Filter by:Background. Following a childhood diagnosis of epilepsy, children and their families encounter significant concerns about the disease trajectory, side effects of anti-seizure medications, and long-term prognosis. The multitude of uncertainties can cause significant anxiety in the family, often within the context of limited supports and resources. Epilepsy education can help address these concerns, mitigating the development of anxiety, ultimately leading to better patient-, family- and system-level outcomes. Globally, the MEEP is the only mobile application providing education, monitoring of symptoms, and tracking of medical appointments. The original MEEP was developed, tested, and integrated into practice in Turkey; the investigators will now evaluate the efficacy of an English and French version of the MEEP for families of children with epilepsy in Canada. A two-group, single-center, randomized controlled intervention trial with 1:1 allocation ratio will be conducted in the Pediatric Neurology Clinic of the Montreal Children's Hospital. Seventy-two caregivers of children with epilepsy (intervention=36, control= 36), aged 1-17 years and treated at the study site will be eligible. Family Introduction Form, Epilepsy Information Scale for Parents and Parental Anxiety Scale for Seizures will be used to collect data at baseline and 3 weeks post-delivery of the 7-week intervention. The MEEP consists of 2 parts. The first part entails the delivery of the educational content of the MEEP, and the second part consists of a "Parental Monitoring Section." Comparator. The control group will continue to benefit from the standard educational services provided by the study site.
The goal of the study is to monitor and evaluate the implementation of interventions that aim to increase HPV & MMR vaccines among underserved communities across four European countries: Greece, Netherlands, Poland, and Slovakia. The interventions will target identified health systems barriers in an earlier phase of the project. The interventions that will be implemented employ trusted community members as health promotors whom will provide educational sessions on HPV and MMR vaccination to the target groups. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of vaccine uptake strategies for the target groups is being evaluated. The main research question is: to what extent is the multicomponent tailored intervention effective to increase MMR/HPV intention and vaccine uptake in the target population in Greece, Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia?
Aim of the study Assessing the effect of an oral health education program on knowledge, attitude, practice, and dental caries among a group of school children in a governmental school in Fayoum, Egypt.
The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of a randomized control trial evaluating the educational tool for anticoagulated patients. Participants will be randomized to use new educational materials or current existing educational materials and answer survey questions.
Background and Objective: Tanzania is one of 20 countries where the majority of un- and under-vaccinated children reside. Prior research identified substantial rural-urban disparities in rates and timeliness of childhood vaccination in Tanzania, with children in rural settings being more like to receive delayed or no vaccinations. This type 1 effectiveness implementation hybrid study will evaluate the effect of Chanjo Kwa Wakati ("Timely Vaccination" in Kiswahili), a community-based, integrated digital health intervention, on vaccination timeliness. The intervention combines a vaccination knowledge intervention, mobile phone-based reminders, and incentives with the goal to promote timely childhood vaccinations. Methods: The study will be conducted in two predominantly rural regions in Tanzania with high numbers of un- or under-vaccinated children. Forty rural health facilities and their catchment areas ("clusters") will be randomized to an early or delayed onset study arm. From each cluster, three cohorts of mother-child dyads, one retrospective cohort and two prospective cohorts, will be enrolled into the study. For all vaccines due during the first year of life, timeliness (primary outcome) and coverage (secondary outcome) will be observed for 1200 children (600 intervention children and 600 non-intervention children). Study logs, fidelity checklists, quantitative surveys, vaccination records, and qualitative interviews with mothers and key informants will be used to inform the five constructs of the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. Results will be used to develop an implementation blueprint that can guide future adaptations, sustainability, and scale-up of Chanjo Kwa Wakati. Hypothesis: The hypothesis is that Chanjo Kwa Wakati is effective for increasing the timeliness of childhood vaccinations due by age 1 year compared to the standard of care. Expected impact: This study will address the lack of rigorous evidence on the effectiveness of an community-based digital health intervention for promoting vaccination coverage and timeliness among children from sub-Saharan Africa, and identify implementation strategies to facilitate the deployment of integrated vaccination interventions in low- and middle-income country settings.
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of strengthened anticipatory guidance (AG) used in MOH Malaysia Infant Oral Healthcare Programme in preventing early childhood caries (ECC) lesions and improving caries risk of infants in Negeri Sembilan and their primary caregiver's knowledge and practice on infant oral healthcare
Background Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral disease caused by four distinct but closely related dengue virus (DENV). The incidence of dengue has grown dramatically worldwide in recent decades, with cases reported to WHO increased from 505,430 cases in 2000 to 5.2 million in 2019. The total number of dengue cases in Malaysia has increased from merely 6,543 cases in the year 1995 to 130,101 cases in the year 2019. Knowledge, attitude and practice remain the most effective driving tool against dengue prevention and control and it becomes very necessary to plan an integrated module for the primary prevention of dengue infection especially among school children. Aims The present study intends to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of theory-based integrated dengue education module in improving the knowledge, attitude, practice, environmental cleanliness index, and dengue index among school children in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. Methods This study is a single-blinded, cluster randomized controlled trial study, expected to be conducted from 1st June 2023 to 31st May 2025 among 20 primary dan 20 secondary schools in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. The respondents will be allocated into intervention and control groups randomly based on selected clusters to avoid contamination. The intervention group will receive IDEM, while the control group will receive standard education. The outcome will be measured using validated, self-administered questionnaires at four time points: baseline (T0), Immediately (T1), one month (T2), and three months (T3) post-intervention to measure the effectiveness of the intervention module. The data will be analysed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 28 involving descriptive and inferential statistics. The Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) will be used to test the main effect and interaction between and within the intervention and control groups over time at T0, T1, T2 and T3. This study will use a significance level with a p-value of 0.05 and a confidence interval of 95% for hypothesis testing
Despite a large proportion exhibiting cardiovascular disease risk factors and experiencing food insecurity, U.S. Hispanics/Latinos demonstrate low cardiovascular mortality, which may indicate existing capital (e.g., assets) protecting health and diet. The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and short-term efficacy of a pilot intervention aimed at improving diet quality through strengthening food- and diet-related capital and food security among low-income, Hispanic/Latino adults in San Diego, California. The pilot intervention will be integrated into an existing local health or nutrition program serving low-income Hispanic/Latino adults. Participants will be asked to: - Complete questionnaires before and after the intervention - Engage in nutrition education activities - Engage in food access-related activities
HIV is the leading cause of death for adolescents and young people (AYP) in sub-SaharanAfrica (SSA). Uganda hosts 1.4 million refugees/displaced persons and the Bidi Bidi refugee camp in Northern Uganda is the second-largest refugee settlement in the world and the largest in Africa. There are reports of high sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) among refugees during the journey from South Sudan to Uganda and in the refugee settlements, yet low rates of HIV testing and access to HIV prevention services, particularly tailored for gender, age, and the refugee settlement context. This study aims to develop, implement and evaluate an oral HIV-self testing (HIVST) intervention with displaced/refugee AYP aged16- 24 in Bidi Bidi. HIVST is acceptable and properly used with AYP in other SSA regions, yet there are knowledge gaps regarding the best way to link HIVST to HIV care. This study aims to explore how user-developed educational comic books can improve linkage to care with HIVST. This trial focuses on implementing a randomized trial with displaced/refugee AYP aged 16-24 living in Bidi Bidi (Arm1: HIVST; Arm 2: HIVST + comic book; Arm 3: comic book; Arm 4: standard of care). The study will assess changes in HIV testing practices, HIV status knowledge, and linkage to HIV prevention and care between the 4 arms.
