowledge about diverse issues with ACL injury such as risk, prevention, and consequences of the injury.

  Immediately following intervention

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Average implementation feasibility measured by the feasibility of the intervention scale

Study Arms (3)

Animated Video

EXPERIMENTAL

The information in the ACL animated video (https://vimeo.com/281721823) was displayed as a story of a typical athlete who sustained an injury and how this could be prevented through evidence-based prevention strategies.

Behavioral: Animated Video

Web-based Article

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The active control group received commonly accessed information from a WebMD web-based article on ACL injury prevention.

Behavioral: Animated Video

Placebo control

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The placebo control group intervention received an educational video from the CDC about concussions that is comparable in duration to that of the ACL video (https://youtu.be/fSRWF44wgn8).

Behavioral: Animated Video

Interventions

Animated Video BEHAVIORAL

Animated video to improve learning and motivation

Also known as: Multimedia video
