Filter by:Poor engagement in care contributes to HIV- and TB-related morbidity and mortality in South Africa (SA). Community health workers (CHWs) are frontline lay health workers who work to re-engage patients who are lost to follow-up (LTFU) in HIV/TB care. Patients with depression and substance use (SU) have a greater likelihood of being LTFU in HIV/TB care, and there is evidence that CHWs may exhibit stigma towards these patients. When CHWs have negative attitudes towards these patients, on average they spend less time with these patients, are less likely to implement evidence-based practices, and deliver less patient-centered care. Therefore, this purpose of this study is to examine the implementation and preliminary effectiveness of a brief training ("Siyakhana"). The purpose of this training is to provide CHWs with psychoeducation, skills, and support around working with HIV/TB patients with depression/SU. The investigators will assess the training's implementation and changes in CHWs' stigma towards HIV/TB patients with depression/SU.
The investigators will conduct a waitlist control trial to test the efficacy of the Journey of Transformation-Native Youth Health Leadership Program (JOT) in terms of delaying or reducing tobacco and other substance use and improving sexual health.
The aim of the study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the TAPS-tool. This will be investigated in 2 groups: patients without intellectual disabilities treated in Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) teams and patients with intellectual disabilities. For the later group, an adjusted version of the TAPS-tool will be developed. For both groups the TAPS outcome will be compared to a golden standard.
The goal of the current study is to evaluate the bioavailability of CBD in normal healthy Individuals. This is an open cross-overdesign study in healthy individuals to assess the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) effects of cannabidiol.
The overall purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of values-based behavioral activation (BA) as an adjunct intervention for patients receiving medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) in primary care. Researcher will evaluate the following aims: 1) examine the feasibility of BA for OUD in primary care, 2) examine whether the BA intervention and study requirements are acceptable to participants, and 3) determine the psychometric properties of the outcome measures in people with OUD. Participants will complete 4-6 brief counseling sessions over the course of 12 weeks. During the first session, participants will discuss values and recovery outcomes important to them. Next, they will set 2-3 personal goals to work on before the next BA session. At the follow-up sessions, participants will update the counselor on progress made or challenges experienced. Personal values will be reviewed and participant goals updated. Study measures (surveys and urine drug tests) will be completed at the start, partway through, and at the end of the intervention.
The main goal of this current study is to develop and optimize methods for increasing access to, uptake of, and engagement in MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) among communities of color.
The Health and Resilience Project (HARP): Foundations is investigating the efficacy of the Strong African American Families (SAAF) intervention in promoting the health and well being of African American adolescents. Youth age 10-13 and their primary caregivers are randomly assigned to receive SAAF or to a control group. Participants complete baseline and follow-up measures regarding vulnerability to substance use based on a neuroimmune model of stress coping.
A Phase 1, Single Dose, Open-label, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Study of LYN-014 in Individuals with Opioid Use Disorder Who are Stable on Methadone Therapy
The proposed study is a clinical trial, designed to pilot test a Distress Tolerance-Benzodiazepine Discontinuation (DT-BD) intervention for patients on opioid agonist therapy (OAT) who currently use benzodiazepines versus a Relaxation Therapy (RT) control condition. The DT-BD intervention is an adjunctive psychosocial intervention in people seeking to discontinue (BZD) use.
The aims of the current study are to: Aim 1. Develop and refine a novel intervention protocol for individuals receiving medication treatment for opioid use disorder that assertively links them to recovery community centers; Aim 2. Determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of assertive linkage to recovery community centers relative to a matched control condition, via a pilot randomized controlled trial; Aim 3. Explain quantitative findings by gaining an in-depth understanding of the intervention's feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy via qualitative interviews.
