Filter by:Background: Frailty is a complex multi-dimensional state of increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes and is usually associated with older age but there is growing evidence of accelerated ageing and frailty in non-geriatric populations, including those experiencing socio-economic deprivation and extreme social exclusion, such as people experiencing homelessness. Addiction, as a coping mechanism for prior trauma, is common among people who are homeless and can have a gendered dimension. Women experiencing homelessness and addiction have unique needs which require a gendered approach. The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of an exercise intervention to target the known physical functioning deficits and frailty which this population experiences. Methods: This mixed-methods study will explore physical functioning deficits and frailty in women experiencing homelessness and addiction, using a bespoke test battery and an exercise intervention. Physical function (10m Walk Test, 2 Minute Walk Test, Single Leg Stance Test, Chair Stand Test, hand grip dynamometry), frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale and the SHARE-FI) and nutritional status (Mini-Nutritional Status), pain (Numerical Pain Rating Scale) and quality of life (SF 12-V2) will be evaluated. The intervention will involve a 3-times weekly exercise programme with protein supplementation for 10 weeks. Following this, qualitative interviews, which will be thematically analysed using Braun & Clarke methodology, will be conducted. This study will be conducted in Dublin from February to July 2024. Discussion: Little is kn own about frailty-focussed interventions in women experiencing homelessness and addiction. This proposed study will help to increase the knowledge base regarding the physical health burden and frailty experienced by this extremely vulnerable population and will deliver a targeted intervention with a gendered dimension to mitigate its affects. The findings of this research will help narrow this research gap and will guide clinicians and policy makers to implement unique gender-based treatment strategies for this population.
Objectives This study is designed to investigate the following objectives To manage the social media addiction in order to improve lifestyle, attitude and family relations of the individuals and explore related psychological problems which can arise because of this addiction. To explore the effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in the management of social media addiction in individuals which is decreasing the health of their lifestyle, attitude and family bonding. To explain how abusive use of social media can increase the risk of psychological and behavioural problems.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether using a web-based intervention is feasible, acceptable, and helpful for people who engage in hazardous alcohol use and want to cut down or quit.
This non-randomized cluster-controlled trial examines the effectiveness of the digitalized and updated version of the It´s Up To You - program, a universal school-based prevention intervention for drug initiation and use targeting youth aged between 12 and 17 years.
The study aims to design an integrated model which combined self-initiated online learning and personalized interactive behavioral support delivered via WeChat for university students to reduce internet addiction level.
Smoking Prevention Program is a pilot exploratory study with a standardized curriculum based on the Tobacco Prevention Toolkit from Stanford University and translated into Polish by the members of Students Scientific Association of Oncology at Wroclaw Medical University. The program will assess the effectiveness of a school-based smoking prevention curricula keeping children as never smokers and test the feasibility of engaging medical students and teachers in implementing and evaluating a validated program on smoking prevention within the Polish School System. The research protocols, methods and data collection instruments of a standardized classroom based valid tobacco prevention program from Stanford University will be used for the study. The smoking prevention program is centred on drug resistance, personal self-management and increasing social skills. The program increases knowledge and uses coaching and practice to provide students with the skills to resist social pressures around cigarette use. The secondary outcome of this study is to determine the change in attitudes by Polish Medical Student regarding Cancer Prevention Research. During Smoking Prevention Program workshops, the 5-Session Curriculum for primary schools will be translated, applied and evaluated for polish students. This community-based pilot will engage medical students, the local school district and the local health authority. The Educational program meets the requirements set by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Guidelines for School Health Programs to Prevent Tobacco Use and Addiction. Following parental consent, the program will be implemented with all 7th and 8th grade students (children age 12-15 years) from the Elementary School in Tyniec Mały. This project is supported by the Head of Lower Silesian Oncology Center, the Head of Department of Oncology of Wroclaw Medical University, the Health and Social Affairs Department of City of Wroclaw and under the patronage of the Lower Silesia Governor's Office, the Polish Society of Oncology, the Polish Society of Public Health, the Lower Silesian Department of Polish Society of Cardiology and the European Association for Cancer Education (EACE). Smoking Prevention Program is funded by the READS Grant Program from the American Association for Cancer Education (AACE).
this R01 project titled "Family-focused vs. Drinker-focused Smartphone Interventions to Reduce Drinking-related Consequences of COVID-19" is a Hybrid II RCT/implementation study to modify and test two of our alcohol smartphone interventions to address the fallout from COVID. We propose a three-arm RCT comparing a smartphone control group vs. a drinker-focused intervention vs. a family-focused intervention. All study arms recruit dyads comprising a person who drinks and a family partner.
The purpose of this study is to expand access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in specialty addiction programs in Washington State. Sixty-four addiction treatment programs will participate in an adaptive implementation strategy trial that uses a stagewise implementation-to-target (stepped "care" type) approach whereby organizations engage in increasingly intensive implementation strategies as needed. Organizations are moved to a follow-up/sustainment arm once they have met the implementation targets described below. The design also includes an external comparator arm, which consists of 510 addiction treatment programs that are not participating in the study and will mimic as study controls. The sequence of implementation strategies are: 1. Enhanced Monitoring and Feedback 2. NIATx/MAT Academy 3. Randomization to either NIATx Internal Facilitation or NIATx External Facilitation 4. Assignment to NIATx External Facilitation if outcome targets are not achieved in the NIATx Internal Facilitation arm Implementation targets are: 1. Reach - At least 75% of patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) receiving MOUD for three consecutive months 2. Adoption - At least 1 integrated MOUD prescriber actively prescribing MOUD 3. Implementation - a total score ≥ 4 on the Integrating Medications for Addiction Treatment (IMAT) Index. Contextual moderators and mediators of performance on target outcomes as a function of the implementation strategy step will be examined, as will the costs associated with participation in the sequence of implementation strategies.
In France, alcohol consumption is the second most common cause of so-called preventable cancers after tobacco. Since 2014, in the "Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur" (PACA) region, the association Santé! has been developing an innovative intervention to support people suffering from alcohol-related addiction. This intervention, called IACA! must therefore be evaluated on a larger scale before conclusions about its effectiveness can be drawn from a comparative trial. This evaluation requires significant human and material resources. It is therefore recommended to first assess the transferability of IACA! in other care centers in a pilot study.
Interventions to disrupt memory reconsolidation have held promise for the treatment of stress- and anxiety-related disorders. In the present study, the investigators will examine whether an intervention based on these principles, called memory updating, could be adapted for reward-seeking behaviors. To test this, non-treatment seeking tobacco smokers will be exposed to smoking cues and/or stress, two stimuli known to trigger smoking. It is predicted that exposure to a stress task will enhance the cues' motivational salience and yield greater susceptibility to the memory updating procedure. As an add-on, the investigators will examine COVID-associated changes in substance use and whether participants in the memory updating groups might be more resilient to these effects. It is predicted that the changes in substance use will depend on whether the substances are used primarily in social settings.
