NCT ID NCT07315919
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new curriculum that teaches high school students in construction career programs how building design can impact community health and environmental justice. Forty students aged 14-18 will be randomly assigned to either the new curriculum or the standard one. Over 6 months, researchers will measure how well students understand the links between construction, environment, and health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Community-Centered Design Curriculum with Ecosystem Justice Translator (EJT) software
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that teaching environmental justice in construction classes helps students design healthier, fairer communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 students, so results may not apply broadly. It measures awareness, not actual health outcomes.
