A Technology-Enhanced Approach for Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Child Welfare
NCT02430337 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
In this study, a computer-assisted adaptation of SafeCare, an evidence-based home visiting program, will be developed and tested in child welfare. This approach will assist home visitors with the delivery of SafeCare to families, with the goal of improving provider fidelity and implementation success. In the computer-assisted SafeCare sessions, a portion of the session will be delivered on a tablet computer that the home visitor brings to the family's home. The computer software will deliver the educational piece, or explain a piece of each session, along with modeling videos of the skills. The home visitor will follow up with the practice and feedback portions of the session. A randomized feasibility trial will be conducted to test the technology-based approach against the standard SafeCare implementation approach in terms of feasibility of implementation, provider job demands, and resources, as well as client outcomes such as skill acquisition and mental health.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02430337
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02430337 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 31 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Georgia State University, which has 83 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 Child Maltreatment appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Technology-Assisted SafeCare 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: NCT02430337 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Georgia. 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.
