Filter by:Given the heightened risk of NCDs and mental health issues, it is critical for Jordanians and Syrian refugees to have access to prevention based health services. To address this need, the following project seeks to examine the capacity of Primary Care Health Centers to provide preventive services to empower patients to manage NCDs and potential mental health issues for those who are experiencing distress. The primary research question in this evaluation study is: Does prevention-based health and mental health services in primary health clinics improve health status of Jordanians and Syrian refugees? This research proposal will consist of three study conditions examining: - Condition 1: an existing NCD preventive intervention consisting of 24 sessions, which are 45 minutes covering diabetes, hypertension, obesity, reproductive health, cardiovascular diseases, allergies and smoking; - Condition 2: The existing NCD preventive intervention with 4 added mental health awareness sessions covering traumatic stress reactions, individual strategies for coping with stress and traumatic events and collective strategies for coping with stress and trauma; - Condition 3: Treatment as usual A group randomized study will be conducted in three clinics with patients of the respective clinics. The clinics will be identified prior to the study based on similar demographics, service utilization and staff capacity. Once the three clinics are identified they will be selected to one of the three study conditions. This research will be conducted in collaboration with the University of Illinois (UIUC), AmeriCares, and the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS) of Jordan. AmeriCares will work as the operational humanitarian organization collaborating with and providing support to RHAS and UIUC. RHAS's healthy community clinic is a community-based health project launched in 2011 conducted with the Ministry of Health (MOH). The project aims to build the capacity of participating Health Centers to provide better preventative services to empower patients to manage their diseases and reduce future complications. The Healthy Community Clinic, established within existing MOH facilities, provides medical practitioners with the training and resources necessary to implement management and prevention-based care to patients in underserved communities.
Behavioral family therapy, specifically focused on insuring support for the primary caregiver of a child with type one diabetes mellitus and healthy family dynamics, may improve the child's glycemic control as measured by hemoglobin A1c level (HbA1c).
Participants diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes receive personal coaching from a Certified Diabetic Educator (CDE) over a six-month period. The coaching program is enhanced using an mobile application and care management platform.
In the current study we wish to investigate the effects on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) of a neprilysin inhibitor
To evaluate the effect of onyx sorghum on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
The present study will investigate the effect of prior walking on postprandial metabolism and endothelial function in healthy South Asian and White European women. Participants will complete two, 2-day trials in a random, crossover design separated by at least 3 weeks to control for the menstrual cycle phase. On day 1, participants will either rest or complete a 60 minute walk at 60% maximal oxygen uptake. On day 2, participants will arrive at 08:00 having fasted overnight and a baseline venous blood sample and endothelial function measurement will be taken. Participants will consume a high-fat breakfast and lunch and 12 subsequent venous blood samples will be taken throughout the day at standardised intervals to measure a variety of coronary heart disease risk markers. A second endothelial function measurement will be completed 2 hours after the breakfast. Blood pressure will be measured every hour. It is expected that the South Asian participants will have impaired metabolism and endothelial function compared to their European counterparts but the bout of exercise performed on day 1 will mitigate these responses.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the performance and safety of the Guardian™ Sensor (3) over 170 hours (7 days) when inserted in the abdomen used in subjects age 14 - 75 years with the Guardian™ Connect System.
The intervention proposed for this project aims to improve the practice of physical activity (PA) for people with type 2 diabetes by increasing their motivation using a portable device to monitor PA (FitBit). This study will provide preliminary data to assess the feasibility of the intervention, its acceptability for patients with type 2 diabetes, and its potential impact of PA motivation and PA level.
The study specifically aims to determine glycemic and insulinemic response of added low GI ingredients, beta-glucan, resistant starch and isomaltulose to foods.
Aim of the study is to evaluate efficacy of freestyle Libre system (flash glucose monitoring) in real life in term of Glycated Haemoglobin reduction and acceptance of the system evaluated through validated questionnaires after 3 and 6 months of device's use.
