Filter by:The study is a single-blinded randomized waitlist controlled trial that aims to assess changes in objective and self-report sleep improvement through use of a dynamic and personalized sleep improvement smartphone app and advice engine in those with poor sleep (i.e., subclinical threshold insomnia) when compared to a waitlist control group after 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
This research will explore the impact of digital technology, specifically social media, on the health behaviours of mothers in the postpartum period by conducting an experimental study to test the effect of social media messaging on body dissatisfaction, eating attitudes and behaviours, and physical activity intentions and behaviours among postpartum mothers. The primary objective is to determine the extent to which body image messaging targeting mothers, compared with the control, result in feelings of body dissatisfaction and poorer eating attitudes and behaviours, and increased physical activity intention immediately following the 5-day exposure period. The secondary objective is to determine the sustained impact of the body image messaging compared to control at 1-month follow-up.
The overarching goal of this study is to improve the health of women and children in rural areas of Uganda through strengthening of the community health workforce, which provides critical health services to the rural poor.

Randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness in managing diabetes and improving mental health through a telephonic layperson-delivered empathy and relationship-focused program for patients at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) against usual care.
First research findings suggest that the influence of digital media on children's and adolescents' health depends primarily on proper use and regulation. In line with Social Cognitive Theory, parents' own mobile device use is very important to regulate children's media use because parents are their children's role models. However, parents do not always behave as optimal role models: They use smartphones on playgrounds, in restaurants, as well as during family mealtimes. This usage of mobile devices leads to interruptions during face-to-face conversations or routines which is defined as "technoference". Studies among children and parents suggest that parental mobile device use is associated with fewer parent-child interactions. In addition, first studies investigated mobile device use at the dining table and showed that mothers had less interactions with their children during meal times when they used a mobile device compared to mothers who did not and their children were also less likely to try new and unfamiliar food. Along the same lines, lower parental mobile device use during mealtime is also associated with healthier body weight in children. AIM: Examination of the effect of a time out from smartphone use during a family meal on the parent-child interaction at the meal table and eating quality in comparison to family meals where participants use the smartphone as usual. DESIGN: The study is a within-family field experiment with daily assessments over 14 days (7 days for the experimental condition, 7 days for the control condition). Families will go through both, intervention and control condition with a break of 21 days in between. The assessment of the main and secondary outcomes is conducted at the baseline, over a 14 day daily diary phase and at the follow-up (directly after the daily diary phase). The sample will consist of 120 families with at least one child between the age of 6 to 14 years old. Only the participating adult in the study fills in the questionnaires. OUTCOMES: (Un)healthy eating and parent-child interaction constitute the main outcome, whereas technoference, mealtime duration, atmosphere at the meal table, and smartphone use frequency are secondary outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to assess how family relationships are related to health and nutrition behaviors among transgender and gender diverse youth and young adults.
A study protocol for analyze the influence of therapeutic education on the metabolic control of patients with type I diabetes. To measure the change in glucose levels, it will use the continuous glucose monitoring sensor that the patients have implanted. It will perform a data download prior and after to the educational intervention. An assessment of acquired knowledge will also be performed and it will be analyzed whether learning about their disease and self-care helps to improve their emotional state. The intervention of this study is only training with therapeutic education, it does not require any type of extra test or medical or pharmacological product. It will only be necessary to answer attitudinal questionnaires by the patient
ATHLETE will set up a prospective Europe-wide exposome cohort covering the first 2 decades of the life course, which will integrate data on the external, chemical, physical,behavioral, and social domains of the exposome, as well as on health outcomes and biological omics responses, from preconception until adolescence. As part of ATHLETE, the investigators will follow up a unique existing exposome cohort into adolescence (the HELIX Subcohort).
This pilot study will evaluate possible intervention components to be included in a future stress management and health behaviour change trial and to pilot test their feasibility and acceptability in a small sample.
