Filter by:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 1 in 4 deaths in the US annually. Nutrition is an important part of prevention and management of CVD and other chronic diseases, but only about 25% of patients with a chronic disease diagnosis (and about 12% of patients without a chronic disease) receive nutrition counseling from their physician. The investigators plan to validate a diet questionnaire in preparation for the creation of a diet assessment/ intervention tool to increase rates of nutrition intervention in medical care. The aim of this project is to test whether the developed questionnaire accurately identifies individuals at high nutritional risk compared to the Healthy Eating Index- 2015 (HEI-2015) determined by a validated questionnaire.
The purpose of this project is to design a health management model of TCM preventive medicine that meets the need of healthy or suboptimal healthy people.

The objective of this study is to obtain additional data on the efficacy and safety of 12-week course of therapy with Anaferon for children for prevention of influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections in children during the peaks of seasonal morbidity.
Innovative and novel HIV prevention interventions are urgently needed for African American (AA) young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in the South, and in Mississippi in particular. HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a newer HIV prevention strategy that consists of a daily oral antiretroviral pill taken on an ongoing basis by HIV-uninfected but at-risk individuals. Although acceptability studies have demonstrated high interested in PrEP in the US, uptake remains limited. To date, studies of PrEP initiation have largely been limited to settings in which PrEP is provided free of charge. Barriers to PrEP initiation and retention in PrEP care in real world settings are likely more complex, since payment for PrEP can be a substantial financial burden. The ADAPT_ITT approach (an approach to adapting behavioral interventions to new populations: Assessment, Decision, Administration, Production, Topical Experts - Integration, Training, Testing) will be used to develop and pilot test a RAMP (Retain African American Men in PrEP) intervention that aims to promote PrEP adherence and retention in care in Jackson, MS and focuses on recruiting AA YMSM in a city with some of the highest HIV infection rates in the country. This study will include formative research to understand the cultural and social contexts that influence AA YMSM's PrEP use patterns and the acceptability of our proposed intervention. Results from these qualitative interviews will inform the study intervention which will be tested and refined in a dynamic open pilot evaluation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a systematic family assessment in adult preventive health visits increases the detection of risk factors in the spouse or adolescent child of the screened person.
