Description
Jan van der Merwe, Maria Baskini, Kalliopi Tsakpounidou, Myrto Pyrrou, Christos Keramydas, and Hariklia Proios present a 2026 conference abstract on getting parents to sign up for a school stroke education program. FAST Heroes teaches children about stroke, and children pass the lesson to their families. Parents, though, rarely register on the program's digital platform, which weakens the follow through at home.
The team ran a four arm cluster trial in 37 kindergartens covering 872 pupils that had run the program before without parent logins. Schools were assigned a printed letter, an email with a direct link, email plus weekly teacher feedback, or all that plus chatbot reminders. The main measure was parent registration within eight weeks. The study tests which nudge works best.
