The goal of this multi-method study including a randomized control trial and qualitative interviews is to see how useful blogshots (an image that summarizes information) are at helping parents increase their knowledge and manage their expectations for common acute childhood conditions (e.g. sore throat, ear infection) with respect to Choosing Wisely Canada recommendations. Participants will be randomly assigned to Group A or Group B in this study. Group A will receive three of six blogshots over a 4-week period (a different blogshot will be sent by email to them each week for three weeks, then in the final week they will receive the same three blogshots in one summary email to review). Group B will receive the other three of six blogshots, following the same email sequence and timing. All participants from both groups will be asked to complete one baseline questionnaire at the start of the study and a follow-up questionnaire at week 5, month 3 and month 6 about different common acute childhood conditions, the blogshots and their content. All participants also have the option to participate in an optional semi-structured interview to give their thoughts on the blogshots and their experience in the study. Researchers will compared each participant's baseline score to their follow up scores to see if there was a change in their knowledge and expectations. By developing and evaluating evidence-based Choosing Wisely Canada resources, the researchers aim to make it easier for parents to choose wisely. Empowering parents to be part of conversations with their child's healthcare provider can improve health decision-making and reduce health system costs.

Primary | Knowledge - Quantitative true/false | Primary outcome will be knowledge. Change will be compared from baseline between groups (i.e. average change in knowledge scores specific to Choosing Wisely recommendations, expecting that knowledge will improve with respect to the content received).
There will be 8 'true/false' questions to assess knowledge. Each question is worth 2 points. Knowledge will be assessed by comparing participant's scores on baseline to follow-up 1 (knowledge change) and comparing scores to follow-up 2 and 3 (knowledge retention). |

Primary | Knowledge - Quantitative | Primary outcome will be knowledge. Change will be compared from baseline between groups (i.e. average change in knowledge scores specific to Choosing Wisely recommendations, expecting that knowledge will improve with respect to the content received). The outcome will be assessed two ways:
1. Quantitatively via questionnaires: 21 knowledge questions with about 8 'true/false', 7 'multiple choice' and 6 'select all that apply' in each questionnaire (baseline, follow-up 1, 2 & 3). Each question is worth 2 points, total score per questionnaire ranging from 0-42 pts. Knowledge will be assessed by comparing participant's scores on baseline to follow-up 1 (knowledge change) and comparing scores to follow-up 2 and 3 (knowledge retention). |

Primary | Knowledge - Qualitative | Interviews will be used to clarify, expand on and provide to context to the questionnaire responses - two open-ended questions addressing knowledge and will undergo thematic analysis. | interviews will be conducted between week 5 - month 3 | |
Secondary | Intentions - Quantitative Likert | A secondary outcome will be intentions. The research team will explore if the outcome was influenced by whether a child had one of the conditions (and identify actual behaviour).
Participants will be asked questions about their intentions at baseline and follow-up 1 when they seek healthcare i.e. are they seeking antibiotics from a healthcare professional. This includes 4 questions based on a five-point Likert scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree) |

Secondary | Intentions - Quantitative Multiple Choice | A secondary outcome will be intentions. The research team will explore if the outcome was influenced by whether a child had one of the conditions (and identify actual behaviour).
Participants will be asked questions about their intentions at baseline and follow-up 1 when they seek healthcare i.e. are they seeking antibiotics from a healthcare professional. This includes 2 questions that are 'multiple choice'. |
week 0 (baseline), week 5 (follow-up 1) | |
Secondary | Intentions - Qualitative | Interviews will be used to clarify, expand on and provide to context to the questionnaire responses - three open-ended questions addressing intentions and will undergo thematic analysis. | interviews will be conducted between week 5 - month 3 | |
Secondary | Expectations of care - quantitative | A secondary outcome will be expectations of care. The research team will explore if the outcome was influenced by whether a child had one of the conditions (and identify actual behaviour).
Participants will be asked questions about their expectations of healthcare professionals at baseline and follow-up 1 questionnaires. The research team will compare at baseline and follow up 1 to assess if the blogshots led to a change in expectations of healthcare professionals. There are 6 expectation questions in each questionnaire for baseline and follow-up 1. All questions are based on a five-point Likert scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree). |
week 0 (baseline), week 5 (follow-up 1) | |
Secondary | Expectations of care - qualitative | A secondary outcome will be expectations of care. The research team will explore if the outcome was influenced by whether a child had one of the conditions (and identify actual behaviour).
Interviews will be used to clarify, expand on and provide to context to the questionnaire responses - one open-ended question addressing expectations and will undergo thematic analysis. |
interviews will be conducted between week 5 - month 3 | |
Secondary | Usability of the blogshots - Likert | A secondary outcome will be usability of the blogshots. The research team will explore if the outcome was influenced by whether a child had one of the conditions (and identify actual behaviour).
Participants will complete usability questions about the blogshots focusing on topics such as if the blogshots increase knowledge, aid in decision-making and are relevant to parents. This includes 5 questions based on a five-point Likert scale (strongly agree to strongly disagree) |
week 5 (follow-up 1) | |
Secondary | Usability of the blogshots - open ended questions | A secondary outcome will be usability of the blogshots. The research team will explore if the outcome was influenced by whether a child had one of the conditions (and identify actual behaviour).
Participants will complete usability questions about the blogshots focusing on topics such as if the blogshots increase knowledge, aid in decision-making and are relevant to parents. This will be completed at follow-up 1. This includes two open-ended questions. |
week 5 (follow-up 1) | |
Secondary | Usability of the blogshots - qualitative | A secondary outcome will be usability of the blogshots. The research team will explore if the outcome was influenced by whether a child had one of the conditions (and identify actual behaviour).
Interviews will be used to clarify, expand on and provide to context to the questionnaire responses - four open-ended questions addressing usability and will undergo thematic analysis. |
interviews will be conducted between week 5 - month 3 |
