Filter by:To utilize positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to characterize the distribution of (aka [11C]APP311at the Yale PET Center) in cortical and subcortical areas in experienced meditators compared to non-meditating controls.
The study aims to randomize 250 participants to 1 of 2 arms: a.) an Active Intervention Group (based on the Look AHEAD* ILI) or b.) a Comparison Group (based on the Look AHEAD DSE Comparison group) to test the hypothesis that a multicomponent, multilevel behavioral weight loss intervention (Active Intervention Group) adapted for underserved groups and delivered through Health Information Technology (Health IT) tools via the Electronic Health Record (EHR) patient portal, will result in significantly greater weight loss 12 months after enrollment compared to the Comparison Group. *The Look AHEAD study was a multi-center, randomized clinical trial involving overweight and obese persons with type 2 diabetes, aimed to determine the effects on the cardiovascular outcomes of an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) for weight loss, in comparison to the diabetes support and education intervention (DSE).
A randomized controlled trial enrolling 123 parent-infant dyads (English or Spanish speaking) comparing a virtual video Teaching Kitchen Outreach Program (TKO) with weekly grocery delivery (comparator group), to Healthier Families, COVID Edition (intervention group) which includes TKO plus a 12-week virtual health coaching intervention aimed at supporting family goal setting and behavior change including topics such as nutrition and physical activity.
Peripheral arterial disease is a common, under-treated and under-researched issue. The vast majority of these patients often have multiple issues which can be improved with targeted behavioural change interventions. NICE has recommended that supervised exercise is the mainstay of treatment for intermittent claudication (ischaemic muscle pain on walking due to blocked and narrowed arteries). However, in the vast majority of UK hospitals, this isn't undertaken, and with the issues around group-based sessions and repeated visits to hospitals, this treatment option is not available with the coronavirus pandemic. This is a single-centre randomised control trial in 60 patients with peripheral arterial disease attending the Freeman Hospital. Patients will be randomised to either an enhanced behavioural change intervention targeting multiple health behaviours vs a simple walking intervention. Also, some patients will be involved in focus groups to understand their experience of the intervention and whether it is feasible and acceptable, allowing changes to be made to the program. The primary outcome will be to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the program. We will also be assessing multiple secondary outcomes including functional capacity, quality of life, sleep quality and smoking and alcohol reduction.
This is a randomised controlled experiment in the form of a web based survey study which randomly exposes participants to different forms of public health messages, after which participants will be assessed on their intent to take up the COVID-19 vaccine, recommend the vaccine, and also willingness to propagate the exposed message.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a physical activity tracking program called FitEx would be useful to endometrial cancer survivors. Each interested endometrial cancer survivor will recruit 1 to 5 additional friends/family members to participate in the intervention with them, forming a team. Each team will be randomized to FitExEC (control group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors, or FitExEC+yoga (experimental group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors plus yoga cueing. FitExEC is based on FitEx, a program used to encourage adults to improve their fruit and vegetable intake while increasing their physical activity. FitEx works by having participants join a team with their friends and loved ones, so they can support one another in meeting their goals. In this study, teams of endometrial cancer survivors/support members will receive watches that track how much they walk. Each day, participants record how much exercise, how many fruits, and how many vegetables they've eaten that day for a total of 8 weeks. Participants will be encouraged to attend a virtual session 15 minutes per week that will focus on 1-mile worth of exercise points (all control) or 15 minutes of yoga (all experimental) followed by 15 minutes of support (endometrial cancer survivors only [control and experimental survivors in different groups]). Participation in the study lasts roughly 10 weeks, and participants will be followed for 6 months afterward. The investigators think that FitEx may help people with endometrial cancer improve their daily physical activity and slowly improve their health and quality of life. The investigators hypothesize this intervention is feasible and acceptable to Carilion Clinic endometrial cancer survivors.
The Women Lift Safely! Intervention study aims to increase safe carrying behavior to reduce health risks of heavy lifting in a rural area of Nepal (i.e. reducing weight and using safe lifting techniques). The study's specific aims are to: 1) Test whether a psychological intervention that promotes self-efficacy can promote women's use of safe carrying behavior effectively compared to an information only control condition. (2) Test whether including a social partner in the intervention is more effective than an individual psychological intervention.
Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of motivational interview on daily living activities on physical adaptation and quality of life in elderly people who underwent total knee replacement.it was aimed to examine the effect of motivational interview on daily living activities on physical adaptation and quality of life in elderly people who underwent total knee replacement. Design: The research was planned as a pretest, posttest, randomized controlled study in order to determine the effect of the motivational interviews on the life quality and physical activity of old patients. H1: After total knee replacement, the target for daily living activities is higher than the patients who applied the hand and those who did not. H2: Patients with targeted daily living activities with total knee replacement begin to get used to it and begin earlier than those who do not.
This study will test the effectiveness of a phone-based big sister/big brother program designed to provide health information and support, reduce school dropouts, and promote safer relationships. The program's goal is to create a phone-based safe space, to ensure adolescents remained connected with access to support and health information during COVID lockdowns.
This is a field trial with a randomized pre-test post-test control group design. This trial is the second phase of an exploratory mixed methods research. Prior to this trial, a qualitative study through in-depth interviews to tour guides from 11 language divisions and also policy makers of Indonesian Tour Guide Association Bali branch (HPI Bali). The education model for tour guides were developed based on the integration of theory of planned behavior (TPB) and identity theory. This educational model is expected to improve the behavior of tour guides in providing travel health information to tourists they serve, which is currently still lacking. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the measurement of behavior can not be conducted. Therefore, this trial aims to test the efficacy of the comprehensive education model to improve the indirect and direct determinants of the behavior namely attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, role identity, actual behavioral control and behavioral intention. The research hypothesis are: 1. The comprehensive travel health education model improves the attitude of tour guides towards providing travel health information to tourists? 2. The comprehensive travel health education model improves the subjective norms of tour guides towards providing travel health information to tourists? 3. The comprehensive travel health education model improves the perceived behavioral control of tour guides in providing travel health information to tourists? 4. The comprehensive travel health education model improves the role identity of tour guides as a travel health promoter for tourists? 5. The comprehensive travel health education model improves the actual behavioral control of tour guides in providing travel health information to tourists? 6. The comprehensive travel health education model improves the intention of tour guides to provide travel health information to tourists?
