Literacy Promotion Using Automated Hovering
NCT04576481 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to incorporate behavioral economics (BE) approaches to determine whether 3 novel interventions of varying intensity improve the frequency of parent-child reading behaviors among low-income families. In the first phase, 10 parents will be recruited to participate in rapid cycle interviews to determine the appropriateness of text messages. In the second phase, 45 participants will be randomized to comparative groups to test the effects of automated hovering and other BE approaches on frequency of parent-child shared reading. Investigators long-term goal is to test the effects of these approaches to promote child language and socio-emotional development.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04576481
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04576481 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 55 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which has 492 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 Parenting appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Texting 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: NCT04576481 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. 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.
