Comparing Rater Reliability of Familiar Practitioners to Blinded Coders
NCT03680157 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine how coders who have seen multiple time points of the same dyad, and are therefore familiar with the case, rate emotional connection using the WECS compared to coders who are blinded to the case's previous time points. The investigator hypothesizes that the WECS will show external validity: that all coders will have high reliability on their WECS scores, despite exposure to the dyads' past videos by the clinical coders.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03680157
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03680157 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, 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 90 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Columbia University, which has 875 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 Premature Birth appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. 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: NCT03680157 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.
