Exploration of the Relationship Between Mobile Phone Addiction and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, a Cross-sectional Study
A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect the relevant data of college students' mobile phone addiction and FGIDs (IBS, FD) in the form of questionnaire, so as to understand the situation of college students' mobile phone addiction and the incidence of FGIDs (IBS and FD), and explore the correlation, so as to provide new ideas and scientific basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of FGIDs among college students.

Tobacco Concurrent Addictions in At-Risk Youth in Ottawa: A Mixed Methods Community-Based Participatory Action Research Project (TCAY- Ottawa)
According to the 2015 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey (OSDUHS), there has been a significant increase in the number of secondary school youth who use poly-substances. Not all youth have the same risk for problematic substance use. Health literature documents a high level of comorbidity between mental health and substance use, which is exacerbated in homeless youth populations. Therefore, the proposed study will focus on understanding poly-substance use among at-risk homeless school youth. As seen in substance use research and the PROMPT (2016) study (Participatory Research in Ottawa: Management and Point-of-Care for Tobacco Dependence, PI: Dr. Smita Pakhale), reduction and quitting of one substance (tobacco smoking) can lead to the reduction and quitting of other poly-substance use. A Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) approach can help at-risk youth feel safe and comfortable enough to provide personal information about their poly-substance use and engagement with treatment or harm reduction programs. This project will be a first step in increasing health equity among at-risk homeless youth in Downtown Ottawa. The investigators aim to follow a group of at-risk youth to while providing an appropriately modified PROMPT intervention, including peers support and a licensed mental health and substance use nurse.

How Much Does Technology Addiction in Youth Affect Academic Achievement, Musculoskeletal System and Quality of Life?
The increasing use of technological devices such as mobile phones and computers has become indispensable elements of daily life. Especially students are one of the groups that use communication tools most with the developing technology. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of technology addiction on academic achievement, musculoskeletal system and quality of life in young people.
NCT04790721 — Quality of Life
Status: Completed
http://inclinicaltrials.com/quality-of-life/NCT04790721/
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the group psycho-education program which is prepared as "cognitive behavioural-based", on college students' smartphone dependency levels. The research will be carried out on students studying at a private foundation University in 2019-2020 academic year. In this study, pre-test-final Test control group and follow-up measured experimental pattern will be used to determine the effect of Psycho-education program on smartphone dependency levels of college students. A Personal Information Form and Smartphone Dependency scale will be applied to students who agree to participate in the study. By analysing the data results obtained from the data collection tools and passing the determined limit value, 94 people will be randomly selected, including 47 experiments and 47 control groups, from those who scored high on the smartphone dependency scale through the SPSS program using the power analysis method. Students will be informed about cognitive behavioural based psychoeducation and will be asked if they wish to participate in the training. Psychoeducation Practice 1 day per week, 60-90 min. sessions will take 8 weeks. At the end of the training, the final test will be applied to the experimental and control group. 3rd and 6th month follow-up measurements are planned to be carried out intermittently at the end of the month. In the literature, it is observed that the number of intervention studies is very small, and no clear conclusions have been reached. In addition, the treatment of smartphone addiction in Turkey with cognitive-behavioural approach-based group psychoeducation program has not been studied before. In our country, where smartphone addiction is increasing every day, the importance of intervention efforts in this area is clear. It is anticipated that the intervention study on addiction reduction will be supportive for researchers and will be beneficial for people who need support for smartphone addiction. In this respect, it is thought that it will be a guiding work for future clinical and academic studies.

Enhancing Exercise and Psychotherapy to Treat Pain and Addiction in Adults With an Opioid Use Disorder (EXPO): A Randomized Pilot Trial
The purpose of this pilot trial is to determine the feasibility of integrating exercise and psychotherapy that is specifically targeted to reducing and managing pain into residential drug treatment programs. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility (adherence) of integrating 'assisted' rate cycling, voluntary rate cycling and psychotherapy for pain (I-STOP) in participants with an opioid use disorder (OUD) and pain enrolled in residential drug treatment programs. The investigators will also explore the potential effects of 'assisted' rate cycling, voluntary rate cycling and I-STOP on pain, cravings, depression, anxiety, weight and sleep.

Comparison of Cervical Region Characteristics of People With Smartphone Addiction According to Gender
In healthy participantsng adults, the anterior tilt position of the head and consequently flattening of the cervical lordosis may results in impaired neutral posture of the spine during daily long-term computer etc. use with today's technology. In addition, the increasing use of smart phones may also promote this negative results. According to a study, the estimated total smartphone sales for 2012 was 660 million, but as of 2015, it is estimated that a total of one billion units worldwide. It is also thought that phone sales will continue to increase over the years, as it facilitates daily life activities. As a result of our literature review, the investigators have not come across a study that evaluates demographic information such as the duration of using smartphones or computers, cervical position sense, neck muscle strength, physical activity and general psychological status, which the investigators think may affect the performance of deep cervical flexor muscles in healthy participantsng adults. With this study, it will be ensured that more information about the factors affecting the performance of deep cervical flexor muscles will be determined in advance and necessary steps will be taken to prevent the factors that may cause neck problems in the future.

Do Flavors Increase the Addiction Potential of Nicotine?: A Pilot Laboratory Study
The FDA has concluded that flavors (e.g. menthol) are associated with greater addiction potential in tobacco cigarettes (Gottlieb March 13, 2019). Whether the same is true for e-cigarettes and non-menthol flavors is unclear and our study should help answer this question. Our major hypothesis is that the pharmacological effect of nicotine to induce addiction will be greater with use of a preferred e-cigarette flavor than with use of a non-preferred flavor. The pharmacological effect will be measured by how much a larger nicotine dose increases addiction potential compared to a smaller dose.

Application Based Addiction Treatment Adherence Trial: A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study is to test a smart phone based application (the App) that will allow patients to record their attendance at 12-step meetings. The smart phone application is an investigational (experimental) application that works by allowing patients to check in to meetings and tracks their location. This application uses features available in smartphone technology and will be tested on a small scale in order to ascertain interest and benefit in a controlled manner. The initial phase of this process is a test of concept, which poses the question of whether individuals in an office-based addiction treatment program will utilize the application to check in and out of meetings, and answer a brief questionnaire delivered via the app at the end of a meeting. In this phase, investigators will set the standard recommendation as attendance at a minimum of three meetings per week.
