NCT02715414 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
A multiple family group (MFG) is a family-centered, group delivered, evidence-informed, manualized intervention that targets the most common reason for referral to publicly funded clinics: youth oppositional defiant and conduct disorders. This study will employ a mixed methods Type II effectiveness-implementation hybrid research design.In collaboration with the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), this longitudinal study will be conducted across the New York City (NYC) OMH licensed child behavioral health clinic system (n=134). The investigators will use mixed methods, and involve 268 providers and 2,688 adult caregivers of youth (7 to 11 years). The following Specific Aims guide this study: To examine 1) short-term and longitudinal impact of MFGs on urban youth with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD) (replication); 2) family-level mediators (e.g. parenting, family process) of child outcomes; 3) clinic (readiness to adopt an innovation, leadership support and climate) and provider level moderators (preparedness, motivation and fidelity) of MFG implementation and integration and; 4) the impact of Clinic Implementation Teams (CIT) on clinic and provider level moderators of MFG implementation and integration. In this Randomized Controlled Trial, clinics will be stratified by borough (Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island) and randomly assigned within borough to 3 study conditions: 1) MFG+CITs; 2) MFG (with standard research training and consultation) or; 3) Standard Care. Data will be collected baseline, 8 and 16 weeks and 6 mo. follow-up) in Phase 1 (focus on implementation) and Phase II (integration).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02715414
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02715414 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 2,956 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is NYU Silver School of Social Work, which has 2 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 Mental Disorders appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Multiple Family Group + Clinic Implementation Team 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: NCT02715414 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. 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.
