Filter by:The aim of the study is to test the effect of daily videoconference updates between parents of preterm newborns and health care providers which also offer them the possibility of seeing their child on the parental stress in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) afflicts approximately 154,000 people under the age of 20. Most people with T1D are diagnosed at a young age; their parents have to manage their child's condition. Eventually, the child must begin to take steps to transition to self-management. During the transition from parent to adolescent self-management, difficulties arise because adolescents may not be fully aware of, or want, to take responsibility for all the necessary tasks to successfully manage their T1D. Though there are other apps on the market to help with diabetes care, NONE do what the proposed app will do. The proposed self-management mobile app allows for monitoring the patients' T1D by linking their self-management information to their parents' cell phone, and thus also helps to bridge communication gaps. Prior research suggests that these are critical gaps that must be filled in order for successful transition in care to occur, the proposed app will help fill some of these gaps.
Caribbean nations, including Jamaica, exhibit HIV rates that are second only to sub-Saharan Africa. Jamaican young women and adolescent girls are at particularly high risk due to a number of cultural factors, gender norms, partnering with older male partners, and lack of knowledge and skills related to sexual refusal and HIV prevention. U.S. studies have shown that mothers may act as a key influence of their daughters' sexual risk beliefs and behaviors. However, no such studies have documented these effects outside of the U.S. and no studies have evaluated HIV risk-reduction interventions with Jamaican adolescent girls and their mothers. Hence, the purpose of this study is to partner with the University of the West Indies, Jamaican community based organizations (CBOs) and families in order to develop and test a culture-specific mother-daughter HIV risk-reduction intervention in a randomized field experiment. Specifically, the investigative team will evaluate whether a culture-specific, theory-based, skill-building intervention with Jamaican adolescent girls and their mothers can directly and/or indirectly reduce these girls' HIV risk-associated sexual behaviors. Jamaican girls, ages 13 - 17, and their mothers/female guardians will be recruited from CBOs and randomly assigned to either: (a) a mother-daughter HIV risk-reduction intervention condition or (b) a "no intervention" waitlist control condition. The HIV risk-reduction intervention includes 12 1-hour modules scheduled over 2 days and implemented by trained adult Jamaican women (nurses and CBO staff). The mother component is designed to increase those parenting behaviors (e.g., monitoring and parent-teen sexual risk communication [PTSRC]) associated with reduced adolescent sexual risk-taking; the teen component is designed to improve girls' beliefs and skills related to abstinence, sexual negotiation and condom use. A "waitlist" control condition is being employed as the proposed project is a pilot study of the HIV risk-reduction intervention. Primary outcomes include mothers'/daughters' reports of parenting behaviors (monitoring and PTSRC) and daughters' self-reports of sexual risk behaviors (sexual intercourse, unprotected sex, condom use, number of partners). Secondary outcomes include daughters' STI rates, mothers' beliefs regarding parenting behaviors and daughters beliefs regarding sexual risk behaviors.
Picky eating behaviour in young children is a very common concern for parents. The aim of the study is to investigate factors during early life which are associated with a child becoming a picky eater.
The purpose of this study is to use a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of parent coaching sessions using video-based feedback, compared to the sessions without the use of video-based feedback on parent strategy use.
The proposed study is a cluster randomized trial to test the effectiveness of a parental support programme in pre-school class to promote healthy dietary habits and physical activity and prevent obesity, delivered by teachers and school health services and in collaboration with primary care. The control condition is standard care in schools. The 6-month programme is carried out in schools in disadvantaged areas and is universal. It is based on Social Cognitive Theory and consists of four components: 1) Health information to parents regarding the child; 2) Motivational Interviewing with the parents by the school nurse concerning the child; 3) classroom activities for the children with home assignments; and 4) a web-based self-test of type-2 diabetes risk by parents, with follow-up in primary health care. The primary outcome is assessed as the difference between the intervention and the control group directly after the end of intervention at 6-months post baseline, and at follow-up 18 months post baseline, adjusted for baseline values. The outcome variables are the intake of unhealthy foods, unhealthy drinks, and healthy foods assessed by a newly developed method using photo-based dietary assessment. The secondary outcomes are physical activity and time spent sedentary measured by accelerometry, and measured BMI and waist circumference. Hypothetical mediator variables are parental self-efficacy and parenting practices regarding diet and physical activity assessed by questionnaire. Process evaluation will be performed through interviews and questionnaires to study how well the programme was implemented in terms of dose, fidelity, acceptability and feasibility. The programme is in line with the latest evidence regarding the prevention of childhood obesity: that schools should be a focal point of prevention efforts, interventions should involve multiple components, and include the home environment. If effective, it will fill a large knowledge gap concerning evidence-based health promotion practice within school health services to prevent overweight and obesity and in the long term reduce social inequalities in health.
Families First Home Visiting Program (Families First) is a parenting support program anchored on children's rights that gives parents clear guidance on child development, parenting, and positive discipline practices. Families First is an adaptation of the Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting (PDEP) Program for the West Java context. This trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Families First. This is a pragmatic, delayed-entry, parallel-group, stratified, cluster-randomized controlled trial in a real-world setting. Twenty rural and urban villages in the Cianjur district of Indonesia, involving 720 caregivers of children up to 7 years of age, are randomized to two parallel arms. Villages receive either a parenting program consisting of 10 group sessions and 4 home visits or the standard community health and social services. After completion of the trial period, the delayed group is offered the program. The primary outcome is self-reported frequency of corporal/physical and emotional punishment. The secondary outcomes are indicators of involved and positive parenting. Concurrent process evaluation and qualitative research are conducted to identify program satisfaction and facilitators and barriers to the implementation. Outcome data are collected immediately after the intervention and six months later. The results will be used to inform a violence prevention strategy in West Java and possible scale up in of the intervention in Indonesia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a family counseling intervention, entitled "Tuko Pamoja" (Translation "We are Together" in Kiswahili). The intervention, delivered by lay counselors and through existing community social structures, is expected to improve family functioning and individual mental health among members. The sample includes highly distressed families with a child or adolescent (ages 8-17) exhibiting emotional or behavioral concerns; as such, particular emphasis is placed on adolescent-focused outcomes, including mental health and well-being.
The aim of this novel health services research proposal is to assess the longer-term outcomes, to 6 months corrected age, of an adapted Family Integrated Care (FICare) model of care for moderate and late preterm infants admitted to a Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This follow-up study will enroll infants at 6 months CA (± 1 month) recruited to the original FICare randomized controlled trial (clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT02879799) from four level II NICU sites; two intervention and two control.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI), provided soon after a violent traumatic event, in producing significant and sustained reduction in PTSS among assault injured youth.
