Filter by:Bridging the Gap aims to improve access to effective mental health treatment in a primary care setting through utilization of single session growth mindset interventions for parents and for youths. This project will also utilize focus groups and qualitative interviews to gain feedback on a single session online intervention in a rural pediatric primary care practice.
The study is exploring the ease and ability to integrate a mobile application in outpatient behavioral health treatment. There are two major aims to the study: 1) Determine feasibility and acceptability of integrating a mobile app into behavioral health treatment for adolescents with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, and 2) identify initial signal of effect on engagement and/or treatment outcomes among youth who use the mobile app.
Improving nutrition during pregnancy is critical for maternal and child health, but even more so among pregnant adolescents. Several studies have shown that poor nutrition and diet quality during pregnancy is related to adverse health outcomes among both the mother and the infant. During pregnancy, the fetus's nutrition and diet quality is largely dependent on the mother. A teenage mother is in a vulnerable position because she needs to meet the demands of her own growth and development in addition to the growth and development of her baby, which can be extremely challenging, especially for mothers who are from disadvantaged communities. Surprisingly, given their unique needs, there is limited literature on multicomponent behavioral interventions that adequately address the unique nutritional needs of pregnant adolescent women and their fetuses, which is why interventions targeted at promoting healthy behaviors among low-income, racially diverse pregnant teens should be a public health priority, particularly in the U.S. This study aims to assess whether a multicomponent behavioral intervention improves intention, initiation, and sustained healthy eating behaviors and eating competence among Pregnant adolescents (second trimester) and Postpartum adolescent mothers (<6 months).
Examine the feasibility and acceptability of delivering the S4E intervention to 20 African-American youths between the ages 16-21 in Flint, Michigan. The investigators will examine the preliminary efficacy of the S4E intervention in improving the uptake of HIV self-testing immediately post-intervention.
This project is designed to 1) develop a PrEP implementation plan for a general adolescent clinic. Investigators will develop a replicable implementation plan for providing PrEP to adolescents in a primary care setting; and 2) Determine the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a telehealth intervention to promote adherence in adolescents.
We will investigate the association between social media use and depression in adolescents admitted to a psychiatric unit and continue to follow their progress after discharge in outpatient clinic services. We expect improvement in their depressive symptoms by modifying social media use and adding a mental health app to further encourage the positive effects of social media.
The disruption of social cognition associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and more specifically categorization of facial emotions, remains largely under-studied, despite the high frequency of this pathology in the clinical population. The first results differ from the observations made in adults and this confirms the relevance of studying this theme specifically in adolescence. On the cognitive level, there is a disturbance of the detection and the categorization of the facial emotions in the TPL. The characteristics of this disturbance and its possible association with an attack on the connectivity of the brain remain unknown in adolescence. No functional imaging studies are published in adolescent TPL. This pilot bimodal functional imaging study EEG-NIRS aims to collect preliminary and feasibility data to support a response to upcoming PHRC competitions and eventually offer a science thesis opportunity.
This research is examining how genetic and brain factors play a role in adolescents' health risk behavior as well as studying behaviors that young people engage in that may place them at risk for contracting a sexually transmitted disease like HIV/AIDS, and what kind of educational program works best to reduce these risky behaviors.
