NCT ID: NCT05760573 Enrolling by invitation - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

The Ready and Healthy for Kindergarten Study

Start date: April 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a family wellness program enhances child and parenting outcomes among Latino dual language learners entering Kindergarten and their families. The main questions are: (1) To what extent does the family wellness program enhance home health and learning routines, and (2) To what extent does the family wellness program enhance child literacy, language, and social-emotional outcomes. All participants will be asked to complete surveys and assessments. Researchers will compare two groups: (1) Family wellness program that includes (a) 8-weekly summer sessions, (b) text messages, (c) booster sessions, and (2) usual care plus school supplies and list of resources to see if the family wellness program enhances child and parenting outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05659693 Recruiting - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

The Effect of Digital Literacy Education Given to Postmenopausal Women on Health Literacy and Quality of Life

Start date: November 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

During menopause, women may experience many conditions and symptoms due to fluctuation in hormone levels. These symptoms can affect a woman's social and personal functioning and quality of life. The symptoms and quality of life experienced by women during menopause are closely related to health literacy and digital literacy levels. Women in the menopausal period often turn to alternative and complementary practices to cope with the symptoms. They obtain this information from Web 2.0 technologies (Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and other sources on the internet, along with the innovations brought by the developing world. However, they do not have enough skills to question the reliability and accuracy of the information sources they obtain. In this context, digital literacy emerges as a new concept in today's digital transformation. Digital Literacy is the awareness, attitude and ability of individuals to use digital tools and possibilities appropriately to identify, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, analyze and synthesize digital resources, create new information, create media expressions and communicate with others. With the developing technology and widespread use of the internet, the impact of the information obtained from digital platforms on the current health literacy and quality of life of women is gaining importance. In the literature, it has been determined that the relationship between digital literacy, health literacy and quality of life has been examined in different samples such as the elderly and individuals with chronic diseases. However, no research has been found in the literature examining the effect of a planned digital literacy education specific to menopause on the health literacy and quality of life of postmenopausal women. The age group in which the research is planned is a group that can use Web 2.0 technologies (Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and other sources on the internet, but we think that they have limited information about accessing information sources and examining the accuracy of the information they have obtained. In this context, we believe that a planned digital literacy education specific to menopause will increase the health literacy and quality of life of postmenopausal women.

NCT ID: NCT05602181 Enrolling by invitation - Literacy Clinical Trials

Effect of the ALL App on Literacy for Children Who Use AAC

Start date: October 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a phonics-based literacy program for children with limited or no speech who use augmentative and alternative communication. More specifically, this study aims to: 1. Understand if using a literacy app (Accessible Literacy Learning) created to support individuals with limited or no speech, with instruction provided by a service provider, will increase their literacy skills 2. Understand how many trials/how much time it takes to acquire each of the 6 early literacy skill assessed 3. Understand if service providers think the Accessible Literacy Learning app is appropriate for this population that needs many literacy adaptions due to challenges with speech. 4. Understand if any characteristics lead to more learning of the skills, for example, diagnosis or age Participants will be asked to complete 100 lessons using the app. The lessons will be phonics-based for the intervention group. The comparison group with use the same app and complete 100 lessons, but will only complete lessons in sight word (no phonics).

NCT ID: NCT05508282 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Parent-Child Relations

Testing an App-Based Approach to Reading and Screen Time Guidance for Parents of Infants

Start date: June 30, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that parents read to their children as often as possible beginning in infancy and limits on screen time at all ages, yet many families question the value of reading to infants and are uncertain how to do so, and screen time is rising. This proposal is highly relevant to public health in that it involves a "how-to" approach to reading with infants and limiting screen time that is delivered during pediatric well-child visits within an established program (Reach Out and Read) using innovative materials: specially designed children's books and animated educational videos featured in a new mobile app (Reading Bees). It addresses important research gaps, compliments existing programs and empowers families, particularly from underserved backgrounds, to read more interactively and enjoyably with their babies, limit screen time, and improve early literacy skills, relationships and health outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05454969 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Health Care Utilization

One-4-ALL Initiative

Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to improve health outcomes of individuals and populations, enhance the patient experience, reduce the per capita cost of care, and ensure the well-being of our healthcare providers (quadruple aim). These goals are increasingly difficult to achieve, given the challenges of changes to workflow, staffing shortages, and increased costs brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, the pandemic brought to light the critical need to transform healthcare access for our racially and culturally minoritized and low-income families that have long been victims of health disparities, specifically with poorer health outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05339464 Active, not recruiting - Health Behavior Clinical Trials

Ready and Healthy for Kindergarten

Start date: May 9, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study pilot tests a family wellness program that promotes academic and physical readiness for school among Latino dual language learners using a mixed methods and community engaged approach.

NCT ID: NCT05337306 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Improving Diabetic Patient Health Through Assistive-Reading Technology

Start date: April 26, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) affects over 30 million Americans and requires patients to competently manage their conditions at home. However, the majority of diabetes self-management education (DSME) and aftercare print materials remain overly complicated, with excessively high reading difficulty and fall short in supporting functional readiness for self- management at home, especially for the 18% of U.S. adults unable to read beyond a second-grade level. This project will determine the feasibility of implementing assistive reading technology, designed for patients with limited print or English proficiency, that will immediately expand patient capacity to understand DSME materials, increase T2DM self- management adherence and eventually reduce, at a scale, disparate outcomes in a chronic disease. It will use a small pilot trial design of the GogyUp Reader app to use with print materials versus print materials with no app support and test effects of GogyUp on three-month follow-up measures of health literacy (primary outcome) using the Health Literacy Questionnaire subscales 9 (Understanding health information well enough to know what to do") and 2 ("Having sufficient information to manage my health"); and on three-month follow-up self-reported diabetes management (secondary outcome) using the Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS).

NCT ID: NCT05317130 Not yet recruiting - Diabetes Clinical Trials

A Complex Health Promotion Intervention in Parasport - The Safe & Healthy Parasport Project

Start date: September 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The interest in Para sport is steadily increasing. A concern is, though, that elite Para athletes report a high incidence of injuries and illnesses. Altogether, there is an urgent need to prevent such incidents among athletes already suffering from an impairment. However, most of the existing training-based prevention programmes are not adapted or accessible to Para athletes. Also, recent research suggests that sports safety work advantageously should facilitate disease prevention and health promotion. Such intervention would hypothetically also have the potential to reduce injuries, illnesses and improve health among Para athletes. To allow full implementation, the intervention would need to be adapted to the Para athletes´ various impairments, abilities and sports. MAIN QUESTIONS TO BE ADRESSED - Can an evidence-based eHealth health promotion platform prevent sports injuries and illnesses in elite para athletes over 6 months, 12 months and 5 years? - Can such platform improve overall health parameters such as sleep, nutrition and mental health in elite para athletes and influence the performance parameters training quantity and training quality over 6 months, 12 months and 5 years? - Can such platform improve health literacy among Para athletes?

NCT ID: NCT05245799 Enrolling by invitation - Hearing Loss Clinical Trials

Hear Me Read 2021 Clinical Trial

Start date: March 25, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the effects of in-person speech-language therapy with a novel digital storybook intervention platform (Hear Me Read) improves vocabulary, speech and language, and literacy outcomes in young children who are deaf or hard of hearing compared with in-person therapy alone.

NCT ID: NCT05088694 Recruiting - Tolerance Clinical Trials

The Optimization and Evaluation of the Extremism and Intolerance Curriculum for the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Start date: November 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Researcher from UNC Greensboro have partnered with Prevention Strategies and key stakeholders from the Kingdom of Bahrain to conduct a study using the innovative, engineering-inspired methodological approach, the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), to optimize and evaluate the Peaceful Coexistence and Anti-Extremism middle and high school curricula. No other curriculum targeting tolerance and/or extremism has been optimized using the state-of-the-art MOST methodology. The overall goal of the project is that the optimized versions of Peaceful Coexistence and Anti-Extremism curricula will be used across the Kingdom of Bahrain and translated for use in other countries to combat the spread of extremism and intolerance. Additionally, the D.A.R.E. keepin' it REAL (kiR) and D.A.R.E. myPlaybook high school programs will be evaluated as part of the Peaceful Coexistence and Anti-Extremism evaluation.
