Filter by:The Collaborative Open Research Initiative Study (CORIS) is a groundbreaking international research endeavor aimed at exploring vital topics within the field of health professions education. At its core, CORIS embodies the spirit of inclusivity by opening its doors to contributors from all corners of the globe, putting the power of research into the hands of the global community and fostering an environment of open collaboration and meaningful contribution. We invite anyone and everyone to join as collaborators and suggest questions for inclusion in the survey, ensuring that the research process is enriched by diverse perspectives. As a collaborator, you will not only have the opportunity to actively engage in survey design, question formulation, and the entire research process from start to finish, but also gain the prospect of achieving valuable publications, which may boost your professional career.
The focus of this study is the impact of usage of a mobile application to support problem-solving therapy on symptoms of anxiety, depression and substance use.
This is an observational, prospective case-control study evaluating the effects of an emergency department community health worker-peer recovery specialist program (PCHW), the Substance Misuse Assistance Response Team (SMART). Aims of this study are to 1) understand participant experiences working with a SMART PCHW and identify possible mechanisms for successful recovery linkage; 2) Evaluate SMART effectiveness on patient-centered outcomes, building recovery capital, and recovery linkage; 3) Evaluate SMART implementation and effectiveness on patient outcomes over time. Using a combination of surveys and data linkages to state administrative databases, study investigators will prospectively compare changes in addiction treatment engagement, recovery capital, health related social needs, acute care utilization, and death between people receiving a ED PCHW and those who do not. After consenting to study participation, participants will complete surveys at time of study enrollment and 3 and 6 months after their initial ED visit. Primary outcomes include engagement in addiction treatment, social services engagement, acute care utilization, and mortality will be assessed through linkages to state administrative databases.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective in preventing HIV infection among people who inject drugs (PWID) yet studies suggest that its use is low among this population which is particularly vulnerable to HIV infection. The criminal justice (CJ) system, at the intersection of increased risk of HIV infection and substance use, presents a unique opportunity to engage PWID in HIV prevention care that incudes PrEP. The study will characterize the facilitators and barriers to PrEP initiation, adherence and linkage to care among male PWID that are experiencing incarceration and develop the "PrEPare-for-Release" intervention to promote PrEP initiation, adherence and linkage to care upon release from incarceration into the community.
Aim of the study: In this study, the change in emotional intelligence will be assessed before and after group CBT sessions in male patients with substance use disorder in the inpatient department of the addiction unit at Mansoura University Hospital.
The clinical trial aims to conduct a feasibility, acceptability, and usability clinical trial of a modular CBT-based and technologically enhanced intervention for people with an SUD and recently enrolled in IOP, probe target engagement and change in clinical outcomes, and examine attrition rates in IOP. This study will enroll 40 adults who are currently enrolled in IOP, have a substance use disorder, and experience elevated anxiety. 20 individuals will be randomized to the experimental intervention, "Intervention for Managing Physical Reactions to Overwhelming Emotions" (IMPROVE), and 20 individuals will be randomized to the active control group, "Physical Health Education Treatment" (PHET). Participants will be asked to complete a baseline assessment of mood, substance use, and psychophysiology. Participants will then completed ecological momentary assessments (EMA) via smartphone technology 4 times a day for ~ 28 days (the day following the baseline assessment until the 3rd intervention session). Participants will complete one 45 minute - 1 hour intervention each week for 3 weeks (either the IMPROVE or PHET intervention, pending randomization). Following the last intervention session, participants will return to the lab to complete a post-intervention assessment that mirrors the baseline assessment and then complete follow-up surveys 1- and 3-months post intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if receiving Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD in massed format (multiple sessions weekly) is as effective as receiving it with sessions once per week among veterans with PTSD and substance use disorder in intensive outpatient substance use treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the massed format help participants complete and benefit from Prolonged Exposure in terms of PTSD symptoms? - Will it help participants reduce substance use? Participants who are in intensive substance use treatment will be asked to complete Prolonged Exposure with either weekly sessions or multiple sessions per week.
During the first funding period (1st FP) we investigated the impact of acute and chronic stress (Trier Social Stress Test, TSST) on Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT). Moreover, we developed a novel full transfer task that allows assessing both general and specific PIT to investigate whether specific PIT differs between alcohol use disorder (AUD) and control subjects. We found that our online version of TSST induced stress and thereby amplified PIT effects in participants. Preliminary analyses of the full transfer task indicate that AUD participants exhibit a stronger specific PIT effect compared to controls. Based on these findings, we want to assess the following aim for this study: Investigate the effect of experimentally induced social exclusion on alcohol-specific and general PIT effects in AUD and control participants.
The goal of this research is to leverage technology in primary care clinics to improve screening, brief intervention and referral to Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment, and treatment attendance by comparing 1. a text message-based screening, phone-based brief intervention, and referral to treatment by a remote care coordinator (m-SBIRT; intervention arm), versus 2. evidence-based, in-person Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT; Treatment As Usual (TAU); control arm). Primary Aim is to compare the efficacy of m-SBIRT to TAU in positive screens for substance use. Secondary Aim is to compare m-SBIRT to TAU on Substance Use Treatment Attendance.
Drama Therapy involves of the use of theatrical techniques (such as script development, acting exercises, improvisation, etc.) to help treat patients' mental illness and improve their functioning and overall sense of wellbeing. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a specific version of drama therapy for the treatment of patients suffering from both mental illness (such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc.) and one or more substance use disorders. The study will also assess participants feelings and thoughts about the drama therapy intervention (such as whether or not they enjoyed it and if/how they found it helpful). The drama therapy intervention will consist of one group drama therapy session per week, for a total of twelve weeks (i.e., total twelve sessions) followed by a single performance (with composition of the audience determined by unanimous agreement of the participants) of the dramatic work (script) produced by the participants during the course of the drama therapy intervention.
