Precision-Based Approach to Matching Evidence-Based Interventions to Students With Externalizing Behaviors
NCT05752942 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Although prevalent across schools in the US, the "One-Size-Fits-All" (OSFA) approach to selecting evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for student externalizing behaviors often yields lackluster outcomes, due to the mismatch between the EBI and students' heterogeneous needs. Emerging literature highlighted the promise of the precision approach to intervention (e.g., Student Intervention Matching System; SIMS), whereas EBIs were selected based on the match between a student's individual needs and the active components of EBIs. This pilot study tested the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of SIMS to match EBIs to students with externalizing behaviors. The investigators ran a double-masked randomized waitlist-controlled trial in a diverse urban district. Students at risk for externalizing behaviors were recruited and randomly assigned to the treatment (EBIs matched via SIMS) or control condition (mismatched social-skill training). Students received EBIs based on assigned condition for 10 weeks. Students' externalizing behaviors were assessed via a multi-method approach at baseline and 10-week posttest. Teachers rated the feasibility and acceptability of SIMS at 10-week posttest. The investigators used cluster-adjusted ANCOVAs to compare efficacy of matched EBIs via SIMS against that of the mismatched social skill training in reducing student externalizing behaviors.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05752942
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05752942 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 51 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Iowa, which has 156 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 Problem;Behaviour;Child appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Student Intervention Matching System (SIMS) 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: NCT05752942 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. 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.
