NCT ID: NCT06326567 Recruiting - Cancer Clinical Trials

Comprehensive Connected Cancer Care (C4): Intervention Evaluation

Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The C4 program aims to provide a multi-level intervention program (Patient Level, Healthcare Team and Healthcare System Level) that improves the coordination of care with supportive/ancillary care providers and community services through the use of patient navigation and a digital needs assessment and a closed-loop referral system and improves patient-centered communication and engagement in care through skills training for the healthcare team and provision of culturally appropriate patient educational tools and resources. The program components incorporate three areas that are critical to improving patient-centered care: coordination of care, patient-centered communication and engagement, and psychosocial care and other supportive services.

NCT ID: NCT06246058 Recruiting - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

Measuring Anticipated Attitudes and Behavior Towards a New Medical Treatment in Lesotho

Start date: February 15, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The primary research objective is to examine how uncertainty towards a new medical treatment changes in patients when a partner (can be any close other, i.e. romantic partner, family member, or a close friend) supports the new treatment choice and is willing to be involved in the patient's treatment. I hypothesize that when the patients know that their partner supports uptake of the new medical treatment and will physically accompany them to the visit, patients will (1) experience lower levels of uncertainty and (2) report a higher likelihood of participating in a new treatment in the future, as compared to patients who face the decision about the new treatment alone.

Arogya Sangama: 3 Way Partnership of People, Providers, and Panchayat for Health

Start date: January 18, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a two-year pilot project in the Raichur and Chamarajanagar districts of Karnataka, India aiming to enhance the overall performance of primary health systems, including service utilization, quality, and responsive care, specifically within the recently developed facilities called the Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs). It will leverage rural local government structures known as Gram Panchayat Task Forces (GPTFs) created during the Covid-19 pandemic to strengthen the services delivered by HWCs. The aim is to build capacities and empower these GPTFs to function as a collaborative platform involving people, panchayats, and healthcare providers. This approach seeks to promote-community ownership, grassroots synergy, and social accountability to strengthen HWC service delivery in rural Karnataka (India).

NCT ID: NCT06186128 Recruiting - HIV Clinical Trials

Universal Basic Income and Structural Racism in the US South: HIV Care

017744S
Start date: August 3, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a promising strategy aimed at recalibrating economic systems that are grounded in structural racism. Black men have long been the target of oppressive and interconnected systems of finance and healthcare access, leading to a disproportionate burden of exposure to infectious disease with little healthcare support. Yet to our knowledge, no published UBI studies have ever been implemented exclusively with Black men living with HIV in the US. Motivated and inspired by the innovative health and social science being conducted in extremely resource-limited environments in other parts of the world, we recognize an urgent need to better understand the effect of cash transfers on HIV care among Black men in the US South. The proposed study will be based in Arkansas, which, like other Southern states, has a long history of institutional racism and extremely high rates of racial health disparities, poverty, and chronic disease. We will use a mixed methods research design to conduct an in-depth exploration of a UBI intervention to reduce the racial wage gap and promote the use of culturally relevant protective factors. The provision of a UBI is intended to increase receipt and retention of HIV care services and treatment for Black men through the influx of capital and subsequent increases in culturally-based protective factors such as personal agency and social connections. We hypothesize that providing UBI of $500 per month for 6 months will result in increased HIV care utilization among low-income Black men living with HIV. Secondarily, we hypothesize that the effect of UBI will also increase adherence to HIV medication, such that more UBI recipients will achieve and maintain viral suppression compared to individuals in the control condition.

NCT ID: NCT06043596 Recruiting - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the SafeSpace App Intervention

SafeSpace
Start date: June 12, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of SafeSpace Sexual Health App, an innovative sexual health promotion program focused on reducing sexual risk factors and promoting sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing among young people assigned female or intersex at birth, particularly Black and/or Latine youth, LGBTQ+ youth, youth in states with high teen birth rates and youth who live in rural communities. This study utilizes a two-arm randomized control trial design to measure impacts of receiving the SafeSpace Sexual Health program compared to receiving a similar-length control app program, SafeSpace General Health that focuses on general health. The investigators will ask participants to: - Keep the SafeSpace app downloaded to their device and visit the app regularly over the course of 10 weeks. - Provide contact information. - Receive and open app push notifications for 10 weeks (up to 3 per week). - Complete 3 online surveys over a year: baseline, short-term follow-up (10 weeks after baseline), and long-term follow up (9 months after short-term follow-up). - Receive occasional text messages from the study team.

Overcoming Treatment Barriers

OBSTACLE-S
Start date: March 17, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to assess whether negative or rather the lack of positive treatment expectations could be positively influenced by online short interventions and increase intention so seek treatment and actual help-seeking behavior when compared to a no-treatment control group. Further, the study investigators like to explore if specifically focusing on intensifying positive treatment expectations vs. a reduction of expectations about negative treatment effects will influence the pattern of results differently.

NCT ID: NCT05989282 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Structural Conditions and Health After Release From Prison

SCHARP
Start date: August 5, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

People released from prison experience two times higher cardiovascular (CV) mortality than the general population, have a high prevalence of poor CV health and increased risk of CV events within 2 years of release. Access to high quality healthcare following release from prison is key to preventing poor health and CV outcomes. Our study team will investigate facilitators and barriers to health care access experienced by people released from prison.

NCT ID: NCT05910879 Recruiting - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

RADx-UP Phase 3D (Oregon Saludable: Juntos Podemos)

Start date: April 22, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The ongoing Oregon Saludable: Juntos Podemos (OSJP, Healthy Oregon: Together We Can) project was developed to directly address the COVID-19 related health disparities among Latinx communities through community engagement funded by Phase I and II of the RADx-UP initiative. This project is organized by the University of Oregon's Oregon Saludable: Juntos Podemos (OSJP) project. In this Phase III study, study investigators build on the successful Phase I and Phase II partnerships with Latinx-serving community-based organizations and the project's established Community Scientific Advisory Board (CSAB) to employ a data-informed approach for implementing preventive interventions designed to advance health equity and ameliorate health disparities among vulnerable populations. Based on identity-stress and stereotype threat models for racial and ethnic minorities, study investigators will further tailor the Promotores de Salud COVID-19 evidence-based health promotion intervention to experimentally evaluate a brief behavioral self-affirming implementation intention (SAII) intervention; an approach that is evidence-based for increasing acceptance of health messaging, increasing intentions to change, increasing health promoting behaviors, and decreasing psychological distress. In collaboration with the Mexican Consulate (MC), research team members will attend the MC mobile events, invite MC attendees to participate in the research study and complete a survey, offer the Promotores de Salud, and SAII intervention to all attendees (if event is assigned to the intervention condition), and distribute rapid tests to participants.
