A Study of Exclusion Criteria in a University Population
NCT01472536 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Much of community transmission of seasonal and pandemic influenza occurs in younger individuals, because of their susceptibility and their social interaction patterns.Universities are places where transmission of influenza is facilitated because of the age of individuals involved, their close contact with each other, and low vaccination coverage. Staying home when you are sick (i.e., voluntary sequestration) has been identified as one of the most efficient ways to reduce influenza transmission, but there are still insufficient data on the effects of social distancing to be able to make recommendations for future pandemics or even outbreaks of seasonal influenza. The investigators are conducting a study on the effect of voluntary sequestration during illness on the transmission of influenza among social networks in University residence housing units at the University of Michigan. The sequestration interventions will be carried out during a period of influenza transmission that is defined by surveillance conducted at the University Health Service. Data will be collected on use of the interventions and the occurrence of influenza and other illnesses. In all selected residence halls, specimens will be collected when illness meeting a case definition for influenza-like illness occurs. This study in a university population will evaluate the acceptability and magnitude of effect that can be expected from such an intervention, and determine the number of days that sequestration should be practiced.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01472536
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01472536 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 1,400 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan, which has 1,126 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 Influenza appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Sequestration 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: NCT01472536 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. 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.
