Filter by:This study involves a long-term outcome study of the Catholic Health Initiative St. Joseph's Children (CHI SJC) program using a randomized control study. The purpose of this study is to determine the short-term and long-term impact and effectiveness of the CHI SJC program. The CHI SJC program has not been studied to determine program effectiveness. The investigators intend to follow families and their children until the children in the study graduate from high-school or turn 19 years of age. The study, as a template, uses the eight outcome domains listed and described in the Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness website (http://homvee.acf.hhs.gov/outcomes.aspx). These eight domains are: - Child development and school readiness - Family economic self-sufficiency - Maternal health - Reductions in child maltreatment - Child health - Linkages and referrals - Positive parenting practices - Reductions in juvenile delinquency, family violence, and crime The investigators expect to observe significant differences among the two groups with respect to the primary outcome domains listed. The investigators expect study group members randomized to the CHI SJC program will perform better on the eight outcome domains. Other hypotheses include: Other Hypotheses: Hypothesis 1. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with higher quality functioning and better child health and well-being. Hypothesis 2. Randomization to CHI SJC will result in more connections to community resources. Hypothesis 3. Randomization to CHI SJC will result in improved indications of maternal health and positive parenting practices. Hypothesis 4. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with higher measures of family economic self-sufficiency. Hypothesis 5. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with increased school readiness and school progress and attainment. Hypothesis 6. Randomization to CHI SJC will be associated with reductions in juvenile delinquency, family violence, and crime. The study will collect outcome data in the same way and, at the same time, from treatment and control group members. Data collection will primarily be comprised of a set of self-report questionnaires and a review of administrative records that target the outcome domains described earlier. Study group members will be assessed at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 3 years, 5 years, 8 years, 12 years, 15 years, and at high-school graduation or 19 years of age.
Determining the Effect of Street Play Intervention on Children's Play Tendencies and Social Problem Solving Levels: I Learn to Solve My Problems by Playing Project
The goal of this a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a nature-based intervention called Open Sky School to reduce mental health problems among elementary school children. More specifically a two-arm clustered randomized controlled trial will be conducted in elementary schools across Québec, Canada. Following informed consent by teachers, parents and students, schools will be randomly assigned 1:1 to the intervention or the control group with a total of 2500 6th grade students and 100 teachers expected to participate. The primary and secondary research questions are as follows. The primary research question : - Is the intervention effective in reducing mental health problems in children from pre-to-post test (Social Behavior Questionnaire: self and teacher reports) ? The secondary research questions: - Is the intervention effective in improving children's depression, positive and negative affect, nature connectedness. eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors ? - Is the intervention effective in improving teachers' well-being and affect ? - Are the benefits to children sustained benefits at 3 months follow-up ? - Is the primary question moderated by child's sex, child's disability status, the green space of neighbourhoods, the school's socio-economic position and teacher's experience wtih outdoor education ? The intervention will take place outdoors in a green-space (2 hours per week for 12 weeks) and include a toolkit of 30 activities to foster well-being (e.g. mindfulness) and academic competencies (e.g. mathematics). The control group will engage in teaching-as-usual and will be provided with the activity toolkit after the trial has been conducted. Questionnaires will be administered to students before, immediately after and 3 months after the intervention in both the control and intervention groups. Teachers in both groups will complete questionnaires before and immediately after the intervention.
In this project, the investigators aim to test the effectiveness of a mobile health (mHealth) system as a standalone versus coach-assisted intervention with the goal of achieving reach and scalability. Parents of children (ages 5-8) with disruptive behaviors (N = 324 subjects) will be randomly assigned to Group 1 (standalone app), Group 2 (coach-assisted app), or Group 3 (control app).
Induction of anesthesia can be distressing both for children and their parents. Nonpharmacological behavioral interventions can reduce the anxiety of children without significant adverse effects as seen with sedative drugs. has not been documented. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of children's preference on parental selection during the induction of anesthesia on children and parental anxiety during the perioperative period.
This randomized controlled microtrial, not just focus on parental (and child) responsiveness but also on an underlying physiological mechanism hypothesized to contribute to heightened susceptibility to parenting interventions.
This study was conducted on the effects of visual and/or auditory distraction techniques applied to children aged 7-12 years who applied to Çanakkale Mehmet Akif Ersoy State Hospital Gynecology and Pediatric Emergency Service during invasive procedures (blood sampling, intravenous access or intramuscular injection in the deltoid region). Kaleidoscope, music concert, virtual reality glasses) is a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of children on pain, anxiety and fear of medical procedures.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of a time-limited (i.e., 18 weeks) community health worker (CHW) intervention, referred to as the Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) plus natural helper (NH) model, on treatment engagement, retention, and child and caregiver outcomes.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of needless injection (comfort in ject) on child behavior and its effect on adjacent oral mucosa and soft tissue in children during local anesthesia injection in comparison to the conventional injection technique
