The goal of this research study is to learn whether investigators can successfully give the PediRISE program to families-in other words, whether most families are interested in participating in a study about the PediRISE program, including a 50-50 chance of receiving standard usual care, and a 50-50 chance of receiving the PediRISE support program. The names of the study groups in this research study are: - PediRISE Program Group - Usual Care Group
The overall objective of this proposal is to quantify the bias in pulse oximeter reported oxygen saturation (SpO2) by evaluating its measures compared to the gold standard blood gas measured arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) across race and skin pigmentation. The main question that the investigators intend to answer is whether 1. There is greater pulse oximeter bias and subclinical hypoxemia in (1a) Black compared to White infants, and (1b) dark versus light-pigmented infants 2. This bias increases with gestational and postnatal maturation 3. This bias is associated with adverse patient outcomes
The P3OPPY Project is one of five projects within the American Heart Association P3 EQUATE Network. The overarching goal of the P3 EQUATE American Heart Association Health Equity Research Network (HERN) is to promote equity in Maternal and Infant Health outcomes by identifying innovative and cost-effective strategies to enhance access to quality health information, care, and experiences during pregnancy, postnatal and postpartum/preconception periods, particularly for Black and under-served populations. Collectively, the investigators will collaborate with pregnant and postpartum individuals and their families, hospitals, and communities to discover ways to reduce racism and social problems that contribute to poor health outcomes.
The objective of the proposed study is to scale social risk factor screening and referral for cancer survivors and to solidify information exchange between clinical and community settings in order to improve survivor health and well-being. This will be completed through three primary aims: 1) To ascertain workflow and map community resources needed to facilitate social risk factor screening and referral for breast and prostate cancer survivors in Washington, District of Columbia. 2) To determine impact of Community Health Worker (CHW) support on Black breast and prostate cancer survivor health and wellbeing as measured through quality of life (QOL) and social connection. 3) To determine impact of anti-racism training for staff and clinicians at three cancer centers on patient-reported discrimination.
In this pilot study, limited English proficient (LEP) parents of children at Seattle Children's Hospital for day surgery will be randomized to usual discharge care or usual discharge plus language-concordant, audio-recorded instructions via recordable card. these cards are similar to recordable greeting cards, and can record up to 180 seconds of information. They can be played back over 100 times. We will follow-up with families 2-7 days later to assess satisfaction and comprehension of discharge instructions.
This cross-sectional survey study is intended to describe the characteristics of adults in 4 US states with regards to respiratory symptoms and tobacco exposure, utilizing an existing state-administered, CDC overseen Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System telephone health survey. The primary goal of study is to describe the sociodemographics, health behaviors, and presence of chronic diseases in persons with or at risk of having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
