Filter by:The investigators overarching goal is to increase the percentage of patients engaging in diabetes prevention activities to reduce the incidence of diabetes. The investigators objective is to design and pilot test a prediabetes clinical decision support (CDS) tool in the electronic health record (EHR) that will assess the patient's activation level based on responses to a questionnaire. Based on the patient's assessed level of activation, the tool will generate several communication recommendations to guide clinicians in conversations related to prediabetes/lifestyle change and tailor recommendations about available resources (e.g., care manager, health coach, DPP) to support patient activation.
The goal of this trial is to test the effectiveness and learn about the mechanisms and effectiveness of lifestyle intervention for college students. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the lifestyle course for college students effective in improving the skills and confidence for changing lifestyle, occupational balance, perceived health, as well as well-being for college students? - What are the mechanisms between the course design and the students' learning? Participants will join a 9-week online course that aims to facilitate college students to create health-promoting and satisfying habits and routines. Potentially a mixed format of online and in-person course design will be applied, depending on the university requirements and student feedback. Researchers will compare the experimental group and control group to see if the lifestyle tele-course improves college students' skills and confidence for changing lifestyle, occupational balance, perceived health, as well as well-being.
Psychological distress is a multi-factorial experience of a psychological, social, spiritual, and/or physical nature that may interfere with one's ability to cope effectively with cancer, physical symptoms and treatment. Psychological distress is common and affects the efficacy and prognosis of patients with lung cancer. The systematic anti-tumor therapy may effectively relieve psychological distress including anxiety, depression, and fatigue in patients with advanced lung cancer, the relief of the psychological distress can in turn improve the therapeutic effect. In summary, this study is to explore the associations of (dynamic) psychological stress with the efficacy and survival of anti-tumor therapy including immunotherapy and targeted therapy for advanced lung cancer patients.
Interventions that target excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) with nutrition and exercise behavior change struggle with low program adherence. The investigators recently examined adherence in a randomized controlled trial to a previously established lifestyle program called the Nutrition and Exercise Lifestyle Intervention Program (NELIP) and found that those individuals with high adherence to the program were more likely to prevent EGWG. Perhaps offering participants a choice to intervention strategies may improve adherence. The current research question is: What impact does participant choice have on adherence to the introduction of nutrition and exercise components during 3 intervention strategies offered to pregnant individuals compared to no choice and does choice maintain pregnancy health outcomes? The strategies are: Group A - introducing both the nutrition and exercise components simultaneous at baseline (12-18 weeks of pregnancy) that is followed to delivery (NELIP); Group B - introducing the nutrition component first and then at 25 weeks adding the exercise component; or Group C - starting with the exercise component first, followed with introducing the nutrition component at 25 weeks. Both Groups B and C follow the full NELIP from 25 weeks to delivery (final intervention measures will occur at 34-36 weeks gestation). Follow-up will occur at birth (6-18 hours), 2, 6 and 12 months post delivery.
The goal of the RESTART RCT is to examine whether a complex lifestyle intervention, coordinated with municipal and non-government organizations (NGO), can establish and preserve improvements in risk factors and functional capacity among older adults at high risk of cardiometabolic disease. The main objectives to investigate are whether a complex lifestyle intervention, compared to an active control group, will at 24 months have: 1. Produced a clinically relevant increase in cardiorespiratory fitness (primary endpoint) 2. Increased muscle strength, physical activity and reduced adiposity 3. Improved body composition, health-related quality of life and cognitive function All participants (Control and Intervention Groups) are provided with wrist-worn activity trackers at baseline and access to national recommendations on physical activity. The intervention group additionally advances through a comprehensive lifestyle program including high-intensity aerobic and strength exercise, dietary and behavioral counselling. Intervention participants are gradually transitioned into exercise activities organized by Tromsø Municipaity and local NGO:s. Testing of outcomes are performed at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months. Primary endpoint (VO2max) is assessed at 24 months.
The primary objective of the STRIVE study is to compare two implementation strategies for Diabetes Prevention Program delivery: an in-person health coach strategy (standard 24 in-person sessions at WIC clinics) vs. a multifaceted technology-assisted health coach implementation strategy (12 in-person sessions at WIC clinics supplemented by technology support) on implementation and health-related outcomes in postpartum women.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether personalized lifestyle coaching minimizes the negative impact of circadian disruption on performance and recovery in emergency medicine physician trainees during night shifts.
This study's purpose is to identify factors that may aid in answering the clinical question: Among adolescents 12-17 years old who are diagnosed with a mental health condition(s), does a family-based educational intervention improve healthy lifestyle knowledge and behaviors, including nutrition, PA, screen time, and sleep? The specific aims are to: Aim 1: To educate adolescents with mental health conditions and their family members about ways to improve healthy lifestyle behaviors. Aim 2: To evaluate an increase in knowledge on healthy lifestyle behaviors after a 45-minute online education session. Aim 3: To evaluate an increase in healthy lifestyle behaviors after the intervention. This project utilizes a one-group pretest-posttest design study for 30 adolescents (aged 12-17 years) diagnosed with a mental health condition(s) and their parent/legal guardian. This project will implement best practices to promote healthy lifestyle knowledge and behaviors to adolescents and their parent(s)/legal guardian(s). This will be a 45-minute educational presentation delivered via Zoom. Participants will have option to select between 2-3 dates and times for educational presentation. The investigators will compare the effects of an educational program on healthy lifestyle knowledge and behaviors pre-and post-program (after one month) via a REDCap survey for the adolescent and their parent/legal guardian. The survey will utilize an adapted version of the 2021 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and the 2020 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH-T3). The analysis of this project will compare changes in healthy lifestyle knowledge and behaviors using a paired t-test. The educational presentation will be recorded and emailed to participants within 1 week of intervention to re-watch/review.
Recent findings regarding why Chinese male smokers are reluctant to quit have offered insight for a possible new solution. Consistent with the Cognitive Dissonance Theory, "smoking rationalization beliefs" are a set of beliefs by smokers to rationalize their smoking behavior and avoid quitting. These beliefs have been well studied by global researchers, and a "smoking rationalization beliefs" scale was recently developed and validated for Chinese male smokers. The six dimensions of these beliefs are: smoking functional beliefs, risk generalization beliefs, social acceptability beliefs, safe smoking beliefs, self-exempting beliefs, and quitting is harmful beliefs. Studies on smoking rationalization in China have primarily been observational. Investigators propose to develop a Community-Centered eHealth Smoking Cessation Intervention (CCeSCI). The trinity of CCeSCI are the triangular unity of "smoking rationalization beliefs" framework, the non-physician community workers, and the eHealth technologies. The latter two were previously proven effective in interventional studies (including three conducted by the PI) but not yet widely used in smoking cessation. With the adoption of smoking rationalization beliefs framework aiming to address the cognitive causes of phycological addition to smoking and supported by the community-based behavioral interventions and the use of eHealth, CCeSCI is designed to overcome previous challenges with the principles of people-centeredness, convenience, and personalization.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if an occupational therapy lifestyle program for community-dwelling older adults delivered individually through a telehealth platform can produce comparable outcomes in health-related qualify of life and occupational performance as found in studies that used a longer duration and group intervention.
