Filter by:The goal of this project is to test the efficacy of a chatbot intervention for reducing HPV vaccine hesitancy among African American parents. An online experiment will be conducted to test the effectiveness of the chatbot intervention with African American parents. Results of this project will inform future communication interventions for reducing vaccine hesitancy among African American parents.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the 9vHPV vaccine in Chinese healthy male aged 9 to 45 years.
Anal cancer is a common cancer among men having sex with men (MSM). We will investigate increasing detection of anal canal tumors through self- or partner-palpation of the anal canal among MSM and trans persons. This study in Houston and Chicago will recruit a sample of 100 couples (i.e., 200 partners) and 600 single persons (one-half HIV-positive), aged ≥ 25 years, who will be taught to perform an ASE or ACE. After performing the exam in private, the individual's ASE and partner's ACE will then be compared with a clinician's DARE. The assessment will be done at each of two visits, spaced 6-months apart. One-half of persons will be randomized to a practice condition to assess how practice affects accuracy and retention of exam procedure. Our hypothesis is that both ASE and ACE at visit 1 will have ≥70% sensitivity and ≥90% specificity using the clinician DARE as the gold standard at each of two visits.
Study should determine if performing the less uncomfortable part of the exam (the perianal exam) results in less recalled discomfort if performed last vs. if performed first.
Patients with high trans-sphincteric anal fistula will be randomized to one of two equal group: group 1 will have drainage seton with mucosal advancement flap and group 2 will undergo external anal sphincter sparing seton
The goal of this study is to determine the effects of message framing (gain vs. loss) on African American parents' acceptance of the HPV vaccine and how such effects are moderated by parents' salient beliefs prior to message exposure. Participants are randomized into gain and loss conditions in which they view either gain-framed or loss-framed HPV vaccination messages. Key outcome variables include parents' attitudes and intentions toward vaccinating their children against HPV.
Questionnaire to be completed by patients coming for PET to identify the predictive factors of physiological hypermetabolism of the anal canal
The purpose of this research study is to find ways to screen for anal cancer among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender persons. This study will try to find out if persons will do annual anal cancer screening, what factors are associated with repeated screening, and how this affects a person's decision to have high-resolution anoscopy.
Background: In the United States, each year there are more than 30,000 cases of human papillomavirus (HPV) associated cancers. Some of these cancers are often incurable and are not improved by standard therapies. Researchers want to see if a new drug M7824, which targets and blocks a pathway that prevents the immune system from effectively fighting the cancer can shrink tumors in people with some HPV cancers. Objectives: To see if the drug M7824 causes tumors to shrink. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who have a cancer associated with HPV infection. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam. They will review their symptoms and how they perform normal activities. They will have body scans. They will give blood and urine samples. They will have a sample of their tumor tissue taken if one is not available. Participants will have an electrocardiogram to evaluate their heart. Then they will get the study drug through a thin tube in an arm vein. Participants will get the drug every 2 weeks for 26 times (1 year). This is 1 course. After the course, participants will be monitored but will not take the study drug. If their condition gets worse, they will start another course with the drug. This process can be repeated as many times as needed. Treatment will stop if the participant has bad side effects or the drug stops working. Throughout the study, participants will repeat some or all the screening tests. After participants stop taking the drug, they will have a follow-up visit and repeat some screening tests. They will get periodic follow-up phone calls.
The project aims to increase HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening through a web-based mobile health education program called, Wheel of Wellness (WoW) and a brief negotiated interview (BNI). The in-person BNI and WoW system will provide educational resources for participants and their families to learn more about HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening.
