Filter by:The goal of this behavioral intervention clinical trial is to assess acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a 4-session intervention to increase consistent HIV testing and linkage to care and prevention among HIV uninfected (assessed via on-site testing) female sex workers who use drugs in Kazakhstan. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. is the intervention acceptable and feasible 2. do participants randomized to the intervention arm report: 1) past 3-month testing; 2) frequent testing (2+ test over 6 mos.); 3) linkage to HIV care and ART initiation, if positive, or intention to uptake PrEP, if negative, as compared with control arm participants. Secondary outcomes include incident, biologically-confirmed STIs and stigma-related factors. Follow-up period is six months. All participants will be HIV-negative upon study enrollment as assessed via rapid HIV test. Participants randomized to the intervention arm will be engaged in a 4-session intervention that offers training and education in HIV self-testing, peer education on HIV self-testing, internalized stigma coping and resistance via basic cognitive restructuring, and provision of HIV self-test kits and reminders every three months. Researchers will compare participants randomized to the intervention arm to participants randomized to the time- and attention-control arm to evaluate impact of the intervention on the outcomes described above.
Community members ages 18 - 45 years old from the El Paso, Texas, U.S.-Mexico Border Region will be recruited to compare psychoeducational multimedia interventions focused on the human papillomavirus (HPV). Our hypothesis is that adults who view culturally tailored multimedia stories encouraging HPV vaccination will report higher vaccine uptake rates.
The primary objective of this study is to examine differences in intentions (measured by hypothetical beverage selection) between the following conditions: (1) Control condition: Viewing beverages with a barcode, (2) viewing beverages that have an icon-plus-text warning label, "WARNING: High in added sugar", (3) viewing a campaign message about warning labels in one's preferred language + viewing beverages with a barcode, and (4) viewing a campaign message about warning labels in one's preferred language + viewing beverages with the warning label above. An additional objective is to compare other message reactions and perceptions and perceptions of SSBs (sugar-sweetened beverages) between the conditions. This study will use an online randomized controlled trial among Latino/a/x adults to assign participants to one of the above conditions.
The current study aims to evaluate a newly developed CSM narrative intervention in increasing HPV vaccination intentions and uptake in adults aged 18 to 26 years. The efficacy of the newly designed CSM-guided narrative video will be compared against a time and attention video and the standard of care print educational materials in increasing the intentions and uptake of the HPV vaccine in an adult Hispanic-majority college population. It is expected that participants receiving the CSM-guided narrative video will have greater HPV vaccine intentions compared with participants in the time and attention video and standard of care print education material groups. It is also hypothesized that participants receiving the CSM-guided narrative video will have greater HPV vaccine uptake at one month post-intervention compared with participants in the time and attention video and standard of care print education material groups.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Hispanic women have the highest rates of HPV-related cervical cancer compared to all other groups in the U.S. Previous research has delineated several unique barriers to HPV vaccination among Hispanic women, suggesting that interventions that focus on addressing these barriers may improve HPV vaccination compliance in this population. To address some of these unique barriers, an online tailored messaging intervention was developed and tested. Initial analyses demonstrate that participants exposed to an online intervention demonstrated higher intentions to vaccinate for HPV after viewing the informational materials. The next phase of the project will be comprised of promoting use of the online intervention to the general public through the use of theory-based, pretested messages delivered via advertisements on Facebook and Twitter. Specifically, messages will be targeted based on differences between Hispanic parents of adolescents and Hispanic young adults. Previous research has explored the use of the Extended Parallel Processing Model as a theory to guide messages designed to promote health behaviors. The current study extends this work in the area of HPV prevention. Specifically, it seeks to examine the use of this theory as a means to stimulate information seeking behavior in the form of use of the previously developed online intervention that provides information about HPV. We also hope to make a significant contribution to research demonstrating the importance of targeting messages based on differences in population characteristics. Additionally, this study seeks to build on research examining the use of social media sites as a means for implementing health interventions and promoting positive health outcomes. Ultimately, the current study seeks to improve both the HPV vaccination decision-making process and HPV vaccination rates. If this was achieved among the Hispanic population it could substantially decrease disparities in cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases.
In a series of controlled, randomized experiments, we will systematically manipulate exposure to health-related messages and/or survey methods to examine the effects on behavioral intention. There are various strategies used to influence health-related decision making and the effects of health behavior have had mixed results. In particular, incentive-based interventions have often failed to increase healthy behavior. We will examine 1) the role of behavioral motivation to increase sleep or exercise and 2) current levels of sleep or exercise when predicting who is interested in a mock RCT invitation to increase each behavior using financial or social incentives. In addition to the above focus on sleep and exercise, we will also examine another important health behavior: vaccination. Embedded within experiments studying effects of incentives on vaccination decisions, will conduct methodological tests. In particular, we will estimate the effects of using different methods of measuring the study outcome (vaccine intention).
This study aims to test sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) health labeling elements in an online experiment to determine which elements are the most salient among young adults.
Novel oral anticoagulant drugs (NOACs) are now increasingly used in clinical practice. Although there are outstanding advantages of NOACs, there are also some shortcomings in use. The behavioral pattern of patients using novel oral anticoagulant drugs can directly affect the effect of anticoagulant therapy. However, at present, there is no study on behavioral patterns of compliance and cognition in patients using NOACs in China. There are few reports on the management outcomes of NOACs anticoagulant therapy as well. Above all, exploring whether pharmacists change behavioral patterns in patients using NOACs is of great significance to improve the effectiveness and safety and to prove the value of pharmacists who provide pharmaceutical care.
Despite a push for tailored messages, health communications are often aimed at, and viewed by, people with varying levels of risk. This project examined—in the context of radon risk messages—whether information relevant to high-risk individuals can have an unintended influence on lower-risk individuals. Specifically, the investigators assessed whether information about lung-cancer risk from smoking reduced concerns about lung-cancer risk from radon among nonsmokers. The investigators hypothesized that non-smokers who read a message that included smoking-relevant information would express less concern about the effects of radon exposure and less interest in testing their home compared to those who read a version in which smoking-relevant information was excluded. Two studies were conducted. Although the investigators did not exclude smokers, the focus was on participants self-identifying as nonsmokers (including never smokers and former smokers).
Background: Exclusive breastfeeding through age 6 months is the optimal infant feeding method due to lifesaving benefits for children and mothers (AAP, others). Exclusive breastfeeding in-hospital is critical because in-hospital formula supplementation doubles risk of non-exclusive breastfeeding at 30-60 days (Chantry et al, 2014). While breastfeeding initiation rates have increased at our inner-city Baby Friendly - designated maternity hospital, exclusive breastfeeding lags. CDC mPINC data (maternity practices in infant nutrition and care, 2015) demonstrate this is a national problem, with >50% of surveyed hospitals endorsing supplementation of "10-49%" of breastfed infants. Study Objective: The study objective is to evaluate acceptance/satisfaction of 2 prenatal interventions (breastfeeding champion and positive messaging) and to determine if these affect exclusive breastfeeding intention and practice. Methods: In this prospective intervention study with follow-up chart review, we will pilot two 5-minute-long iPad-based interventions for 1 month each in obstetrical clinics, following a required 28-week obstetrical visit breastfeeding education. All expectant mothers (including 14-17 year olds with guardian) are eligible. Outcomes are acceptance (enrollment rate), satisfaction (Likert-based), impact on exclusive breastfeeding intention (pre/post query) and secondarily impact on exclusive breastfeeding in-hospital and at 2 weeks.
