Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to investigate if a personalized intervention including parts such as navigation (focus on patient outreach efforts, missed and completed encounters), personalization (individual health benefits) and compensation (value health-related costs borne by patients) will help people reduce their chances of dying from preventable causes, including heart attacks, strokes, drinking alcohol, substance abuse, HIV, and other conditions.
This randomized controlled trial will: 1) Test the efficacy of the CHOICES-TEEN (CT) intervention compared with an Attentional Control (AC) condition on reducing the risk of substance-exposed pregnancy (SEP) and HIV/STI among high-risk female youth involved with the juvenile justice system by reducing alcohol use, increasing marijuana cessation, reducing risk of pregnancy, and increasing condom use; 2) Test the efficacy of CT, compared to AC, on increasing cognitive self-regulation abilities; 3) Test proposed intervention mediators/mechanisms of action for CT overall and by race/ethnicity; and 4) Test the moderating effect of initial readiness to change on risk of SEP and risk of HIV/STI.
This study is a 2-arm RCT that will assess the efficacy of a culturally adapted, 10-session SGM-affirmative, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in Hunan province China. The affirmative treatment called ESTEEM is based on a minority stress-focused, CBT framework. In collaboration with colleagues at Central South University (CSU), the investigators will assess whether a culturally adapted version of iCBT ESTEEM demonstrates significant reductions in HIV risk behavior and mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety) compared to self-monitoring of stress and mood.
The goal of the BSHAPE study is to test a trauma informed, culturally tailored, multicomponent program entitled BSHAPE (Being Safe, Healthy, And Positively Empowered) for immigrant survivors of cumulative trauma.
This study measures the proportion of enrolled patients taking the uninterrupted HIV post-exposure prophylaxis Genvoya for four weeks
This study will develop and test a novel, smartphone based gaming intervention to improve adherence to medication to prevent HIV (known as Pre-exposure Prophylaxis, PrEP) and to decrease HIV risk behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM). In the intervention, participants will engage with an immersive app/game on their iPhone. While gaming, participants will gain information about their health, improve motivation for PrEP and medical appointment adherence, and practice healthy behaviors. If the intervention is found to be effective, it can be tested in a larger study and then disseminated to other people taking PrEP.
Girls in the juvenile justice system who have high rates of delinquency, drug abuse, and trauma are particularly at risk for engaging in risky sexual behavior and for contracting HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). No effective prevention programs for girls who have this combination of behaviors is known to exist at this time. Researchers are developing, assessing, and implementing a family-centered prevention program to decrease girls' participation in the risky behaviors associated with the spread of HIV and STIs. The program also includes a group-based training and support program for parents.
This is a developmental study evaluating a new rapid HIV testing and risk prevention intervention for residents of battered women's shelters who endorse risky sexual behaviors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate feasibility of modularized delivery of the Impact of Crime (IOC) group intervention with jail inmates, and obtain preliminary data on its effectiveness in reducing post-release recidivism, substance abuse, and HIV risk behavior.
This pilot study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the Impact of Crime (IOC) group intervention for jail inmates. The hypothesis is that participants in IOC will show decreases in criminogenic thinking, decreases in shame, increases in guilt, and increases in empathy, which in turn will be reflected in reduced recidivism (official records and self report), relative to those randomly assigned to a treatment as usual group.
