Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a well-being program delivered through an application for mobile devices in a sample of medical students. Methods: Three hundred students of the undergraduate medical course of Albert Einstein Israelite Faculty will be recruited. The participants will be randomized in two groups of 150 participants each one, half of them in the control group (GC) and the other half to the intervention group (GI).
The prevalence of dementia is higher in Hispanics and African Americans than non-Hispanic Whites. Moreover, dementia caregivers often experience loneliness as well decreased health status. The expansion of social media use among Hispanics and African Americans, particularly Twitter - a short message service - offers great promise for improving social support. This study aims to evaluate changes of discussion topics, sentiment and networking styles (i.e., number of followers) among anonymous followers of our two Twitter networks; the African American/Black dementia caregiver group and the Hispanic dementia caregiver group.

The current study examines the impact of ParentCorps in high-poverty Early Education Centers in New York City (NYC). The study is conducted within the context of the NYC Department of Education (DOE) Pre-K Thrive initiative. As part of this initiative, the Center for Early Childhood Health and Development (CEHD) at NYU Langone Health is implementing services to strengthen family engagement and support parents and teachers in building safe, nurturing and predictable environments for young children. Services include resources to support social emotional learning (SEL) and family engagement (FE) for all Pre-K for All (PKFA) programs and all PKFA families; Professional Learning to support the use of evidence-based SEL and FE practices for teachers and leaders from 350 PKFA programs; and ParentCorps programs for PKFA children and families in 50 PKFA programs (which is a subset of PKFA programs receiving Professional Learning). The current study evaluates the relative value of Thrive Professional Learning plus ParentCorps compared to Thrive Professional Learning. This study will include 158 pre-K teachers (teachers and teaching assistants) across 23 Centers (12 Centers receiving Thrive Professional Learning plus ParentCorps, 11 Centers receiving Thrive Professional Learning only). All teachers in the 23 Centers will be invited to complete 2 self-report surveys over a two-year period. A sub-set of teachers will be randomly selected to participate in 2 interviews during this period. In addition, teachers in sites randomized to ParentCorps (12 Centers) will be invited to consent to the use of weekly implementation surveys, observational data and semi-structured interviews about experiences with implementation, collected as part of standard implementation practice of ParentCorps, for the purposes of this study.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of provision of a child bed through the Beds for Kids program on objectively measured child sleep, and on daily child behavioral functioning and caregiver functioning over a 14-day period for preschool-aged children.
In the MOIST study it will be assessed whether the adapted Sternberg short-term working memory task (STMST) is an effective method to induce malodor formation by emotional stress, as assessed by expert assessments of stress-induced malodor formation in the armpits of 30 healthy male volunteers. Before, during and after being exposed to the adapted version of the STMST, saliva will be collected to determine cortisol levels, subjects have to rate their momentary feelings of anxiety and embarrassment and heart rate variability will be monitored continuously with a wireless signal transmission device. Before and after exposure to the adapted STMST, malodor levels will be assessed by two expert judges, axillary volatiles will be collected by cup scrubbing and microbiota samples will be taken to determine microbial species.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate early-phase interventions for refugee wellness promotion and build evidence for dissemination of the intervention model and curricula through refugee resettlement programs, local and national.
This protocol of meditation is based on mindfulness program proposes to train meditation during the hemodialysis session.

Methods: fifty patients will be separated in two groups, twenty five each group, half of them in the control group (CG) and the other half to the intervention group (IG). The patients will be evaluated pre- and pos-protocol.
