Preventing Vulnerable Child Syndrome in the NICU With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (PreVNT study)
This study is recruiting. It focuses on schizophrenia and currently lists participation information in the United States.
Key information made simple
What is this study testing?
This study is testing whether cognitive behavioural therapy may be useful for children experiencing schizophrenia.
What would participation involve?
Participants may take part in cognitive behavioural therapy, complete questionnaires or follow-up assessments, attend study visits with the research team. The registry lists locations in United States.
Who is it mainly for?
This study appears to be mainly for children with schizophrenia. Because it involves minors, a parent or guardian may need to be involved.
What should you check before joining?
Ask about how many sessions are required and who delivers them, whether there is a comparison group, how many visits or travel steps are needed, what role parents or guardians have in the process.
Your next step
The official record suggests a mix of remote and in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent and meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include other factors that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.
Questions to ask before joining
- What are the exact eligibility criteria, and what could exclude someone?
- How many visits, assessments, or follow-ups are expected, and over what period?
- What risks, side effects, practical burdens, or alternatives should be understood first?
- Who should be contacted to confirm locations, timing, compensation, and next steps?

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring behavioral or lifestyle intervention for people with schizophrenia. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.
Why is the study type not clearly categorized?
The study type is not clearly categorized in the public registry. Focus on the objective, required tasks, visits, any intervention, and eligibility criteria, then ask the study team to confirm.
Do I need to want to stop or reduce tobacco use to participate?
The public registry appears to mention tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, or another addiction-related topic. Ask the study team whether you need to want to stop, reduce, already be abstinent, or simply meet use-related criteria. Eligibility must be confirmed by the study team.
Does a loved one or caregiver need to be involved?
The public registry appears to mention a loved one, caregiver, or family involvement. Ask whether that person must participate, provide information, attend visits, or simply be available if needed. The study team must confirm what is required.
What risks or points should I check?
The public registry does not make the main risk category clear. Ask the study team what activities are required, what could feel uncomfortable, how safety is monitored, and what happens if you want to stop. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.
Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?
The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
Who is behind this study?
This study is sponsored by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, which appears to be a university. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
Can I still join this study?
The registry indicates that this study is currently recruiting. This does not mean you are eligible: the study team must confirm the criteria, available locations, and next steps.
