There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this 6- month study is to determine the feasibility of a start-up incubator intervention designed to decrease occupational stress and depression for beginning Kentucky farmers. The objectives are to: #1) test the feasibility of a mentorship and start-up incubator intervention on depression in beginning Kentucky farmers using questionnaires administered prestudy, mid-study, and post-study; #2) explore associations between mentorship, occupational stress and depression in beginning Kentucky farmers using specific survey questionnaires to guide future research. This study's results will provide valuable data to agriculture and occupational health researchers. The data will illustrate the impact of mentorship and community support on improving depression and occupational stress of beginning Kentucky farmers.
This is a research study in healthy participants. The purpose of this study is to see how safe the study drug is and how well it is tolerated after dosing. This study will also investigate pharmacokinetics of DZD2269; renal excretion of DZD2269 will also be evaluated. The study will also measure biomarkers such as pCREB in the blood.
The overall goal of this overall goal is to pilot an adaptation of an established Social-Emotional Learning Program with novel wellness and COVID-19 safety components that are trauma-informed and culturally-specific in a resettled refugee community. In this pilot, "EMPOWER" (Emotions Program Outside the clinic and Wellness Education for Refugees), the study team will assess implementation outcomes (adoption, acceptability, and feasibility) of EMPOWER with refugee children and families during the COVID-19 pandemic through longitudinal evaluations and measurements of feasibility, acceptability, and attrition. The study team will also evaluate the impact of EMPOWER by assessing (a) children's social-emotional learning competence and (b) children's and family's COVID-19 knowledge.
The present study is a 100-participant randomized controlled 2-arm parallel trial that employs a metagenomic approach to examine how 8 weeks of supervised moderate-intensity treadmill walking exercise (MWE) for 30-45 min 3 times/week alters the gut microbiome, serum short chain fatty acids, and the cardiometabolic profile, body weight, and body composition of individuals 30-64 years old who have overweight or obesity and have prediabetes.
This Phase 1 study is a single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD), placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of intravenous ACU193 when administered to participants diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Mild Dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The purpose of this study is to preliminarily evaluate a web-based app to improve provider implementation and patient engagement in homework (i.e., between-session practice of skills learned during therapy) during child mental health treatment by conducting a small-scale feasibility trial in community practice settings comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to CBT enhanced with the app.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong, neurodevelopmental disorder effecting one in fifty-nine children. Each individual with ASD is unique. Children with ASD may have trouble making friends, keeping friends, communicating their needs, engaging in leisure activities, learning to read and do math, and many other challenges. The children may engage in repetitive behaviors such as hitting themselves or flapping their hands, and may be over sensitive to particular sounds or lights which can make certain places, such as a store, very uncomfortable. Also, children with ASD may have challenging behaviors such as hitting others and excessive tantrums that can seem uncontrollable. 25 to 40 hours a week of intensive applied behavior analysis is the evidence-based treatment for children with ASD. Many children with ASD in rural areas and certain states are unable to access evidence-based treatment because of insurance barriers and lack of providers. The Competent Learner Model uses strategies from applied behavior analysis to target core skills that increase successful participation in life activities. Its program is applicable across all ages and developmental levels, and it has an online course of study which has been used to train professionals and lay people alike including parents. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of training parents in applied behavior analysis using the Competent Learner Model with children with ASD who do not have access to treatment. The program consisted of a hybrid of group sessions for caregivers, coaching sessions for the caregiver-child dyads, and online units for caregivers. This project assessed participation in and satisfaction with the program as well as changes in parenting stress. Feedback from caregivers will be used to create a more satisfactory method of increasing accessing to families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in rural areas.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the HALT COVID Ambassador educational outreach program on increasing likelihood to vaccinate against COVID-19
The aim of this study is to collect and analyze retrospective data on Oxbryta in a real-world setting. This is a multicenter, retrospective data collection and analysis study to characterize health outcomes in approximately 300 patients with SCD who have been treated with Oxbryta as part of their usual care. Any patient with SCD who received Oxbryta treatment for at least 2 weeks as part of their usual care according to the Oxbryta US Prescribing Information (USPI) is eligible to participate. Study data from 1 year before and up to 1 year after the first dose of Oxbryta will be entered in case report forms (CRFs) via an electronic data capture (EDC) system by the study staff.
First responders (law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical system personnel) are subjected to daily pressures from their duties with resultant compassion fatigue, burnout, anger, poor mental and physical health, maladaptive behavior, and sleep disturbance. The unprecedented heroin and opioid epidemic in West Virginia has accelerated the stresses as these first responders witness overdoses and overdose death on a frequent basis. The plight and suffering of children of the overdose victims is an additional overlooked element in the stress on the first responder community. The proposed project will deliver mindfulness-based resilience training to improve the mental and physical wellbeing, prevent compassion fatigue, burnout, and attrition of first responders and performance improvement by reducing predictable cognitive errors in the Charleston and Huntington areas and measure the effects of this training on this population using validated questionnaires and salivary cortisol before and after the training.
