Can a 3-Day course transform care for people with disabilities?
NCT ID NCT07772778
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a three-day curriculum can improve how medical, nursing, and midwifery students understand and approach sexual and reproductive health for people with disabilities. Around 412 students at a Tanzanian university will be randomly assigned to take the course now or later, and their knowledge, attitudes, and skills will be measured through surveys. The goal is to see if this training can better prepare future healthcare providers to offer respectful, informed care to a group that often faces stigma and barriers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A three-day educational curriculum on sexual and reproductive health for persons with disabilities, tailored to the Tanzanian context.
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this curriculum could become a model for training healthcare students to provide better, more inclusive sexual and reproductive care for people with disabilities.
- What could go wrong
- The trial measures changes in knowledge and attitudes, not actual patient outcomes, and results may not generalize beyond this single university in Tanzania.
