A Helping Hand Among Low-Income Patients
NCT02147522 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Study Hypotheses (Ho) and Research Questions (RQ): * Ho1. AHH will significantly improve patient depression treatment acceptance/adherence and depression symptoms vs UC at 6 and 12 months post-baseline. * Ho2. A Helping Hand (AHH) will significantly improve and sustain patient self-care management in Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease (SEMCD) and Quality of Life vs UC at 6 and 12 months post-baseline. * RQ1. What is the association between depression symptoms and concurrent chronic illness self-care management over time by group? * RQ2. Will AHH reduce hospitalizations and Emergency Room visits and improve clinic appointment-keeping? * RQ3. Will patient care satisfaction and reported barriers to self-care management vary by study group? * RQ4. What factors are identified via qualitative assessments of patients, promotoras, Department of Health Services (DHS) medical and social work providers, and DHS clinic/organizational leadership regarding satisfaction with, sustainable uptake of, and suggested modifications of the AHH promotora delivery model? * RQ5. What potential technology applications would enhance promotoras delivering patient-centered self-care training and resource navigation, communicating and integrating care with DHS, and disseminating AHH?

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02147522
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02147522 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 348 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Southern California, which has 412 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Depression appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Self-care 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: NCT02147522 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.
