Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility of the Individualized Positive Psychosocial Interaction (IPPI) with 108 nursing home residents living with dementia and distress or depressive symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: •is it feasible to deliver the IPPI and track impact through data collected in the electronic medical records. Care partners will engage eligible residents in 2 brief preference-based IPPIs per week over the course of 6 months.
This randomized control trial will test an economic intervention to reduce Kenyan men's engagement in behaviors that increase the risk of HIV/STIs. Participants randomized to the intervention group will be able to open accounts with a partner bank and will be incentivized to save with lottery-based rewards.
The overall aim of the Data-Informed Platform for Health (DIPH) is to improve Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) programmes and services at the district level. The DIPH strategy does this by bringing together data on inputs and processes to promote the use of local data for decision-making, priority-setting, and planning by introducing a structured decision-making process at the district level. The DIPH is embedded in the existing district decision-making forum- e.g., performance review teams meetings - adding a structured coordination process between different departments and formal data-sharing for evidence-based decision-making, planning, and resource allocation according to local health priorities. Conceptually, the DIPH strategy uses a structured set of processes involving five pre-defined steps and standardised job-aids corresponding to each step to facilitate linking data from health and associated departments and stakeholders. A typical DIPH cycle has five steps around a health theme, which take about four months to complete. Technical assistance is provided by the district stakeholders' induction, orientation, and handholding during the implementation of the initial cycles. The DIPH job-aids - a set of standardised job-aids (paper forms or web-based interface) - are designed to help organise and interpret data from multiple sectors involved in delivering services around the chosen theme using a common data-sharing platform. They are aimed at district leadership and management teams systematically using, inputting and processing data for decision-making, planning and progress monitoring of the theme. In Ethiopia, the DIPH intervention research will be employed for four cycles in the North Shoa zone (12 intervention and 12 comparison districts), coupled with process evaluation to understand and improve ongoing implementation issues. In addition, for the impact evaluation of DIPH implementation, a before-and-after comparison of the study outcomes between intervention and comparison study arms will be carried out via district health administration surveys. This study is a collaboration between the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
This mixed-methods, two-arm, randomized controlled trial will evaluate the impact of Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a follow-up care to patients who received fall prevention recommendations at Oregon Health & Science University Internal Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic provided over 12 months.

Most gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures are now performed with sedation and analgesia. Sedation and analgesia affects the quality of the procedure, patient co-operation and compliance as well as endoscopist's satisfaction. A wide variety of procedures have been reported worldwide for anesthesia during gastrointestinal endoscopy in adults. The current survey was primarily designed to provide national data on the attidutes and behaviors of gastroentorologist on anesthesia procedures in endoscopy units in Turkey.
