Filter by:Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) are a serious public health concern, particularly for youth involved in the juvenile justice system (JJS), which the Georgia State Juvenile Justice System (GAJJS) intends to address by the implementation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in its JJS facilities. This proposal aims to support and study the GAJJS' pilot implementation of DBT at its facilities using a mixed-methods cross-over design involving a three-phase clinical trial assessing the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of DBT-A adapted for youth in the GAJJS. By the end of the proposed project, the investigators will have (1) established a research team to continue researching SITB interventions in the GAJJS, (2) developed protocols for implementing and evaluating DBT-A adapted for the JJS delivered in person and via telehealth, and (3) preliminary data on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of DBT-A adapted for the JJS.
This is a placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the utility of Guanfacine Extended Release (GXR) in the management of patients with Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS) who have significant aggression or self-injury. The purpose of this trial is to establish the safety of GXR with a specific focus on metabolic effects.
My study will employ a convergent mixed methods two-arm parallel randomized controlled design. The qualitative strand will primarily rely on semi-structured interview procedures to answer the following questions: (1) How do adolescents perceive and experience the phenomenon of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI)? (2) What do adolescents believe needs to be done to address NSSI? The quantitative strand will primarily rely on clinical interview data, self-report measures, and an experimental task protocol to answer the following question: What is the impact of a brief mindfulness induction (versus a control condition) on self-injury attentional bias among self-injuring adolescents?
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a smartphone-assisted problem-solving therapy (PST) service across Emergency Departments in Ontario. A total of 25 Emergency Departments have been randomized to either usual care or the smartphone-assisted PST service intervention. The main cluster randomized controlled trial will use data collected from the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) to assess the impact of this service on suicides and re-presentations to hospital for self-harm as well as other health service use one-year post study launch.
The proposed study examines the effect of oral naltrexone on self-injurious behavior (SIB) in adolescents and adults of normal intelligence.
