South Texas Early Prevention Studies SNAP-Ed (STEPS SNAP-Ed)
NCT05851144 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The "South Texas Early Prevention Studies Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education" (STEPS SNAP-Ed) is a project designed to control and prevent obesity rates in South Texas children. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) was awarded funding from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to provide behaviorally focused, evidence-based nutrition education and obesity prevention interventions to serve the South Texas SNAP-Ed target audience. The SNAP-Ed target audience are SNAP-Ed recipients, SNAP eligible, communities with ≥50% low-income, schools where ≥50% of children are on free and reduced meals, and those on Medicaid. Specifically, the STEPS SNAP-Ed Project will engage parents, school staff, hospital staff and community members to make healthier food choices available and encourage physical activity to control and prevent obesity in preschool children. The STEPS SNAP-Ed Project is a collaborative effort among a university, two school districts, and a hospital system in the Rio Grande Valley.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05851144
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05851144 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 1,104 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, which has 33 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 Health-Related Behavior appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Bienestar/Neema Coordinated School Health Program (BN CSHP) 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: NCT05851144 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. 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.
