Mobilizing Community Networks to Optimize Child Well-being
NCT02622399 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Caregiver social isolation adversely impacts child health and developmental outcomes; it also contributes to suboptimal engagement in health care services and enrichment resources, which also elevate risk for poor outcomes in childhood. The proposed pilot intervention aims to reduce social isolation and promote engagement in health promoting enrichment and activities, by embedding a community health worker assisted forum in a community-driven mobile communications (using a platform supported by the company txtwire). The investigators propose a two-arm, pilot study enrolling 100 parents of children age 0-5 years old who reside in the Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan neighborhoods of Boston. Participants will be recruited from Boston Medical Center and community sites in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. The investigators will use quality improvement methods to improve the utilization of the mobile communications shared through txtwire to build collective efficacy for children and social support and engagement that will optimize family resiliency and thereby promote child well-being, as well as, assess the acceptability of the intervention, and logistics of the field implementation to ultimately inform an appropriately powered RCT. Participants will receive compensation for participation at baseline and follow-up interviews. The intent of this study is to support developement of mobile social communications to reduce social isolation.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02622399
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02622399 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 98 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Boston Medical Center, which has 192 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 Social Isolation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Project NOW 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: NCT02622399 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Massachusetts. 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.
