Filter by:The purpose of this project is to develop and test the acceptance and clinical efficacy of a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based lifestyle intervention, to help manage obesity and diabetes-related health outcomes, provided through community health workers (CHWs) in Latino adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A collaboration with an established community-based organization named Sansum Diabetes Research Institute (SDRI), will provide an opportunity to develop, train and implement a culturally sensitive curricula for the CHWs that focuses on body weight and mental health (depressive symptoms and stress) among participants disproportionately impacted by T2D due to social, economic and community factors. Cultural sensitivity focuses on delivering health information based on norms, values, beliefs, environmental factors, and historical context that is unique to a racial/ethnic population. Therefore, for our curricula to be culturally sensitive it will include the following aspects: being primarily delivered in the Spanish language with English as needed, actively incorporate culturally relevant eating and physical activity recommendations, and encompass the foundational importance of familial and social relationships as part of the mental health component of the intervention. For this proposal, the specific aims of this project are: 1) develop a CBT-based lifestyle intervention that focuses on diet, activity, depressive symptoms, stress, and quality of life in collaboration with CHWs and participants from SDRI, and provide training for three CHWs to implement this intervention; 2) conduct a 26-week randomized controlled trial in 50 Latino adults with T2D in the SDRI organization to evaluate the efficacy of the CBT-based lifestyle intervention to improve weight- and diabetes- related health outcomes (body weight, glycemic control, blood pressure, lipid profile, depressive symptoms, stress, and quality of life); 3) evaluate the acceptance and delivery of the CBT-based lifestyle intervention in CHWs and participants with T2D. If successful, this study will establish the structure and content of a culturally sensitive, effective CBT-lifestyle, community-based treatment.
The NHS DISCOVER team has secured 2-year funding from the Maudsley Charity to tailor the workshop programme the investigators deliver in school Sixth Forms to meet the specific needs of Care Experienced young people. The investigators are planning to complete a pilot of this adapted workshop programme within Medway Children's Social Services to explore its feasibility, accessibility, acceptability and early-stage efficacy within this population of adolescents. Investigators from the DISCOVER team will recruit young people aged 16-19yrs who are currently known to the Medway Care Leavers 16+ teams. The study will be conducted at Medway Local Authority sites, with the option of some stages being completed remotely via Microsoft Teams if needed in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The investigators will recruit 40 pregnant women living with HIV divided into 2 groups (n=20 intervention group, n=20 control group). The intervention group will receive personalized lactation support and monthly unconditional cash transfers (100USD/month) from approximately 30 weeks pregnancy to approximately 6-months postpartum. The control group will receive the current standard care.
This is a cross-sectional research. The investigators plan to recruit about 250 front-line nurses who provided direct care to COVID-19 confirmed cases in a medical center in Taiwan. Online querstionnaires are used to collect the data. The relationship between variables such as stressors related to COVID-19, coping status, resilience, and compassion fatigue of participants will be analysis to provide the direction of nurses' mental health-related interventions.
The proposed study will test a mHealth peer navigation intervention for trans women living with HIV in a trans public health clinics to increase initiation and engagement in mental health and substance use services. The peer will navigate and provide support in-person and via mobile phone with HIPAA-compliant text messaging. Ecological momentary assessments will be conducted to enhance self-monitoring of mental health stress and coping-related substance use.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a consultation with a Personalized Therapeutics Clinic, or PTC, will help participants lower the risk for side effects (drug-drug interactions and drug-gene interactions) when taking many medications and help providers improve prescribing decisions for participants. A PTC is a clinical that will test your genes to gather information about your health that may help guide prescribing advice and offer you new information about your prescriptions. Doctors leading this study will look for variations (differences) in your genes that may suggest that you are at greater risk of having side effects or a greater chance of benefiting from certain medications. Individuals in this study will participate for roughly 9 months.
This project is funded by Department of Health. We will run a quitline which provides telephone smoking cessation counseling to youth smokers aged 25 or below. After baseline counseling based on trans-theoretical model, follow-up counseling will be provided by trained counselors (i.e. nursing students or students from other healthrelated disciplines) at 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. It is expected that the quitline can assist youth smokers to quit smoking, thus saving the healthcare cost attributed to smoking in long-term.
Survivors of sexual violence are particularly vulnerable to develop psychological as well as physical health problems, Burundian children and adolescents being at elevated risk. Psychosocial care, and trauma-focused interventions, nevertheless, are near absent in Burundi. The purpose of this project is to ameliorate psychosocial care for survivors of sexual violence in strengthening health care competencies by implementing evidence-based intervention strategies. We intend to develop an approach identifying particularly vulnerable children and adolescents and testing a preventive family-oriented psychotherapeutic approach. The latter aims at reducing stigmatization and at promoting the processing of the event within families. The project involves two cohorts, which are assessed enrolling them in the study, during a three-months and a 12-months follow-up.
This study aims to verify the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based elder care (MBEC) therapy developed by McBee (2008) in improving the psychological and spiritual well-being of seniors with disabilities living in residential long-term care institutions in Taiwan.
Despite the knowledge, that children of mentally ill parents are an important target group to be addressed by preventive and therapeutical interventions, there is often a lack of structured implementation of family-oriented interventions in clinical practice in Germany. Using a randomized controlled multicenter trial design with a large and wide-ranging sample (clinics for adult psychiatry and clinics for child and adolescent psychiatry, university clinics and clinics at the real health care) will examine changes in family-oriented practice and aspects of implementation to get a robust understanding of implementing family-oriented interventions in German clinical practice.
