NCT ID NCT05228886
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a program called SINCERE that screens people for social needs like food or housing help, then connects them to free community services with follow-up calls. Researchers want to see if this improves overall health, depression, and anxiety in 1500 adults at risk for COVID-19. Participants are recruited from emergency rooms and testing sites.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SINCERE intervention (goal-setting sessions and scheduled follow-up calls)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that connecting people with community resources improves overall health and reduces COVID-19 disparities.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage real-world study, not a controlled drug trial. Results may not be generalizable, and the intervention may not produce measurable health changes.
