NCT01460953 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
1. Briefly describe the purpose of this protocol: This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational training video on the topic of health literacy for medical students. 2. Briefly summarize how participants are recruited: OHSU medical students attending mandatory trainings on the topic of health literacy during the 1st and 2nd years of medical school will be invited to participate in the study. 3. Briefly describe the procedures subjects will undergo: Completion of a short self-administered anonymous survey before and after viewing a 23-minute video about health literacy. 4. If applicable, briefly describe survey/interview instruments used: A 12-item pre-test questionnaire and 13-item post-test questionnaire designed to assess individuals' knowledge about health literacy, and intended clinical practices with respect to health literacy. 5. If this is a clinical trial using an experimental drug and/or device, or an approved drug and/or device used for an unapproved purpose, briefly describe the drug and/or device: n/a 6. Briefly describe how the data will be analyzed to address the purpose of the protocol: Demographics and responses to individual items will be reported as frequencies and percentages within the sample.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01460953
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01460953 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 110 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Oregon Health and Science University, which has 665 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Health Literacy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which health literacy training video is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01460953 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Oregon. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
