What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether a training program called CONSULT-BP, which teaches healthcare trainees to recognize bias and communicate better, could improve blood pressure in their patients with hypertension. The study included 118 patients, mostly from minority or low-income backgrounds, and compared their blood pressure before and after the training. The goal was to see if better doctor-patient relationships lead to better health outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
CONSULT-BP educational intervention (bias mitigation and communication training for healthcare trainees)
What this could lead to
If this training works, it could point toward a way to reduce blood pressure disparities in minority and low-income patients by improving how doctors communicate.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 118 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training targets trainees, not direct patient treatment, so any blood pressure improvements may be modest or hard to sustain.
