NCT ID: NCT02925429 Completed - HIV Clinical Trials

PostNAPS: FI, Nutrition, and Psychosocial Health Among Women of Mixed HIV Status and Their Infants in Gulu, Uganda

PostNAPS
Start date: May 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational

PostNAPs was a continuation of the PreNAPs study. 246 women were enrolled in the postnatal period with the primary scientific objective of determining whether food insecurity was an independent risk factor for poor maternal nutritional or psychosocial outcomes or for sub-optimal infant feeding practices.

NCT ID: NCT02835989 Completed - Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trials

Community Paramedicine at Home

CP@Home
Start date: October 25, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Community Paramedicine @Home (CP@Home) is a novel community paramedicine health assessment program for high users of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Individuals who have been identified as active callers to EMS, individuals who have called EMS for lift-assists, and direct paramedic referrals are referred into the community paramedicine home visit program. The program will focus on in-home chronic disease management, community health service connections, and EMS usage education. Aside from chronic disease management, aspects of the program include health-related quality of life, social isolation and other social determinants of health. Participants in the program will have up to 3 one-on-one home visits from a community paramedic to ultimately reduce repeat EMS calls and improve their overall health.

NCT ID: NCT02767141 Completed - Food Insecurity Clinical Trials

Coping Strategies Used by Food Insecure Households

Start date: May 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Children without consistent access to sufficient and nutritious food show sustained disadvantages. To improve food security, households utilize three types of coping strategies- participating in governmental feeding and financial assistance programs; obtaining food from nongovernment providers; and using individually developed strategies. To understand the interdependencies among strategies and decision-making processes used to select them, the investigators conducted a two-phased, mixed-methods study using a socio-ecological theoretical framework. First, employing a cross sectional, observational design the investigators administered in-person surveys to 320 adults in very low food secure (VLFS) households with children. Over 1 year later, the investigators repeated select questions and conducted in depth interviews with a cohort (n=28) of participants. Descriptive statistics defined magnitude of associations among strategies. Following bivariate analysis, the investigators assessed interdependencies and factors affecting relationships with log-linear models. The investigators analyzed interviews using an hierarchically ordered, analytical coding structure. With Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), the investigators developed typologies of VLFS and created models treating food security as an outcome. The association of soup kitchen use and nutritionally risky behavior was altered by Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Food safety-related risky behavior level related to intensity of food pantry use by participation in school food programs. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) did not affect the association between soup kitchen use and risky food safety behaviors. Key interview constructs included becoming and being short of food; coping strategies; decisions used to inform choice of strategies; and managing a devalued social status. Improved income stability was a necessary condition for improving food security.

NCT ID: NCT02558660 Completed - Food Insecurity Clinical Trials

Evaluating Use of a Farmers Market Incentive Program Among Low-Income Health Center Patients

Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a brief clinic-based educational intervention on utilization of Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB)—a Michigan-wide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) healthy food incentive--among low income health center patients at a community health center in Southeast Michigan.

NCT ID: NCT02095613 Completed - HIV Clinical Trials

Tailored Nutrition and Food Security Interventions in Comprehensive HIV Care

Start date: May 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study hypothesizes that one form of food supplement to HIV-infected individuals in Haiti (ready-to-use-supplementary food) will result in improved HIV, nutrition and quality of life outcomes when compared to a second type of food supplement (corn-soy-blend) over the course of 12 months of food supplementation.
