Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of a medication-taking habit worksheet and discussion with a pharmacist in patients who are prescribed a new chronic medication for cardiovascular disease or depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the feasibility and acceptability of the workup from the perspective of the patients and the clinic? - What is the impact of the intervention on the formation of medication-taking habits compared to a comparison group who receive standard pharmacist counseling? - What is the difference in medication adherence beliefs and behaviors for the group receiving the habit workup compared to those receiving standard counseling?
The goal of this clinical trial is to gain importance of sleep routine and environment in mothers have children with neurodevelopmental disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the importance of sleep routine and environment in children with neurodevelopmental disorders? - What kind of an effect does the awareness that mothers gain through sleep trainings have? Participants will: - Evaluations will be applied to all participants - Divided into intervention and control groups - The intervention group will be given "Sleep Training" and followed up for about 1 month. - The results between the two groups will be compared Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if turning a healthy sleep routine into a life habit
This study aims to detect the prevalence of practicing oral habits among a group of school children in Cairo, Egypt.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the effect of daily consumption of chia seeds, if any, on HDL cholesterol levels and compare this to the effects of oats on HDL levels in adult populations.
This research will implement a novel habit formation intervention among people living with hypertension and an indication of medication non-adherence to help maintain high anti-hypertensive (AH) medication adherence by leveraging the power of routines and unconsciously triggered habitual behaviors. The investigators will test whether high AH medication adherence can be maintained using contextually-cued medication adherence habits that mitigate the negative effects of declining motivation, forgetfulness, and the cognitive burden of performing repeated daily behaviors. The use of mHealth tools will help to make this a scalable and sustainable intervention approach for addressing an important healthcare issue in Arizona.
There is a need to change eating patterns towards healthier diets with new sources of non-animal protein, obtained through more sustainable systems in line with strategies such as the European Green Deal, the "Farm to Fork" strategy, or the Common Agricultural Policy, among others. The objective of this study, is to evaluate the nutritional effect of the developed products and their impact on the improvement and/or prevention of health problems (diabetes, intestinal dysbiosis), as well as to design and evaluation of the effect on health of a vegetable protein-based nutraceutical that also includes fiber and resistant starch.
An observational study is carried out in the university population of the University of Salamanca to know the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of physical exercise on the severity of symptoms.
The purpose of the study is to optimize the delivery of mHealth tools to support the formation of persistent mindfulness meditation routines. Aim 1: Identify the efficacy of the anchoring strategy on the persistence of daily meditation practice. H1: Persistence (measured through repeated observations of panel regression models of the daily likelihood of mindfulness mediation over the 16-week follow-up period) will be greater among AG as compared to CG. Aim 2: Determine participant phenotypes that are (a) associated with successfully anchoring daily meditation or (b) likely to need additional supports. Potential moderators of the anchoring strategy's success include participants' daily schedule, type of work, household composition, motivation, time and risk preferences, and prior exposure to mindfulness, which will be analyzed in the panel regression model framework above. Aim 3: Determine the optimal type, timing, and sequence of push notifications for encouraging daily mindfulness meditation within and across study groups. The efficacy of each push notification type (tracking sessions completed, reminders, mood symptom tracking, and group-specific goal reminders), timing, and dynamics on the anchoring of daily meditation will inform a subsequent, just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI). Impact: This study will inform an optimal JITAI R01 proposal that will personalize the type and temporal dynamics of app-based daily supports for successfully routinizing daily meditation, and determine its effects on mental health, specifically PTSD. Lifetime prevalence of PTSD is 7% in adults and meditation is known to reduce PTSD. If effective
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) compose a substantial proportion of the global burden of diseases, posing a significant challenge in both high-income and low- and middle-income countries. In particular, certain lifestyle-related risk factors, such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and sleep deprivation are the leading risk factors, which place people at an increased risk of developing NCDs. On the other hand, a growing phenomenon of excessive concern about diet and health is emerging, and it is contributing to the development of a novel eating behavior disorder named orthorexia nervosa. According to recent studies, orthorexic behavior is very common among young adults and especially so in health-care professionals. The main objective of this multi-center study is to explore and compare lifestyle habits among undergraduate medical students and other healthcare-related professions from different countries (Croatia, Lebanon, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Turkey). The goal is to obtain information on the presence of unhealthy habits in order to be able to intervene, offering the information needed for primordial disease prevention in this young and still healthy group of respondents, who are the health educators and role models of the future. The particular importance of this goal is to raise awareness of the problem of the ubiquitously present unhealthy lifestyles. Unfortunately, health-care students are not the exception regarding the prevalence of the unhealthy diet, sedentary behavior, sleep deprivation and high levels of psychological stress. Furthermore, the adoption of unhealthy lifestyle patterns in health-care workers, such as doctors and nurses, will have far-reaching negative consequences, in both their health and their patients' health. The results of this study will be used for identifying the needs and targets for intervention, enabling students to become a pillar of health education for their patients and the population in general.
This study will include any participant who registered, and plans to attend the Inner Engineering In-Person Completion Course. In 2019, this course was offered in: Los Angeles in March, Philadelphia in April and Toronto & Dallas in November. This study has been involved in every IECO Course since 2019 and is still active today. Beginning in August 2021, investigators will recruit for the August Inner Engineering In-Person Completion Course. Investigators anticipate that this study can include up to 5,000 study participants. Participants would attend this course and complete the pre-modules regardless of whether or not they participate in this study.
