Preventing Childhood Obesity Through Early Guidance

NCT01905072 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of structured CHW- provided home visits, using an intervention created through community-based participatory research, to standard care received through WIC office visits in preventing the development of overweight (weight/length \>85th percentile) and obesity (weight/length \>95th percentile) in infants during their first 2 years of life. Hypothesis 1: Children in the intervention group will remain within their growth centiles in height/weight and weight for age, while children in the control group will increase in height/weight percentiles and weight percentiles more rapidly (\> .67 SD) during the first year of life. Hypothesis 2: Fewer children who receive the intervention will have BMI \>95th percentile at ages 2 and 3 than the children in the control group. Hypothesis 3: Children who receive the intervention will exclusively breastfeed for a longer period of time than will children in the control group. Hypothesis 4: Children who receive the intervention will have a higher percentage of fruits and vegetables and a lower percentage of sweetened beverages, desserts, and candy in their diets at ages 1, 2, and 3, than will children in the control group. Hypothesis 5: Parents in the intervention group will be more responsive to infant feeding cues (hunger, satiety)than parents in the control group.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01905072

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01905072 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 177 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Arizona State University, which has 155 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 Childhood Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Education Home Visits 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: NCT01905072 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. 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.
