An Evaluation of the Yes You Can... Make Smart Choices Curriculum

Start date: October 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The New Jersey Physicians Advisory Group (NJPAG) previously created the Yes You Can…Make Smart Choices! (YYC…MSC!) program with the goal of preventing teen pregnancy and enhancing character development in youth. YYC…MSC! is a fully developed intervention that NJPAG has experience implementing that is grounded in a theoretical framework with promising evidence of effectiveness. However, this intervention has not yet undergone a rigorous evaluation with a control or comparison group. This evaluation aims to conduct a randomized control trial (RCT) to determine the program's effectiveness. This evaluation will focus on the entire PREIS planned intervention, YYC…MSC!. The intervention will be implemented in 13 Newark Public Schools in New Jersey, including Weequahic High School and Newark School of Global Studies. Findings from this study will expand the evidence base on adolescent pregnancy prevention through this innovative program. After the study, findings will be disseminated to encourage program interest, support, and adoption in real-world service systems or communities, including schools. The primary research question is, "What is the effect of the 2-week YYC…MSC! program on 9th grade students in Northeast urban school districts' reports of engaging in sexual intercourse 12-months after the pre-survey compared to those that do not receive the program?" The outcome for the primary research questions is sexual intercourse in the last 3 months and the domain is sexual activity.

The Effect of Training Provided According to the Health Promotion Model on Healthy Lifestyles and Self-efficacy in Adolescents

Start date: April 2, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study in a pretest-posttest design to determine the effect of training provided according to the health promotion model concerning the factors which affect healthy lifestyle in adolescents, on health promotion behavior. It is aimed for adolescents to take health responsibility by increasing their self-efficacy levels and make it a part of their lives. The sample will consist of 72 adolescents (36 in intervention group, 36 in control group) at significance level of 5%, power of 80% and effect size of 0.5-0.75 in a population including 45.737 adolescents aged 14 to 17 years in schools affiliated with Kahramanmaraş Provincial Directorate for National Education. In the first stage of determining the sample, two schools will be determined by drawing lots among the schools affiliated to the Provincial Directorate of National Education and the researcher will assign adolescents, who meet the inclusion criteria, to intervention (n=36) and control (n=36) groups from the first and second schools, respectively using the stratified sampling method and the random numbers table. The inclusion criteria will be being aged 14 to 17 years, speaking Turkish, having parental permission, having no mental or neurological disability and having no chronic illness. In the study, the randomization will be conducted according to age, gender, body mass index, department, and family type. The Adolescent and Parent Information Form (Socio-demographic Characteristics), the Adolescent Lifestyle Profile (ALP) and the Self-efficacy Scale (SES) will be used to gather the data. The data will be collected online from 72 adolescents receiving education in the two high schools affiliated with the Provincial Directorate for National Education between 14 February 2022 and 15 May 2022. The first measurements and trainings will be conducted online. In the first measurement, there will primarily be a meeting activity and then the data collection forms (Socio-demographic Characteristics, the ALS, the SES) will be collected online from the intervention and the control group via e-mail or social media applications. Following the first measurement, the first session will be conducted in the intervention group. As of the first session, a total of six sessions, one in every week will be conducted. In the final session where the applications finish, the posttest-1 including the data collection forms (Socio-demographic Characteristics, the ALS, the SES) will be used in the intervention and control groups. The posttest-2 including the same forms will be applied to the groups one month later. A preliminary application will be performed online in 10 adolescents who remain outside the sample and meet the inclusion criteria. According to the results obtained from the preliminary application, necessary arrangements will be made on the forms and the session and the application will be finalized. A total of 6 sessions on physical activity, nutrition, substance abuse, sexual life, check-up, accidents and injuries will be organized for the adolescents in the intervention group. The sessions will be organized every other week. Each session will be conducted in three stages. First Stage: The researcher will provide training on the subject of the session for nearly 15 minutes. Second Stage: The researcher will show animation film (nearly 3 to 5 minutes) developed by him/her related to the session. Third Stage: Groups of six will be created for the Philips 66 technique application and a spokesman will be chosen. Each group will have an online meeting and discuss the session subject in six minutes under the administration of the researcher. The spokesman of each group will present the discussion outcome in the big group meeting at the end of the discussion. The researcher will summarize the subject after the presentation of each spokesman and terminate the session. The nursing intervention according to the SGM will not be performed in the control groups. However, the adolescents will continue their routine training.

Impact Evaluation of CyberRwanda: A Digital Health Intervention for Adolescents

Start date: February 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This protocol describes an evaluation of the CyberRwanda program, a digital health tool designed with and for adolescents in Rwanda, with a focus on successful futures, broadly, and family planning and reproductive health, more specifically. CyberRwanda is a tablet-based system that provides information on family planning and reproductive health through a set of vignettes. The program also allows users to order and purchase contraceptives, with pick up at nearby participating pharmacies. The program will be implemented in schools in eight districts in Rwanda. The investigators will conduct a 3-arm, cluster, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of CyberRwanda on three primary outcomes: uptake of a contraceptive method, initiation of childbearing, and HIV testing. The investigators will compare two implementation models (facilitated and self-service) to a control arm at the school (cluster) level. The study will enroll 60 schools (20 per arm) and 100 students per school, and follow students for 24 months.

The Seattle Social Development Project: An Implementation of the Raising Healthy Children Intervention

SSDP
Start date: September 1, 1981
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The Seattle Social Development Project (SSDP) included a three-part intervention for teachers, parents, and students in grades 1 to 6. It was a universal prevention program that was tested in elementary schools serving children from high crime urban areas. The intervention trained teachers in proactive classroom management, interactive teaching, and cooperative learning. SSDP also offered training to parents in child behavior management, academic support, and skills to reduce risks for drug use. It provided training to children designed to affect interpersonal problem solving and refusal skills. These interventions were designed to reduce risks and increase protection at the individual, peer, family and school levels. The package of interventions was guided theoretically by the social development model. We hypothesized that training teachers to teach and manage their classrooms in ways that promote bonding to school, training parents to manage their families in ways that promote bonding to family and to school, and providing children with training in skills for social interaction would positively affect children's attitudes toward school, behavior at school, and academic achievement. These methods further sought to reduce children's opportunities and rewards for antisocial involvement. We thought that these changes would, in turn, set children on a different developmental trajectory observable in higher school achievement and fewer health-risk behaviors later in adolescence.

Reproductive Axis Maturation in the Early Post-Menarchal Years

Start date: December 19, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: Most adult women with irregular periods of unknown cause report symptoms dating back to early adolescence. This study aims to learn how girls' periods change in the 2 years after their first period. We are also looking at girls who may have a condition called PCOS. This will help researchers learn what healthy puberty looks like and how they can spot signs of hormone problems early on. Objective: To learn how long it takes girls to develop regular menstrual cycles after their first period. Eligibility: Healthy girls ages 8-14 who either (1) haven't had their first period but show signs of puberty, such as breast development and hair in the genital area; or (2) had their first period in the past 6 months Girls at risk for PCOS age 8-14 who have a mom or sister with PCOS Girls with irregulat menstrual cycles age 11-17.5 To compare with the girls, we are looking at women >=18-34 years old with PCOS, Healthy women >= 18-34 years old without PCOS Design: Both parents or guardians must allow their daughter to participate. They must attend all study visits with her. Participants will first be screened by phone. Those who qualify will be screened in person. They will have a physical exam. They will give blood and urine samples. They will have an ultrasound of their abdomen. They will fill out questionnaires. They will sit in a BOD POD for 6 minutes: This is an egg- shaped machine that takes body measurements. They have the option to provide DNA samples. Participants will have sets of visits at home or at the clinic about every 6 months. The number of visits in each set will depend on their menstrual cycle. Then they will have a final visit. Visits will include repeats of the screening tests. There are additional parts that participants may choose to be involved in depending on how involved they want to be. At home, participants will collect their urine daily to measure hormones. They will keep a diary of their periods. Adults: Women with known PCOS will complete the same Screening Visit as the girls and will collect dried urine specimens at home for 8 weeks; The Healthy control women group will complete the same Screening Visit as the girls and collect dried urine specimens at home for 2 menstrual cycles.
