What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tests whether a special training program called BRAVE can reduce weight bias in nursing students. About 368 second- and fourth-year nursing students will either receive the BRAVE program or a standard lecture. Researchers will measure changes in attitudes, beliefs, and communication skills over one year using questionnaires and simulated patient encounters.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
BRAVE behavioral intervention (educational presentation, role-play, and simulation encounters)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward effective training methods to reduce weight bias in healthcare settings, improving patient-provider interactions.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage educational study with no clinical outcomes. Results may not generalize beyond this specific student population, and long-term impact on actual patient care is unknown.
