Description

Luc Goethals and co-authors appraise in 2024 the online videos that aim to prevent abusive head trauma in babies. Shaking a baby can cause grave harm, and many prevention ideas have been proposed, yet controlled trials have not shown clear effect. Videos could reach a wide adult audience at low cost, if their content is sound.

The team searched the web for videos from public bodies or major groups, in English or French, aimed at primary prevention for children under two. Only a small share of the videos found met their rules. Most came from public organizations, ran a few minutes, and scored well on a global quality scale. Babies were often shown, at times crying or being shaken. The study also tests what traits go with a video's popularity, giving makers a clearer view of reach versus quality.
