Filter by:Family-involved treatments for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) hold considerable promise to improve engagement and compliance with treatment and improve treatment outcomes. Currently, however, these treatments are time-intensive and difficult to learn and to integrate with on-going clinical treatment. Consistent with the general trend toward briefer treatments, we propose to develop a brief, 3-session, family-involved treatment that can be incorporated into a variety of other AUD treatment modalities. If successful, the treatment may increase the efficiency and effectiveness of AUD treatment.
The Parent-Child Assistance Program (PCAP) helps mothers who have used alcohol, opioids, or other drugs during pregnancy and their children through the work of highly trained, closely supervised case managers. Case managers work closely with mothers over the course of three years, meeting the mothers in their own homes when possible, to help them to set goals and take advantage of available resources. The primary aims of PCAP include: (1) assisting mothers in obtaining substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and staying in recovery, (2) linking mothers to community resources that will help them build and maintain healthy, independent family lives for themselves and their children, and (3) preventing future drug and alcohol use during pregnancy. This study brings PCAP to Oklahoma (the state with the highest incarceration rate for women, where most enter the criminal justice system for drug charges) for the first time. This five-year project includes 200 women who will enroll in the study and be randomly assigned to the treatment (100 women) or control group (100 women). The intervention (i.e., PCAP services) will take place over a three-year period at two sites: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Tulsa, Oklahoma. This evaluation will measure participants' substance use, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment outcomes, and a host of other well-being outcomes-including but not limited to subsequent substance-exposed births, use of public assistance, education, use of family planning methods, and employment-to evaluate the effects of PCAP services. Among these, the investigators have identified four key outcomes: (1) the mother is on a reliable method of birth control, (2) abstinence for six months, (3) child custody (i.e., placement of children in foster care and/or with kinship providers), and (4) criminal justice involvement.
Brief behavioral intervention designed from the guidelines of the Theory of Planned Action (TAP) of Ajzen (1991). It has the general objective of reducing the intention and hazardous and harmful consumption of alcohol in young university students in the first year of their undergraduate degree. The following specific objectives are considered: (a) Impact on the personal and descriptive norm by modifying the perception of the actual use of alcohol and its level of acceptance among the population of university students. (b) Modify attitudes towards consumption by reducing the value attributed to the expectations associated with risky alcohol consumption. (c) Increase perceived behavioral control and self-efficacy to avoid alcohol consumption behavior by: establishing a goal, consumption planning, and increase assertive communication.(d) Reduce the negative consequences of the use of alcohol in different situations of young people through pleasant healthy activities. e) Increase the intention to seek help for alcohol-related problems.The intervention will be developed through 3 phases. The first phase corresponds to the pre-intervention evaluation, the second phase concerns the two intervention sessions and the third phase is the post-intervention evaluation. Hypothesis: The mean alcohol consumption will be lower in young adults with hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption in the experimental group who received a brief online intervention compared to the control group.
A prospective cohort study to evaluate the association between various triggers encountered in daily life and induction of atrial arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia and premature atrial contractions) with the use of long-term monitoring devices. The collected data of personalized triggers and risk factors will be used to define the individual phenotype of atrial arrhythmia.
The overarching goal of the proposed study is to provide information which can lead to effective implementation of cessation support in the care of smokers diagnosed with lung or head & neck cancer. To achieve these aims, the study propose to conduct a longitudinal cohort study of patients diagnosed with lung or head & neck cancer at the Hospices Civils de Lyon (SMALLHAN). Briefly, adult patients newly diagnosed with lung or head & neck cancer will be recruited at the time of diagnosis (announcement of diagnosis and consultation).
The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the limbic pallidum in participants with severe alcohol use disorder (AUD) who have advanced but compensated liver fibrosis.
This study has two phases: Phase 1 is to examine blood pressure, microvascular function, and sympathetic nerve activity in mid-life adult binge drinkers vs. alcohol abstainers/moderate drinkers. Phase 2 is to examine the effect of 8-week aerobic exercise training on blood pressure, microvascular function, and sympathetic nerve activity in mid-life adult binge drinkers
The overarching goal of the proposed project is to develop an innovative, online synchronous DV and AU prevention curriculum created specifically for SGMY (ages 15 to 18); conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess its feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and study procedures; identify preliminary outcomes of the intervention; and ensure that the intervention is working equally well for SGMY of color.
This is an early-Phase II human laboratory trial using a randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging design to investigate the effects of semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, on alcohol-related outcomes in adults with alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Early alcohol socialization occurs within the family. This multi-level, high-reach, low-intensity intervention to prevent early alcohol use capitalizes on the influence of providers, immunization timing, and pediatric guidelines that advise healthcare providers to give anticipatory guidance about early alcohol use. In conjunction, the intervention capitalizes on the power of technology to reinforce and expand upon pediatrician messages. The study seeks to understand the feasibility and effectiveness of a pilot intervention designed to prevent alcohol socialization through education of parents of rising 6th grade students.
