NCT ID: NCT01971398 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Development of Education Materials for Prevention of FAS in Russia

Start date: April 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is designed to increase knowledge and awareness to prevent Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in Russian children through development of printed FAS education materials targeting women of childbearing age in Russia. Alcohol abuse is a major public health problem in Russia. The rates of FAS and Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorders (ARND) in Russia are not precisely known. At this time, there are no programs to prevent FAS in Russia. The results of our previous study, focus groups with health professionals, pregnant women and their partners, non-pregnant women, and women with alcohol dependency, indicated limited knowledge about FAS, misconceptions about alcohol use during pregnancy, and a lack of materials and print resources related to this topic. Based on the initial findings, this proposal aims to develop and evaluate in a clinical trial informational brochures for women to increase knowledge and reduce drinking during pregnancy in Russia. The main hypotheses to be tested are: - 1. Compared to the control group (CG) of women who receive a standard locally available flyer with health recommendations, women in the experimental groups who are exposed to printed information on FAS will show significantly more knowledge about FAS, significantly less acceptance of any alcohol use during pregnancy, and reduced drinking at one month follow-up assessment. - 2. The group exposed to a brochure with negative images (IGN - Intervention group with a "negative brochure") regarding drinking during pregnancy will show significantly greater change in the predicted directions compared to the group exposed to positive images (IGP - Intervention group with a "positive" brochure) at the one month follow-up assessment.

NCT ID: NCT01961050 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Preventing FAS/ARND in Russian Children

Start date: September 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an intervention aimed at reducing risk for alcohol-exposed pregnancies and preventing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in Russian children. The study will determine whether physicians, trained in a dual-focused brief motivational intervention and monitored for performance, can foster greater change in knowledge, health beliefs, alcohol use, and alcohol-exposed pregnancy risk in Russian women who are at risk than standard care.

NCT ID: NCT01911299 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Choline Supplementation in Children With Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Start date: May 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether choline supplementation can improve cognitive functioning of children with prenatal alcohol exposure.

NCT ID: NCT01149538 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders

Postnatal Choline Supplementation in Children With Prenatal Alcohol Exposure

Start date: July 2010
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if choline bitartrate can be administered daily to children with prenatal alcohol exposure, ages 2.5 to 5, as a potential treatment for brain development and cognitive functioning.

NCT ID: NCT00696085 Completed - Substance Abuse Clinical Trials

Fetal Alcohol Damage Prevention Study

Start date: March 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study was to determine whether a series of blood markers of alcohol use obtained from alcohol using pregnant women could help them to change their behavior.

NCT ID: NCT00417794 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Assess the Effectiveness of Atomoxetine in Children With Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and ADD/ADHD

B4Z-MC-X017
Start date: August 2005
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if atomoxetine hydrochloride improves inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity problems in children exposed to alcohol during birth.

NCT ID: NCT00244062 Completed - Pregnancy Clinical Trials

Healthy Moms Alcohol Intervention

Start date: April 2001
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study proposes to test the efficacy of a primary care-based brief intervention with women who resumed heavy drinking during the post-partum period and who used alcohol during a previous pregnancy. The trial will also examine the effects of tobacco use, illicit drug use, depression and domestic violence on alcohol use.

NCT ID: NCT00219336 Completed - Alcohol Consumption Clinical Trials

A Media Based Motivational Intervention to Prevent Alcohol Exposed Pregnancies (AEPs)

Start date: November 2005
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The study evaluated the effectiveness of a mail-based self-guided motivational intervention based on Project CHOICES to reduce alcohol-exposed pregnancies (AEP) with female students and non-students 18 to 44 years of age living in Florida. The investigators hypothesize that the motivational intervention will significantly reduce more women's risk of an AEP than will an informational intervention aimed at preventing fetal alcohol syndrome. Materials will be available in Spanish and English

NCT ID: NCT00164554 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/ARND Research Consortion

Start date: October 2001
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Children will receive comprehensive evaluations through the UOHSC ABC program The assessment for the child will include: medical issues (including medication), dysmorphic examination, intellectual assessment, academic achievement, language, and motor skills. This program will provide appropriate non-study services and referrals. Eligible families will be randomly assigned to treatment group or control group. Treatment group will receive Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). The Control group will receive standard referrals and services through the ABC program and the parent education/advocacy component of the project.

NCT ID: NCT00164346 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Neurocognitive Habilitation for Children With Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND)

Start date: January 2002
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Children will receive comprehensive evaluations through the Children's Research Triangle (CRT) clinical program. The assessment for the child will be in accordance with the protocol developed by Astley and Clarren as performed by one of the clinic pediatricians and final diagnosis will be according to Institute of Medicine (IOM) criteria. Children will be randomized into either a Treatment or Control group. The Treatment group will receive (in addition to standard referrals) neurocognitive habilitation and psychotherapy services as well as parent psychoeducation. The Control group will be referred for intervention through existing community and school-based agencies.
