Scalability of a Home Health Navigator Program to Reduce Arsenic, Nitrate, and Lead in Private Well Water
NCT05395663 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Approximately 34 million Americans rely on private wells to supply their drinking water. Private wells are excluded from the Safe Drinking Water Act. Consequently, people who use private wells have not benefited from pollution prevention activities mandated by this law. This is a public health concern because toxic chemicals such as arsenic, nitrate, and lead are frequently detected in drinking water provided by private wells at concentrations that exceed the Safe Drinking Water Act's maximum contaminant levels. Chronic exposure to toxics in drinking water increase the risk of several chronic diseases. Several states in the U.S. have implemented or are proposing legislative policies to require testing and treatment of private wells and it is critical that public health agencies offer a program to aid homeowners with adherence to these new policies. Subsequently, there is a need to determine if individual-level interventions would be more effective for promoting behaviors that would reduce, mitigate, or eliminate exposure to contaminated well water. Lay health care workers may be able to provide cost-effective counseling to promote environmental health decision making among homeowners that have contaminated wells. This study will involve a community efficacy trial that brings together university-based researchers, State and Local agencies, and Extension Services. The community efficacy trial will be implemented by community health navigators via the Extension service. Specifically, it will involve a randomized controlled trial in Oregon to test the acceptability, fidelity, scalability and efficacy of 2 different intervention arms to reduce harmful toxicant exposures through the adoption of appropriate well water treatment. Upon completion, it will will produce a private well safety intervention program that has been tested and modified through empirical research. By capturing the costs and retaining the most efficacious intervention components, our cooperative approa

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05395663
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05395663 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. 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 98 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Oregon State University, which has 42 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 Pollution; Exposure appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Community health worker 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: NCT05395663 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Oregon. 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.
