Clean Beauty in Newark, NJ
NCT07216898 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Every day, consumers use personal care products containing thousands of manmade chemicals. Growing evidence suggests that personal care products specifically marketed to Black women (e.g., hair straighteners and oils, skin lighteners) often contain potentially hazardous chemicals that can interfere with hormones or increase cancer risks. This research focuses on how the investigators can educate and activate community members in Newark, NJ to reduce disparities in exposures occurring through hair products. Leveraging educational clean beauty events hosted by collaborators at Clean Water Action, the investigators will administer surveys on hair product use and attitudes immediately before and after a clean beauty educational intervention. Participants will also complete surveys 3 months post-event to examine any changes in attitudes or behaviors around hair products and their use and safety.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07216898
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07216898 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, 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 120 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, which has 603 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Education appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Chemical Exposure Prevention 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: NCT07216898 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Jersey. 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.
