Filter by:The purpose of the proposed study was to develop a family-based drinking prevention intervention for Latino emerging adults (EAs) and Latino parents of EAs. Although drinking rates for Latinos are lower than those for Whites in terms of the prevalence of alcohol use, the consequences of alcohol use (e.g., drunk driving, unplanned/unprotected sex, alcohol-related injuries) appear to be more severe for Latinos, especially those 18-23 years old. The investigators developed a brief (4 session) intervention for each of EAs and parents focused on identity development and parent support for EAs, respectively.
The STRIDE Pilot Trial is a randomized controlled pilot trial that will utilize social identity informed virtual running groups to support underactive undergraduate students' well-being and exercise behaviour. The main outcomes of this study are to determine whether the intervention is feasible and acceptable to conduct as a full-scale efficacy trial. Secondary outcomes of interest include changes in participants' exercise identity, exercise behaviour, perceived social support, and well-being. Participants' perceived social identification with their running group will also be assessed at the end of the study.
The purpose of the proposed research is to evaluate whether changes in drinking identity (DI; how much one associates one's self with drinking) can reduce hazardous drinking (HD; heavy alcohol use and negative alcohol-related consequences) among current college students. The study seeks to explore whether manipulating DI among participants will have changes in self-efficacy, craving, and HD. If such an effect can be found, DI may be a mechanism for HD behavior change and will allow researchers to develop and improve interventions aimed at HD behaviors in high-risk young adults.
This pilot study adopts a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to develop a novel ARTISAN intergenerational arts programme that aims to promote life meaning, resilience and wellbeing, as well as to enhance social support and national identity, among the older and younger generations Singapore. Utilizing a wait-list Randomized Controlled Trial design, 30 elderlies and 30 youths (N=60) will be invited to participate in a 5-weeks, 10-hours intervention programme. Through the integrative processes of curated museum visits (art space), facilitated storytelling (art facilitation), creative art-making and reflective writing (art content), the intervention will focus on the exploration of five unique themes to engage senior-youth dyads. They include: (a) Discovering National Heritage, (b) Strengthening Social Bonds, (c) Overcoming Adversities and Resilience, (d) Building Dreams and Aspirations, and (e) Sharing Stories and Legacies. Quantitative data obtained before and after the intervention will be triangulated with qualitative data generated from feasibility focus groups and reflective writings to explore its potential benefits and benefiting processes in achieving the aforementioned outcomes. To encourage social change and empowerment, public art exhibitions showcasing the artworks from this programme will also be held within the community. The findings from this study will form the foundation for a larger Population Health Project on Arts and Wellness.
