Reducing Distress and Depressive-symptoms in Rural Women
NCT03465813 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Approximately 30% of U.S. breast cancer survivors experience significant cancer-related distress ranging from adjustment disorders, depression-symptoms and major depression up to 20 years after diagnosis. For rural cancer survivors, lack of access to care, support and stigma associated with cancer and mental health, challenge rural women's ability to prevent cancer-related distress and its deleterious outcomes. However, these barriers may be overcome by a new Internet-based psychoeducational program designed for newly diagnosed women; CaringGuidance™- After Breast Cancer Diagnosis. This self-guided program provides information, cognitive-behavioral and supportive coping strategies in a text/audio/visual format accessed via Internet/mobile devices to increase understanding and provide supportive tools to prevent/manage distress and depressive-symptoms. This pilot study will determine preliminary efficacy of the CaringGuidance™ program on distress and depressive-symptoms monthly and over 3 months, for rural women newly diagnosed with breast cancer.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03465813
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03465813 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 33 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Nebraska, which has 272 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Breast Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which CaringGuidance After Breast Cancer Diagnosis 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: NCT03465813 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Nebraska. 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.
