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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study tests a 10-week program to improve heart health in home health aides, who often have poor cardiovascular health. Participants work with a trained peer coach (another home health aide) to learn healthy habits and positive thinking. The program is based on the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 guidelines. The study will see if the program is liked and if it actually improves heart health measures like blood pressure and cholesterol.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Peer coaching delivered Life's Essential 8 program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a scalable way to improve cardiovascular health in a high-risk, underserved workforce.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study with only 40 participants. It focuses on feasibility and short-term changes, so results may not apply broadly or lead to lasting improvements.
