Based on these considerations, this randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of a personalized visual oral health education program in addition to conventional education on oral hygiene by comparing changes in clinical periodontal parameters. Participants will get conventional oral hygiene education (COHE) with/without visual motivation using self oral photographs of patients. Researchers will compare Intervention group and control groups on oral hygiene by comparing changes in clinical periodontal parameters.
Studies support the idea that people diagnosed with social anxiety disorder score significantly lower on self-acceptance than healthy controls, and that self-compassion is inversely related to anxiety. Motivational interviewing has been shown to improve treatment outcomes as well as predict higher self-compassion and reduced resistance among participants.It also has the ability to increase the effectiveness of motivational interviewing as an intervention with perpetrators of intimate partner violence, promoting readiness for change and progression through stages of change. In this context, this study aims to examine the effect of motivational interviewing on social anxiety level, dating violence and self-compassion in nursing students with social anxiety.
Study 1 will use a novel Game Show task, in which the investigators manipulate participant's agency to control their learning environment to specify unguided exploration.
Participants will complete a treasure task during neuroimaging where they have to learn which keys open a treasure chest, and then they are tested on the contents of the treasure chest.
The primary research objective is to examine how uncertainty towards a new medical treatment changes in patients when a partner (can be any close other, i.e. romantic partner, family member, or a close friend) supports the new treatment choice and is willing to be involved in the patient's treatment. I hypothesize that when the patients know that their partner supports uptake of the new medical treatment and will physically accompany them to the visit, patients will (1) experience lower levels of uncertainty and (2) report a higher likelihood of participating in a new treatment in the future, as compared to patients who face the decision about the new treatment alone.
This study aims to assess the effect of mobile health (mHealth) support or financial incentives and their interactive intervention effect on smoking cessation (SC) in old smokers in Hong Kong (HK).
Recovery Resource Council (RRC) is one of the largest and most comprehensive non-profit mental and behavioral healthcare providers in North Texas. Accredited by the Joint Commission in Behavioral Health and licensed by the State of Texas as an Outpatient Treatment Center, RRC strives to promote wellness and recovery through a variety of services and programming. An important component of RRC programming is providing free counseling services to hundreds of U.S. veterans annually. While RRC observes great success for veterans who complete counseling, attendance can be a major obstacle. Veterans who approach RRC for individual counseling services and consent to participate will be randomly assigned to the treatment or control group. The control group will receive counseling as usual. The treatment group will receive $500 gift card payments upon completing their 6th, 12th, and 18th counseling sessions, i.e., $1,500 in gift cards for completing all 18 sessions, the usual prescribed length of therapy. Our primary focus is to examine the impact of the financial incentives on therapy attendance and attrition. In addition, the investigators will estimate the impact on mental health using mental health inventories collected over the course of therapy sessions.
Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) is a rare cannabinoid and is a homologue of THC that differs only in the length of the alkyl side chain (3C vs 5C, respectively). Pre-clinical and clinical trials have shown that THCV has medical potential as a neuroprotectant, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and most notably as a therapeutic to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients. Several THCV products are available in states with recreational cannabis. Anecdotal reports from adult cannabis users indicate that THCV provides an energizing, focusing and euphoric high-while still creating a lucid, uplifting experience. Additionally, unlike THC-dominant products, THCV was not reported to increase appetite. Other anecdotal comments referring to increased ability to focus for long periods of time and being more active were common. Given anecdotal evidence, which shows that THCV is activating and improving focus, this provides rationale and justification to conduct a clinical research study to further test and understand whether THCV improves motivation, focus, level of energy, and does not stimulate appetite in healthy adults.
