Recovery Legal Care Clinical Trial
NCT06618794 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Programs (HVIPs) affiliated with trauma centers in the US often focus on individual behavior modification for reduction in re-victimization. There is a lack of reproducible evidence that has demonstrated effectiveness, given the exclusion of addressing inequities in the Social and Structural Determinants of Health (SSDOH), often the root causes of violent injury and preventable homicide. The study investigators created a Medical Legal Partnership (MLP) to partner with an existing HVIP. This novel program offers beside legal assistance to address the SSDOH. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the HVIP-MLP program in improving violence-related outcomes, legal needs, health-related quality of life, PTSD symptoms, and perceived stress.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06618794
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06618794 describes a study currently listed as 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 500 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Chicago, which has 846 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Firearm Injury appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Recovery Legal Care 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: NCT06618794 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. 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.
