Integrative Health Coaching in Community Settings
NCT02186327 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study examines a pilot project to introduce integrative health coaching to two community clinical sites, Healing with CAARE Inc. and the Healthy Lifestyles program at Duke Pediatrics. 10 participants and 10 controls will be referred for enrollment at each site (n=20 per site) by on-site personnel, and 6 coaching sessions will be provided over a 3-month period at no cost by coaching trainees completing their certification hours. Pre and post measurements of BMI, patient activation, and perceived interpersonal support will be collected and analyzed for interaction effects. Qualitative process evaluation will be conducted as a thematic analysis via guided interviews with stakeholders and participants, using the "RE-AIM" framework. Feasibility measures will include recruitment of both coaches and clients, subject/client retention, and number and duration of coaching sessions completed. Finally, a subset of the CAARE Inc. cohort will be consented to participate in a post-intervention focus group that addresses the impact of coaching on perception of health-related resources and needs in the community. Primary Hypotheses: Integrative health coaching will be a feasible intervention in both community and clinical settings, in terms of required resources, patient or client adherence, and satisfaction by community stakeholders, including providers and participants. Additional hypotheses: Individuals who receive integrative health coaching sessions as an adjunct to their standard medical care will see improvements in patient activation and perception of interpersonal supports, when compared to controls. Individuals who receive integrative health coaching (or in the case of the pediatric cohort, children of individuals who receive coaching) will see minor improvements in BMI over the study period when compared to controls.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02186327
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02186327 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 74 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Duke University, which has 1,129 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 Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Integrative Health Coaching 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: NCT02186327 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. 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.
