This is a registered clinical trial with active enrollment and no posted results; the registry record describes planned methods and outcomes only, not findings.
As stated by the source record.
Quoted from the source exactly as published.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04739696). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver. Recruitment status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 538 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Colon Cancer, Solid Tumor, Adult. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: PEPRR; BEHAVIORAL: Pep-Pal. Primary outcome measures: Caregiver: Change in Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD) , Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months follow up. Brief summary: This randomized control trial will investigate the ability of an effective stress management psychoeducation program for employed caregivers to mitigate psychological distress and pathophysiology in spousal or partnered caregivers of patients' diagnosis with a solid tumor cancer of any stage. It is expected that improving caregiver status will have reduced depressive symptoms.
