Our findings suggest that over half of parents have low SCT knowledge following telephone education, and many may be unaware of their status. SCTaware closes knowledge gaps, leads to high sustained knowledge, and is a potentially scalable tool. Future studies should refine SCTaware and determine if parents use their knowledge to inform their children and reproductive decisions.
