Filter by:The purpose of the study is to adapt, implement, and evaluate an effective theoretically-based, high school HIV prevention program,Safer Choices, for higher risk youth in alternative schools. Primary Research Question 1. Did the intervention reduce the number of occasions of unprotected sexual intercourse, number of sexual partners, and the proportion of students currently sexually active among those receiving the multiple component intervention relative to those students in the comparison group?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of drugs used by treatment providers on the fetuses and infants of opiate dependent women. The subjects in this study are women enrolled in a large, multi-site, double blind study that looks at the effects of methadone and buprenorphine treatment during pregnancy. This study will evaluate fetal and maternal biophysiologic data longitudinally during pregnancy to determine how these substances may affect fetal neurobehavior. Additionally, infant neurobehavioral assessments and measurements of infant vagal tone will be collected to see how methadone and buprenorphine differentially affect the neonatal abstinence syndrome, or "withdrawal" in exposed neonates.
This protocol is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of selected anti-infective agents in pregnant women being treated for suspected or documented infections.
We aim to evaluate whether IPT in pregnancy provides any additional benefit to the protection afforded by ITNs.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of tenofovir (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC)to a standard PMTCT regimen containing single-dose nevirapine (NVP) can reduce the development of post-ingestion HIV resistance to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).
Maternal death is a substantial burden in developing countries. In Bangladesh, recent studies have suggested that a large proportion of women giving birth in rural areas experience pregnancy and delivery related complications. This study, which is set in context where home-birth is the norm, provides the opportunity to provide descriptive information on the self-reported prevalence of maternal behaviors and morbidities during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum periods and to quantify the effects of provision of maternal care interventions through trained community health workers on a few selected maternal behaviors and morbidities.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of multivitamin supplementation on fetal loss, low birth weight and severe preterm birth in healthy (HIV negative) women.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the acceptance and effect of type- specific HSV serologic testing of pregnant women on sexual behavior at the end of pregnancy.
In women at 26 to 30 weeks gestation and who are risk for threatened early birth, who have not had their baby by 14 or more days after being given a single course of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS), do repeated courses of ACS every 14 days until 33 weeks' gestational age lower the risk of illness or death in babies compared to repeated courses of placebo. Children are assessed at 2 years and 5 years for neurodevelopmental impairment.
This study is undertaken to find out whether prophylactic antibiotics can decrease the infection rate in third and fourth degree perineal tear repairs done in the immediate postpartum period.
