Testing Decision Aids to Improve Prostate Cancer Decisions for Minority Men
This randomized phase III trial studies how well decision aids work in improving knowledge in patients with prostate cancer. Decision aids may improve patients' knowledge of their condition and options for treatment, and may also help when talking with their doctor.

Video Information Provider for HIV-Associated Non-AIDS (VIP-HANA) Symptoms
The purpose of this study is to use technology to improve symptom status and ultimately improve patient centered outcomes in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The primary purpose of the intervention (VIP-HANA) is to improve symptom status. The investigators hypothesize that VIP-HANA will improve symptom frequency and intensity.

Effect of Supplementation of Bioactive Compounds on the Energy Metabolism of People Living With HIV / AIDS
Among the many changes associated with the impact of HIV and the long-term use of antiretroviral therapy, metabolics are important because they are important risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the supplementation of curcumin, on the oxidation of resting energetic substrates in HIV / AIDS patients. The sample will be composed of adults living with HIV / AIDS on antiretroviral therapy for at least 6 months. Supplements will be made separately for 30 days and will be evaluated before and after the intervention the following parameters: body composition, energy metabolism, biochemical parameters and a structured anamnesis. Food consumption and the level of physical activity of the volunteers will be controlled.

Comparative Effectiveness of Encounter Decision Aids for Early-Stage Breast Cancer Across Socioeconomic Strata
What Matters Most is a study that aims to determine how best to help women of lower socioeconomic status make high-quality decisions about early stage breast cancer treatments. What Matters Most will be comparing two decision aids used in the clinic visit to usual care (what normally happens in the clinic). The first decision aid (Option Grid) presents evidence-based information about lumpectomy and mastectomy in a tabular format using text only. The second decision aid (Picture Option Grid) presents evidence-based information about lumpectomy and mastectomy using pictures, pictographs and simplified text. What Matters Most aims to show that the interventions can reduce disparities in decision-making and treatment choice between women of high and low SES.

Quality Control of CE-Certified Phonak Hearing Aids - 2017_13
A methodical evaluation of new CE-labelled Phonak Hearing Systems is intended to be conducted on hard of participants with a hearing loss to grant quality control prior to product launch. The aim of the investigation series is to ensure usability, zero-defect overall performance of the new hearing systems as well as maximum benefit for the participant with the devices in comparison to previously outstanding Phonak Hearing Systems.

Investigating the Impact of Hearing Aid Use and Auditory Training on Cognition, Mood and Social Interaction in Older Adults With Hearing Loss
Sensorineural type of hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit among older adults. Some of the psychosocial consequences of this condition include difficulty in understanding speech, depression and social isolation. Studies have shown that older adults with hearing loss show some age-related cognitive decline. There is no clinically proven method to predict the onset of this condition, as its occurrence is slow and progressive, affecting both ears equally. Although hearing aid use and auditory training have been proven as successful interventions to alleviate sensorineural hearing loss, no research has been designed to look at the effect of both hearing aid use coupled with auditory training on cognitive performance in older adults. This study will investigate whether wearing hearing aids will improve the impact of auditory training on cognition, mood and social interaction for older adults with sensorineural hearing loss. This is a crossover trial targeting older adults between 50 and 90 years with either mild or moderate symmetric sensorineural hearing loss. Consented, willing participants will undergo a six month intensive auditory training program (active control), as a rigorous means of examining the impact hearing aid use has on a person's cognition, mood and social interaction. Participants will be assigned in random order to receive hearing aid (intervention) for either the first three or last three months of the six month auditory training program. Each participant will be tested at baseline, three and six months on a battery of computer based cognitive assessments, together with mood, and social engagement measures. Effectiveness of hearing aids and auditory training will be evaluated using an online speech perception test (SPT) and the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) Inventory. This study will investigate whether using a hearing aid coupled with auditory training can improve a person's cognition and learning abilities, relationships with family and friends, and quality of life. Results from the study will inform strategies for aural rehabilitation, hearing aid delivery and future hearing loss intervention trials.

Impact of Decision Aids on Breast Cancer Surgery Choice: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Both simple mastectomy and breast conservation therapy (BCT) with radiotherapy yield similar survival rates in breast cancer. These two treatment strategies have diverted cosmetic outcome and convenience. Thus, shared decision making (SDM) is necessary to aid patients to choose an appropriate treatment that suits thier needs. We have developed a decision aids (DAs) and plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate its impact on cancer patients. The measurements include a battery of interview-based questionnaires and evaluations of decision regret and postsurgical depression. We expect the DAs would benefit the intervention group in the aspects of knowledge, communication and anxiety status during and after thier treatment sessions.
