Filter by:Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) describes a collection of physical, mental, and behavioral disabilities that result from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Individuals with FASD often struggle with self-regulation, or the ability to control thoughts, emotions and actions, which can lead to many long-term problematic life circumstances. This study aims to improve self-regulation abilities in adolescents, aged 11-17, with FASD using a targeted intervention. Researchers adapted the Alert Program®, a developed intervention targeting self-regulation in children, to be appropriate for an adolescent FASD population. Participants are split into two groups: an FASD intervention group, and an FASD waitlist group. These groups are compared on a variety of measures. These measures include cognitive measures (executive functioning, response conflict, inhibitory control, etc), behavioural measures (self-regulation, adaptive behaviour, etc), and physiological measures (cortisol and sleep). The FASD intervention group will be tested at baseline and once after the intervention, and lastly after an approximately 12-week wait following the intervention. The FASD waitlist group will be tested at baseline, after a three month wait period, and again after receiving the intervention. The investigators expect that the Alert program® will lead to significant improvements in participant's self-regulation abilities as evidenced by cognitive, behavioural, and physiological changes. Improving self-regulation in adolescents with FASD will reduce the high level of adverse outcomes experienced by adolescents with FASD, and help them have a successful transition into adulthood.
The aim of this trial is to test a novel network approach (Bringmann et al., 2013), which enables to investigate the complex, interdependent network of self-control and its influences in everyday life. By adding an intervention to the network, such as mindfulness training, it is also possible to explore the way mindfulness changes connection strengths between network variables. For six weeks, an ambulatory assessment and additional seven weekly laboratory sessions are conducted with 120 students from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz who are randomized to a control (n=60) or intervention condition (n=60). Pre and post measurement sessions take place to assess self-reported trait self-control and mindfulness and a behavioral measure of mindfulness (Levinson, Stoll, Kindy, Merry & Davidson 2014). Participants of both the experimental and control condition come to five weekly lab meetings in which they fill out questionnaires to assess changes in self-reported self-control and mindfulness. But only participants of the experimental condition take part in weekly computer based mindfulness trainings. During the ambulatory assessment, participants complete questionnaires six times a day via mobile phones that are randomly prompted and answer questions about state self-control, motivation, affect, and current situation.
The purpose of this project is to study whether a mindfulness-based training program supports self-regulation, resiliency, effective classroom behaviors, and persistence in teaching.
The investigators have developed an eHealth intervention based on self-regulation for the promotion of self-regulation of physical activity and fruit and vegetable intake among adults who visit general practice. Effectiveness of the intervention will be evaluated in a three-arm clustered quasi-experimental design in general practice.
In response to the high prevalence rates of childhood obesity in central Ohio, the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition (CHWN) established the Primary Care Obesity Network (PCON); a partnership between primary care physicians and Nationwide Children's Hospital's Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition, a tertiary care obesity center, the first of its kind in Ohio. The overall goal of PCON is to bring an effective and user friendly obesity management program to the community physician's office to prevent and treat the growing number of obese children in the setting of the private office. The predominant nutrition messaging approach to tackling childhood obesity has revolved around the food choices and portion sizes. While this is relevant, an area with significant potential for impact for maintaining optimal growth and a healthy weight for young children is addressing feeding behaviors and self-regulation of intake;. - the "how" of eating. The investigators objective it to investigate whether this self-regulation approach can be employed for an older age group of 6-11 years old.
The purpose of the project is to investigate the function of self-regulatory processes in anesthesiologists and how application of these processes influence performance in a crisis situation.The investigators intend to explore specifically the first phase of self-regulation, i.e. the forethought phase which describes processes related to strategic planning, goal setting, goal orientation, and outcome expectation. The investigators hypothesize that prompting forethought before engaging in a simulated massive transfusion crisis situation will result in better task performance in anesthesiologists.
