Optimizing an Evidence-Based, Disseminable, Free Internet-Based Parenting Program
NCT05689736 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The CDC's Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers program (EFP) is a free Internet resource with the potential to break down barriers to population-wide access to scientifically-based parenting interventions. EFP has considerable promise, but parental engagement, a major issue in the success of universal parenting interventions, remains a challenge. The objective of the proposed research is to optimize EFP by identifying engagement-focused intervention elements to add to EFP that enhance its effects on parenting skills.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05689736
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05689736 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 859 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is New York University, which has 185 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 Parenting Practices appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Motivational Enhancement 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: NCT05689736 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. 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.
