African American children disproportionately experience racism, which is associated with behavioral health problems and school failure. Behavioral health problems impede learning and are more likely to be chronic, severe, disabling, and untreated in African Americans compared to Whites. Clinic-based interventions that boost cultural pride may improve outcomes related to behavioral health in young African American children. However, little is known about cultural pride interventions in this population. It is important to understand these processes in young children because early childhood is a period during which racial bias may develop and stymie behavioral health and learning, and cultural pride may support it. This project will recruit patients from primary care clinics in Los Angeles. The project will test a cultural pride intervention (Cultural Pride Reinforcement for Early School Readiness (CPR4ESR)) in young African American children. CPR4ESR provides culturally themed children's books and advice at health supervision visits of children enrolled at ages 2-4 years. It is based on a well-established national program called Reach Out and Read (ROR). ROR provides children's books and book-sharing advice at health supervision visits with reports of increased book-sharing behaviors and literacy. The specific aims of the proposed project are to: 1) assess the feasibility and acceptability of CPR4ESR implementation among parents and providers, 2) evaluate the capacity of CPR4ESR to improve cultural pride reinforcement and book-sharing behaviors in caregivers of young African American children, and 3) evaluate the capacity of CPR4ESR to improve behavioral health and literacy in young African American children. The interviews conducted in Aim 1 will guide refinement of the intervention tested in Aims 2 and 3. The mechanism by which CPR4ESR impacts behavioral health and literacy will be evaluated by statistical modeling. We hypothesize that: 1) caregivers who receive CPR4ESR will exhibit more CPR and book-sharing behaviors than those who do not, 2) children who receive CPR4ESR will exhibit better behavioral health and literacy than those who do not, and 3) increases in caregiver CPR and book-sharing behaviors will be associated with enhanced child behavior and literacy. This project will inform the development of interventions that address the negative health impact of racism on young African American children.
Care for America's Aging is a randomized pilot study investigating whether a home health aide training intervention consisting of enhanced dementia-specific curriculum content will improve: 1) behavioral symptoms of older adult persons living with dementia or cognitive impairment (PLWD/CI) and 2) global health-related quality of life among PLWD/CI and their care partners.
This study is set up to better understand the current use of psychedelics in France in the general population. The present focus on individuals who have used any type of psychedelic drug in order to suppress or alleviate a psychiatric symptom in the context of a diagnosed pathology. The data are collected during a semi-structured interview and then studied in a thematic analysis.
After devastating natural events such as earthquakes, individuals with special needs experience much more difficulties. There is a limited number of studies investigating the impact of disasters on individuals with autism. Studies show that resilience and recovery of pre-disaster functioning in young people with autism largely depends on their immediate inclusion in routine, intensive rehabilitation programs and the stabilization of daily life routines as much as possible. Children with autism had to interrupt their education due to many reasons such as the destruction of special education centers due to the earthquake and the temporary or permanent relocation of families to different cities. The fact that individuals with autism stayed away from education after the earthquake caused parents' stress and anxiety levels to increase. Parent involvement, a standard intervention practice in ASD, shows that teaching intervention strategies to parents can improve children's outcomes and increase parental effectiveness. Researchers aim in this study is to investigate the effect of the online group-based parent-mediated intervention program on autism symptoms, the effect on behavioral problems and the effect on parental mental health of children with autism spectrum disorder whose education life was interrupted 8 months after the earthquake, who had major changes in their lives (such as loss of relatives, loss of health, work, home, anxiety, having to change cities ...). Online group-based intervention program ist designed to improve the interaction, play, speech and learning skills of children with autism symptoms, taking into account the earthquake conditions.
This is an open phase III randomized clinical trial studying the superiority of management by immunomodulator treatment of psychiatric disorders (psychosis and bipolar disorders) for patients previously identified as carriers of autoimmunity such as as the presence of a pathogenic anti-glutamatergic NMDA receptor antibody (NMDAr-Ac).
The main objective of this study is to carry out the psychometric validation of the PERMA-Profiler in a population representative of the general French population and in comparison with the reference questionnaire The PERMA-Profiler.
Debate continues on whether or not male homosexuality (MH) is a result of biological or cultural factors. The debate persists despite the fact that these two sides have different abilities to create a scientific environment to support their cause. Biological theorists produced evidence, however, that these are not always robust. On the other hand, social theorists, without direct evidence confirming their positions, criticize, with good argument, methods and results of the other side.
The aim of this clinical study is to investigate whether CoMBI-SMI helps to reduce behavioral problems and psychiatric complaints in Serious Mental Illness (SMI) populations complaints and to reduce the burden on informal caregivers. It will also be examined whether there is an improvement in the quality of life of the participants. Participants are asked to complete two questionnaires. Then the participants receive treatment as is normally given in a clinical department. In particular, the caregivers will be asked to observe the behavior of the participants using a questionnaire and to follow a CoMBI-training to better tailor the treatment to the core needs of the participants. Comparisons will be made within the participant group because measurements take place before and after the procedure.
By longitudinal, prospective research in children and adolescents with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) and their parents to explore the beneficial effects of participating in a standardized intervention program in order to treat and reduce the consequences of early brain damage. By using elements from international programs based on psychoeducation and parent training, the investigators aim to help parents to better understand and respond to the neurodevelopmental disabilities of their children, and thereby improving behavioral problems and self-regulation deficits.
