Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a comprehensive mental health counseling program purposed to address the social determinant of health impacts of the coronavirus disease of2019 (COVID-19). The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: 1) What are the mental and social determinant of health impacts of a COVID-19 diagnosis, and 2) What are the impacts of a counseling program implemented to address those impacts? Participants will participate in individual interviews, attend individual and group counseling, and be provided resources related to their social determinants of health needs.
Investigators report on the impact of the COVID-19 stay-at-home order concerning penetrating violence and its association within different socioeconomic regions within the county. The distribution and volume of violent offenses prior to the stay-at-home order was compared to during the stay-at-home order. This bears a crucial significance in our injury prevention and education efforts within our community.
The proposed multicomponent digital health intervention has the potential to significantly impact the trajectory of maternal health in a rural, pregnant, Black adolescent population with the highest risks for cardiometabolic diseases worldwide. The proposed implementation strategy leverages mobile technologies which are ubiquitous across the socioeconomic gradient and proposes to train young adult WIC moms to deliver peer health coaching in a telehealth setting to address social barriers and support behavior change in pregnant, Black adolescent WIC clients in the Mississippi Delta - a rural region where the population is more than two-thirds percent Black and the teen birth rate is the highest in the United States. This is a scalable and sustainable approach to enhance WIC services and improve WIC's impact on population health and cardiometabolic health disparities in Black women.
This study aims to identify the influence of social determinants of health domains on vascular function in a low income, racial, and ethnic minority population at risk for disparities. We hypothesize that individuals of a lower social economic position and those struggling with depression are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effect of screening patients in Penn Medicine Emergency Departments for eligibility of public benefits programs and using text messages post-discharge to connect patients to benefits enrollment specialists at Benefits Data Trust (BDT). Eligible patients will be randomly selected to receive text messages for two weeks after Emergency Department discharge with the phone number to speak with a benefits enrollment specialist at BDT. The number of calls to the BDT phone line and the number of submitted applications to public benefits programs will be compared between patients receiving a summary flyer with the phone number for BDT and the text message intervention to connect with BDT in comparison to an active control group who receives only a summary flyer with the phone number for BDT.
Our parent award compares two patient-centered methods to facilitate KT evaluation: kidney transplant fast track (FT), a streamlined KT evaluation process; and peer navigators (PN), a peer assisted evaluation program that incorporates motivational interviewing. This pragmatic randomized trial uses a comparative effectiveness approach to assess whether FT or PN can help patients overcome barriers to transplant listing. The aims of the parent study are to: (1) compare FT and PN to assess improvements in kidney transplant (KT) related outcomes and cost effectiveness; (2) examine how each approach effects changes in cultural/contextual factors, concerns about, and ambivalence to KT; and (3) develop a framework for widespread implementation of either approach. Recent guidelines encourage using PhenX toolkit measures for kidney-disease research and clinical data reporting, but research to date has been limited by cross sectional or retrospective analyses, and incomplete or missing data on key variables, and show limited clinical application or interventions. In addition to the several PhenX individual social determinants of health (SDOH) already collected for the parent award, we propose to add PhenX structural SDOH, including concentrated poverty, food swamp, race/ethnic segregation, and social vulnerability, to our baseline data collection for all 398 patient participants under the proposed administrative supplement. Also, we will add a third assessment to determine how and whether the intervention affected post-transplant outcomes. We will follow patients via their medical records through receipt of KT to determine time to receive transplant (from time evaluation started), and type of transplant received (living or deceased donor KT). At ~6 months post-KT, participants will complete a third interview to assess KT patient reported outcomes, including health-related quality of life (QOL) and satisfaction with service.
1. Implementation of an Advanced Connected Transportation Network (ACTiN), a novel, collaborative multinetwork transportation model for small cities and rural areas. 2. Evaluation of effectiveness in improving transportation assets for clients of a community-based nonprofit specializing in addressing social determinants of health (Lighthouse Community Health Services in Lynchburg, VA). 3. Simultaneous evaluation of wellness metrics based on the standards of the CMS Annual Wellness Visit and metrics associated with common chronic diseases.
Generation Victoria (GenV) is a longitudinal, population-based study of Victorian children and their parents that will bring together data on a wide range of conditions, exposures and outcomes. GenV blends study-collected, study-enhanced and linked data. It will be multi-purpose, supporting observational, interventional, health services and policy research within the same cohort. It is designed to address physical, mental and social issues experienced during childhood, as well as the antecedents of a wide range of diseases of ageing. It seeks to generate translatable evidence (prediction, prevention, treatments, services) to improve future wellbeing and reduce the future disease burden of children and adults. The GenV Cohort 2020s is open to all babies born over a two-year period, and their parents, residing in the state of Victoria Australia. The GenV Cohort 2020s is preceded by an Advance Cohort of babies born between 5 Dec 2020 and 3 October 2021, and their parents. This comprises all families recruited at GenV's Vanguard hospital (Joan Kirner Women's and Children's) and at birthing hospitals throughout Victoria as GenV scaled up to commence recruiting for the GenV Cohort 2020s. The Advance Cohort have ongoing and full participation in GenV for their lifetime unless they withdraw but may have less complete data and biosamples.
The objective of the proposed study is to scale social risk factor screening and referral for cancer survivors and to solidify information exchange between clinical and community settings in order to improve survivor health and well-being. This will be completed through three primary aims: 1) To ascertain workflow and map community resources needed to facilitate social risk factor screening and referral for breast and prostate cancer survivors in Washington, District of Columbia. 2) To determine impact of Community Health Worker (CHW) support on Black breast and prostate cancer survivor health and wellbeing as measured through quality of life (QOL) and social connection. 3) To determine impact of anti-racism training for staff and clinicians at three cancer centers on patient-reported discrimination.
