Despite standardized neonatal resuscitation program (NRP) training, retention and adherence to the NRP algorithm remain a challenge. Cognitive aids can potentially improve acquisition and application of NRP knowledge and skills. The objective of this study was to determine whether an interactive mobile application providing audiovisual prompts, NRP Prompt, can help novice NRP providers learn the NRP algorithm more effectively and therefore improve their NRP performance.
