Filter by:The goal of this study is to assess the impact of a first aid training delivered through a blended learning approach on learning outcomes and helping behaviour in adult laypeople in Rwanda. Participants will be randomly assigned to either: - a first aid training with blended learning approach; - a first aid training with conventional face-to-face approach; - no first aid training. All participants will be asked before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings to complete - a questionnaire on first aid-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and willingness to help; - a practical test on first aid-related skills. The helping behaviour of the participants will be surveyed before and 6 months after the first aid trainings have been completed. Researchers will compare the effects in learning outcomes and helping behaviour after 6 months between: - the first aid training with blended learning approach and no first aid training; - the first aid training with blended learning approach and first aid training with conventional face-to-face approach.
The project aims to provide an overview of injury and illnesses during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. All teams are invited to participate and record details on time-loss injury and illness occurrence and training and match exposure during the tournament. In order to assess the severity of injuries (based on the length of time a player is unable to play for), all injuries are to be monitored until they are fully rehabilitated, even if this is after the end of the tournament. This information will be recorded by the team physicians and provided on daily report forms to the research team. Data will be encrypted before analysis and only anonymized data will be published. Descriptive statistics are used to provide an overview of the participant demographics and injury and illness occurrence. Injury incidence is calculated as number of injuries per 1000 hours of exposure, and injury burden is calculated as time-loss days per 1000 hours of exposure. Injury incidence and burden will be reported for training and match injuries separately. Illness incidence is calculated per 365 exposure days.
Firearms injuries present a major pediatric public health challenge, killing >800 children ages 0-15 annually and leading to lifelong disability among >1000 survivors. About ⅓ of firearms injuries to children under age 15 are due to unintentional causes rather than suicide or homicide. The investigators propose development and evaluation of ShootSafe, an innovative, engaging, and educational website accessible by smartphone, tablet or computer that engages children to learn firearms safety. ShootSafe extends existing programs to achieve 3 primary goals: a) teach children knowledge and skills they need to hunt, shoot, and use firearms safely; b) help children learn and hone critical cognitive skills of impulse control and hypothetical thinking needed to use firearms safely; and c) alter children's perceptions about their own vulnerability and susceptibility to firearms-related injuries, the severity of those injuries, and their perceived norms about peer behavior surrounding firearms use. ShootSafe will accomplish these goals through a combination of interactive games plus podcast videos delivered by peer actors (impactful testimonials about firearms injuries/deaths they experienced) and experts (wisdom & experience from trusted role models). The website will also incorporate brief messaging to parents, who will absorb key lessons and reinforce them with their children. The website will be evaluated through a randomized controlled trial with 162 children ages 10-12, randomly assigning children to engage in the ShootSafe website or an active control website on child nutrition. The investigators will incorporate sub-aims to evaluate changes in children's (a) knowledge, (b) cognitive skills in impulse control and hypothetical thinking, (c) perceptions about firearms safety, and (d) simulated behavior when handling, storing and transporting firearms. All outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at a 4-month follow-up assessment to evaluate retention. Training will comprise two 30-minute sessions.
More than 41 million children, or 55 percent of all children in the United States, live more than 30 minutes away from a pediatric trauma center. The management of pediatric trauma requires medical expertise that is only available at Level I pediatric trauma centers, which are specialized pediatric referral hospitals located in large urban cities. Smaller hospitals lack pediatric trauma expertise and resources to properly care for these children. When a small hospital receives a child with trauma, the standard of care is to conduct a telephone consultation to a pediatric trauma specialist, err on the side of safety, and transfer the child to the regional Level I pediatric trauma center. A newer model of care, the Virtual Pediatric Trauma Center (VPTC), uses live video, or telemedicine, to bring the expertise of a Level I pediatric trauma center virtually to patients at any hospital emergency department. While the VPTC model is being used more frequently, the advantages and disadvantages of these two systems of care remain unknown, particularly with regard to parent/family-centered outcomes. The goal of this study is to optimize the patient and family experience and to minimize distress, healthcare utilization, and out-of-pocket costs following the injury of a child. The results of this project will help to optimize communication, confidence, and shared decision making between parents/families and clinical staff from both the transferring and receiving hospitals.
In view of sparse data of precise definition, risk factors, natural history and management of bladder perforation following Transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). We aim to correlate the relation between the site, depth and extent of resection with bladder perforation. Also, correlation between vertical depth, horizontal extent of resection and recurrence and progression of tumor
This study evaluates the frailty and the health adverse events in the population of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. It will be used the Centre of Excellence Self-Administered questionnaire (CESAM) which assesses frailty of older adults by providing a score and a of frailty in 4 levels.
This study evaluates the effects of the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP), an established home-visiting program, using a scientifically rigorous individual-level randomized controlled trial. The study will be based in South Carolina, where a Medicaid waiver in combination with a pay-for-success contract will allow expansion of the program to women on Medicaid. The study plans to enroll 4000 low-income, first time mothers and their children into the intervention group, and another 2000 into the control group. The study will evaluate the program's impacts on outcomes using administrative records. This study aims to yield new evidence on the effect of NFP in a modern context, applied to a new population, across a broad range of outcomes, and financed by a novel public-private partnership based on accountability for outcomes.
The main objective of the study is to investigate if a video intervention can help increase knowledge, decrease risky behaviours on the hill, and reduce injury risk in students who participate in ski and snowboard school programs. The study design is a cluster randomized controlled trial where participating schools will be randomized into either an intervention or control group. The intervention video will contain an injury prevention and safety promotion component for skiing or snowboarding. The control group will receive the standard orientation video that many schools typically provide for students prior to their ski/snowboard outings in previous years.
To examine the effectiveness of four motivational counseling groups and a directed observational experience in the emergency room in comparison to education and community volunteering only, in reducing high risk driving behaviors
