Filter by:In the setting of naloxone standing orders, this study will assess if direct outreach with a web-based "Naloxone Navigator 1.0" to patients prescribed chronic opioid therapy (COT) changes opioid risk behaviors, increases naloxone uptake, and increases knowledge about overdose and naloxone
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.
The proposed project will provide data concerning dating and sexual interactions that occur on Fort Bragg, North Carolina, in addition to piloting a sexual assault prevention program through the use of social norms and bystander intervention concepts. The investigators will be able to use data and feedback gained from this research to help reduce rates of sexual assault in the military by providing a sexual assault prevention program tailored to at risk male Soldiers that can be disseminated across military posts.
To compare the effectiveness of 3 strategies to inform patients of their risks associated with misuse of opioid prescriptions after treatment in the ED from renal colic or musculoskeletal back pain. Randomization will be to 3 arms for the Randomized Practical Control Trial across 3 sites (A) standardized general risk information sheet only (B) standardized general risk information sheet plus a visual probabilistic risk tool (C) standardized sheet plus narrative enhanced probabilistic risk tool.
The purpose of this randomized controlled intervention study at the STI outpatient clinic of Amsterdam is to answer the following questions : Does a personalised behaviour intervention comprising of targeted in-depth screening on mental health problems and drug use and, in case identified, subsequent linkage to care increase help seeking behaviour, and decrease risk behaviour in MSM who are at high risk for STIs and HIV?
Patients with co-occurring health risk behaviors suffer greater morbidity, disability, and premature death. The Pro-Change Population Health Solution (PCPHS) is a suite of mobile tools designed to assist patients and primary care providers (PCPs) in applying evidence-based principles of health behavior change to reduce four cancer risk behaviors—cigarette smoking, risky drinking, noncompliance with national guidelines for physical activity, and overweight and obesity—and depression among at-risk patients. The intervention is based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM, the "stage model") and includes computer-tailored interventions and text messages for patients and a clinical dashboard for providers. The efficacy of the intervention will be assessed in a cluster-randomized trial involving 780 patients recruited from 12 federally qualified health centers randomly assigned to intervention or usual care.
Gay Poz Sex (GPS) is an HIV prevention and sexual health promotion program for HIV-positive gay and bisexual men, which takes place in a group counselling format. All participants provided written informed consent at the outset of the study. Eligible participants filled out a 1-hour computer-assisted self-interview questionnaire. Subsequently, participants attended seven 2-hour group sessions, led by 2 peer facilitators, who were HIV-positive gay men, in groups of 5-8 men. Immediately and 3 months following the completion of the GPS program, participants were scheduled to attend a 1-hour session to complete the same questionnaire package. Participants received an honorarium and a list of community resources, including mental health or substance use counseling services, at the end of each assessment. Participants also participated in a program evaluation interview at the 3-month follow-up assessment.
This study tests a 12-episode Internet-based, guide enhanced Love, Sex, & Choices (LSC) HIV prevention soap opera video series for smartphones or computers, in a randomized clinical trial among predominately at-risk African American urban women. The following hypotheses are to be tested: 1) The LSC treatment arm will show lower unprotected sex risk, meaning lower frequency of unprotected sex (vaginal + anal) with high risk partners at 6 months post intervention compared to an attention control arm 2) The LSC treatment arm will show higher participation in HIV testing at 6 months post intervention compared to the control. If effective, this video intervention could be rapidly implemented and brought to scale at low cost via the Internet, widely reaching young urban women with the goal of reducing HIV risk behavior and increasing HIV testing.
The Safe, Healthy, Adolescent Relationships and Peers study seeks to understand some of the factors that contribute to the behaviors and health of teen girls, such as girl's friendships, their dating behaviors, their risk-taking behaviors, and their knowledge about how to make healthy choices. This study will inform us on ways to help teen girls engage in safe and healthy relationships and adjustment.
The purpose of the study is to examine the comparative effectiveness of a computerized brief intervention vs. an in-person brief intervention delivered by a nurse in reducing marijuana, alcohol, and sex risk behaviors in adolescents receiving services in school-based health centers.
