Building Resiliency and Increasing Community Hope
NCT01698047 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to build a scientific evidence base for the training and delivery of a depressive symptoms education program, developed by local community members, called a Resiliency Class (RC). The RC has strong elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and is designed to be delivered as a psycho-educational class by non-professionals to improve mood. Depressive symptoms are common, especially in low-income, minority communities. Depressive symptoms that don't meet DSM-IV criteria for Major Depression still carry a significant amount of disability. Interventions that address sub-threshold depressive symptoms have been noted to result in a decreased likelihood of depression and diminished use of mental health services. Few interventions using a health education / health promotion focus are designed to be delivered by non-professionals to address individuals with mild to moderate depressive symptoms in low income, minority communities. This project will take place in the Centinela Valley, which roughly corresponds to Service Planning Area (SPA) 6 or South Los Angeles (SLA). This single-blind, randomized trial will utilize a wait-list control design where half of the participants enrolled in the study will be randomized to the Resiliency Class (7 sessions) and half will go to a wait-list control condition where they will receive 2 case management calls and referrals to social services. We propose to screen 1500 clients to detect about 450 participants with depressive symptoms (endorsed one item on the PHQ-2). We plan to enroll 400 participants, 200 in the resiliency class and 200 in the wait-list control condition. Primary outcomes measures will include depressive symptoms, function, and measures of resiliency. We will assess these measures at baseline and at 3 months after completion of the Resiliency Class or wait-list condition. After the completion of the first round of classes, we will conduct a preliminary analysis of the impact of the resiliency cl

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01698047
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01698047 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 168 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of California, Los Angeles, which has 829 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 Depressive Symptoms appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Case Management 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: NCT01698047 reports 3 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. 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.
