Filter by:This project will investigate the Gottman 7 principle couple course (G7P) in the Norwegian setting offered at different sites and for different groups of the population. A control group of couples will serve as a baseline. The study will bring knowledge about the participants experiences with the G7P and the effectiveness of the course on improving the couple relationship.
The goal of this research is to explore cancer survivors' and their romantic partners' interest in a couples-based physical activity intervention and whether cancer-specific exercise education influences exercise beliefs and intentions.
This project will develop and pilot test a new smartphone-based system for AUD patients, their partners, and clinicians called PartnerCHESS. PartnerCHESS will integrate key features of ABCT and A-CHESS. PartnerCHESS will also include a Clinician Report to automatically alert clinicians of patients at risk of relapse and offer other information on how recovery is proceeding. The project has three specific aims: 1. Integrate A-CHESS with key features of ABCT to create PartnerCHESS to serve patients, partners, and clinicians. 2. Conduct a pilot test (a small randomized clinical trial) of PartnerCHESS to estimate effect size and refine the protocol, procedures, recruitment strategy, measurements, and operations for use in a large RCT. 3a. Decide whether to pursue an R01 application, and if so, 3b. plan for the R01.
Sub-Saharan African women continue to face socio-economic challenges and limited reproductive freedoms, which diminishes their ability to exercise agency and choice in their lives and their environment. The goal of this study is to generate rigorous scientific evidence on empowering women individually and in households through a cluster randomized control trial. The trial will test the efficacy of a multi-sectoral program targeting three critical domains of female empowerment through gender socialization education, counseling and improved access to family planning, financial literacy among couples in Ibadan, Nigeria. The innovation in this approach is the focus on creating a supportive intra-familial environment to accelerate progress towards female empowerment, not just with the multi-sectoral intervention, but also by targeting both partners of couples, individually and together. It is hoped that there will be a shift of broader community norms by building the capacity of study couples to transfer their newly acquired knowledge and skills to other couples in their community, thereby creating a ripple of change.
Between March 2016 and March 2017, we performed a large retrospective, non-interventional, single-center cohort study and measured 25(OH)D3 plasma levels prior to ovarian stimulation in couples who underwent IVF/ICSI.And we analysed the correlation of vitamin D status and reproductive capacity .
The investigators are interested in typical couple interactions and health behaviors. In particular, the investigators are interested in different ways that each partner in a coupled relationship reacts to and understand each other's behavior, and in their health behaviors.
The proposed research aims to address the question: Compared to the current standard of care for home-based HIV tests, in which persons conduct and interpret HIV tests without counseling, does the addition of video conferencing with a remote counselor increase health-enhancing, protective behaviors among male-male couples and facilitate linkage to care for those who test positive?
Regular physical activity is one prominent health-protective behaviour which might increase with the help of self-regulatory strategies such as action planning. The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to examine changes in daily moderate physical activity in couples following (a) a dyadic planning intervention, (b) an individual planning intervention or (c) a no-planning control condition. Changes in daily physical activity will be examined over a period of one year. It is assumed that target persons from couples receiving a dyadic planning intervention will show greater increases in daily physical activity than target persons from couples receiving an individual planning intervention. For couples receiving a dyadic planning intervention or an individual planning intervention, it is hypothesized that target persons will show higher increases in daily physical activity than target persons from couples participating in the no-planning control condition.
