Healthy Body Healthy Souls in the Marshallese Population
NCT03377244 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The primary aim is to pilot test a weight-loss intervention for Marshallese adults, referred to throughout as Healthy Bodies Healthy Souls (HBHS). The HBHS intervention includes the Wholeness, Oneness, Righteousness, Deliverance Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Intervention (WORD DPP) implemented at the individual level, with the additional enhancement of working with Marshallese churches to implement church-level changes to support the individual behavioral intervention of the WORD DPP. We will then compare changes in outcomes with participants in the churches who were exposed to the policy changes but did not participate in the WORD DPP, and with those enrolled in a separate DPP trial who participated in the WORD DPP but were not exposed to church-level policy changes.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03377244
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03377244 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 102 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Arkansas, which has 194 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 Weight Loss appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which HBHS 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: NCT03377244 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Arkansas. 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.
