Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.5 (TYOH 2.5)

Start date: June 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The idea for this study came from the research team's current study called Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness (TYOH) 2.0, which provides coaching and a leadership guide to youth transitioning out of homelessness. Based on feedback from youth and coaches involved in that study, the research team plans to make small changes to the leadership guide and see if it works better as an in-person, four-week leadership program. All participants in this study will be invited to attend an in-person, four-week leadership program. There will be two programs running at the same time: one in St. Catharines and one in Toronto. The goal is to have 15 participants in each program. The main purpose of the study is to learn what participants think of the program. The second purpose is to see if there are changes in identity capital (feeling a sense of purpose and confidence in achieving goals) and knowledge about things that are covered in the program, when the research team compares participants' answers at the beginning and at the end of the program.

NCT ID: NCT06311838 Recruiting - Opioid Use Disorder Clinical Trials

Building Social and Structural Connections for the Prevention of Opioid Use Disorder Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness

Start date: May 6, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Homelessness severely affects health and well-being and is particularly negative for youth. Between 70-95% of youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) report problem substance use and 66-89% have a mental health disorder. Youth appear to be at greater risk for living on the streets or being homeless than adults and are more vulnerable to long term consequences of homelessness. Multiple social determinants of health (SDOH) are uniquely associated with homelessness, driving substance use and adverse mental health consequences. However, limited research has identified pragmatic interventions that have a long-term ameliorating impact on the complex, multi-symptomatic issues among these youth. This study overcomes prior gaps in research through testing a multi-component comprehensive prevention intervention targeting SDOH that may affect biopsychosocial health indicators and longer-term health outcomes. In partnership with a drop-in center for YEH, youth between the ages of 14 to 24 years, will be engaged and randomly assigned to conditions using a dismantling design so that essential intervention components can be efficiently identified. In particular, youth (N = 300) will be randomly assigned to a) Motivational Interviewing/Community Reinforcement Approach + Services as Usual (MI/CRA + SAU, n = 80), b) Strengths-Based Outreach and Advocacy + Services As Usual (SBOA + SAU, n = 80), c) MI/CRA + SBOA + SAU (n = 80) or d) SAU (n=60) through the drop-in center. In order to assess the longer-term prevention effects on substance use, mental health and other outcomes, all youth will be assessed at baseline and at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24-months post-baseline. The primary goal of this study is to establish the impact of a comprehensive intervention embedded within a system that serves YEH, a community drop-in center, on youth's opioid misuse and disorder, other substance misuse and disorders, mental health diagnoses, and other targeted outcomes. This study will offer unique information on the physiological and psychological stress pathways underlying change for specific subgroups of youth along with cost estimates to inform future implementation efforts in drop-in centers around the country.

NCT ID: NCT06246773 Not yet recruiting - Homelessness Clinical Trials

Feasibility of a Positive Parenting Program for Women Experiencing Homelessness Who Have a History of Interpersonal Violence

Start date: February 19, 2024
Phase: N/A

The purpose of this study is to strengthen the skills and self-efficacy of women by addressing the social and emotional trauma that they have experienced from interpersonal violence (IPRV) and homelessness and to promote positive parenting strategies through Play and Learning Strategies (PALS), an evidence based intervention.

NCT ID: NCT06138054 Recruiting - Homelessness Clinical Trials

MI-CBTech: A Mobile Intervention for Community Integration in Homeless-Experienced Veterans With SMI

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

This study aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a brief behavioral intervention that combines two treatments, Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), that have been shown to work in prior research studies. The format of the intervention will be a combination of in-person sessions and remote elements delivered via mobile phone (together called MI-CBTech). The goal of the intervention is to improve community integration in Veterans with serious mental illness (SMI) who have experienced homelessness. A time- and format-matched control arm will include remote mindfulness training. 50 Veterans with SMI experiencing homelessness will be randomized to one of the two arms (25 per arm).

NCT ID: NCT05873491 Completed - Homelessness Clinical Trials

Homeless People in French-speaking Switzerland and Integrative Medicine: A Pilot Intervention in Music Therapy

Start date: May 22, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility to develop and implement a music therapy intervention among homeless individuals in French-speaking Switzerland. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are the music therapy sessions acceptable? - Are the music therapy sessions feasible? - Are the chosen effectiveness primary outcomes appropriate for future larger studies (i.e., health-related quality of life and psychological stress)? Participants will take part in six sub-group (of 6 participants) 2-hours music therapy sessions over 6 weeks. The sessions will be conducted by a certified music therapist and will offer sensory workshops of immersive musical listening, digital and acoustic music creation and shared improvised music. The music therapy sessions aim to create a space for sound and relaxation; promote the emergence of creativity and improvements in social skills and self-esteem through the co-construction of a privileged space for musical interaction.

NCT ID: NCT05781503 Active, not recruiting - Homelessness Clinical Trials

Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.0 (TYOH 2.0)

Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: This 12-month pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) builds on previous community-engaged work and explores whether portable rent subsidies and an intervention targeting identity capital (purpose, control, self-efficacy, and self-esteem) hold promise as a way to facilitate socioeconomic inclusion for youth (age 16 - 24 years) exiting homelessness and living in market rent housing in Ontario, Canada. All (n = 40) participants will receive rent subsidies; half will be randomly assigned an identity capital intervention (co-designed leadership guide + coach). Methods and analysis: This study will employ a convergent mixed methods, two-arm parallel RCT, open-label design with 1:1 allocation embedded within a Community Based Participatory Action Research framework and underpinned by Critical Social Theory. Specifically, the objectives and measures are: 1. Primary - examine whether targeted economic and identity-based supports are a feasible and acceptable way to foster socioeconomic inclusion. Measures: recruitment/enrolment/dropout metrics; self-report composite checklists regarding intervention engagement; qualitative focus groups. 2. Secondary - assess differences between targeted economic and identity-based supports (intervention group) and economic supports only (control group) at the 12-month primary endpoint with respect to self-reported socioeconomic inclusion measures of: 1) education, employment and training (EET); 2) housing security; and 3) identity capital. Measures: self-report composite EET checklist; self-report measures of housing security and identity capital. 3. Exploratory - explore whether variables at baseline (e.g., participant demographics such as gender or global assessment of individual needs [GAIN]) suggest the intervention may be more feasible and acceptable for certain groups of young people. Measures: select variables from the baseline demographic; GAIN-Short Screener questionnaires for those in the intervention group. Ethics and dissemination: This study received ethical approval from the Unity Health Toronto Research Ethics Board. The investigators will continue working alongside community partners - including youth with lived expertise - to disseminate findings broadly and in diverse formats.
