Nurturing Care Family Navigator
NCT06859372 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to determine whether a 6-month behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) improves levels of food security among postpartum low-income Medicaid or uninsured women identified as having very low or low food security in the past 12 months. We hypothesize that a behavioral health intervention applying a multisectoral nurturing care navigation approach facilitating access to health, nutrition, early learning, responsive care, and security and safety resources is likely to decrease levels of maternal-child food insecurity. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does the behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) improves levels of food security? Outcome 1: Improve levels of food security * Does the behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) increase knowledge to navigate barriers across the four pillars of food insecurity? Outcome 2: Increase knowledge across the four pillars of food insecurity * Does the behavioral health intervention with a Nurturing Care Family Navigator (NCFN) increase self-efficacy to secure and sustain enrollment with community nurturing care services? Outcome 3: Increase self-efficacy to secure and sustain enrollment with community nurturing care services Researchers will compare levels of food security among those receiving a navigation behavioral health intervention (consisted of 1:1 tailored navigation session and an educational workbook) compared to those receiving an educational workbook with messages across the four pillars of food insecurity (standard of care). Participants will: * Engage in intense weekly navigation 1:1 tailored session for 3 months * Engage in follow up monthly navigation 1:1 tailored session for 3 months * Participate in evaluation calls with a research assistant at enrollment, 3, 6, 12 months

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06859372
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06859372 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 72 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Nevada, Las Vegas, which has 79 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 5 conditions, with Retention in Care appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Nurturing Care Family Navigator 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: NCT06859372 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Nevada. 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.
