NCT ID: NCT06113588 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Transition of Care in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Start date: June 9, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This research project seeks to address the question of how to improve the transition of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus from the paediatric to the adult health service at RNSH and Mona Vale Community Health Centre (seeking the perspectives of patients, families, and staff)?

NCT ID: NCT05520983 Enrolling by invitation - Depression Clinical Trials

BEhavioral Health Stratified Treatment (BEST) Study for Youth With Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (IDD)

BEST
Start date: September 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Many youth with disabilities and their families receive "care coordination services" from a state Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) agency. MCHB care coordination services help youth with disabilities get the medical care and social services they need to be healthy. Complex HEalth Care for Kids (CHECK) developed a program to combine mental health treatment and care coordination services for youth with disabilities. The goal of this study is to see whether a care coordination program that treats depression and anxiety (MCHB care coordination + CHECK) is better than a care coordination program (MCHB care coordination alone) that refers youth to mental health services in terms of making youth feel healthier, happier, and able to handle future challenges. The project team will test which care coordination approach is better at making youth with disabilities: (Aim 1) less anxious and depressed; (Aim 2) feel healthier, function better, and practice healthy habits; (Aim 3) improve their ability to manage their health. This study will also evaluate which approach makes (Aim 4) youth, caregivers, and providers feel more satisfied with their care coordination experience. This study will give youth with disabilities and their families information about what kinds of care coordination models are available, and better suited to their needs. The study team will reach out to 780 youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, age 13-20 years old, who receive care coordination services from the state of Illinois MCHB. If these youth are eligible and agree to be in the study, they will be placed, by chance, into either MCHB care coordination alone or into the MCHB care coordination + CHECK program. In both groups, youth will have a care coordinator who helps them identify and make plans to meet their needs and provides referrals to services/resources. Youth in the MCHB care coordination + CHECK care coordination will get mental health treatment directly from CHECK staff if they report symptoms of depression or anxiety. Treatment may include an online program or group meetings that teach youth how to cope with negative thoughts and feelings. Youth in each group will be followed for 24 months and will receive gift cards for participating. Youth will be asked questions about anxiety and depression, health, functioning, ability to manage their health care, self-efficacy, and their experience with care coordination.

NCT ID: NCT05413278 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Inborn Errors of Metabolism

Targeted Interventions for Successful Transition and Transfer of Adolescents With Inborn Errors of Metabolism to Adult Services

Start date: January 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Main aims of this project are - To assess the baseline status-quo of transition and "fitness for transfer" in terms of information about the adult centre and team, organisational and practical skills (blood sampling and sending, how to make an appointment etc.), disease- and treatment-related knowledge, health-related quality of life (HrQoL), and self-efficacy in adolescnets with inborn errors of metabolism. Biochemical or physical parameters as appropriate for the respective diseases from 12 months before are documented. - To provide targeted, structured intervention modules (using available and, if necessary, adapted materials). - To measure the effects of these interventions on information about adult services short-term (within a month) and to re-assess all other baseline status-quo parameters long-term (6 and 12 months later). Psychological assessments will be complemented by biochemical or physical parameters as appropriate for the respective diseases and indicative for transition success.

NCT ID: NCT05405322 Active, not recruiting - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Improving Care and Community Representation for Adolescents and Young Adults Living With HIV in West Africa

TRANSITIONS
Start date: April 7, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Context: HIV-positive young people aged 15 to 24 are a heterogeneous population in terms of gender, age, mode of transmission, sexual orientation and risk-taking. This most vulnerable age group is at greater risk of disruption of medical care and poor compliance, and has greater needs for psychosocial support and differentiated health services. It remains highly invisible in West African countries, both in the definition of care policies and in the allocation of resources and community representation. Objectives: The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of retention in care, health and well-being of adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAHIV) and to support their integration into the community space. SO1: Support the operationalisation of the transition of HIV-infected adolescents from paediatrics to adult medical services in a stakeholder inclusive, participatory and responsive approach SO2: Contribute to the empowerment and autonomy of adolescents and young adults living with HIV in the project environment SO3: Contribute to the generation and dissemination of evidence-based information and recommendations on the situation and needs of adolescents and young adults, including key populations, living with HIV Target: Approximately 67 caregivers∙e∙s ≥ 25 years old, of which 64%F, 30 peer-referent associations of 20-24 years old (ratio F/H= 1:1), 700 AYAHIV ≥ 15 years old, of which 47%F, in paediatrics and 500-600 AYAHIV aged 15-24 years old in adult medicine, of which 41%F, and including AYAHIV associations Summary of activities: Based on the capitalisation and pooling of experiences of partner teams, the project proposes to support the implementation of transition in a pragmatic approach, adapted to the needs of adolescents and inclusive of carers, adolescents and community peers. More globally, it contributes to improving the health, empowerment and autonomy of HIV-positive youth, including key populations, in particular through support to training, structuring and community representation of youth associations, documentation of the conditions of entry into care and their specific needs, including digital health, production and availability of evidence and recommendations in this West African context and advocacy building. A multidisciplinary and participatory research-action project, carried out by the IRD in Senegal and financed by Sidaction, accompanies the three specific objectives of the project.

NCT ID: NCT05221281 Active, not recruiting - Ulcerative Colitis Clinical Trials

Implementing a Multimodal RCT Intervention to Improve the Transition of Patients With Crohn's Disease From Pediatric to Adult Care

Start date: February 25, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Transition in care is defined as the "purposeful and planned movement of adolescents and young adults with a chronic medical condition from pediatric to adult-oriented healthcare systems/care providers." Currently, there is no Level 1 evidence of an intervention to improve the care of transitioning adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The development of a transition program using a biopsychosocial approach will improve the standards for healthcare delivery to transitioning IBD patients. This is a protocol for a structured randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy and impact of a multimodal intervention focused on improving patient function, transition readiness and outcomes among AYA patients with IBD being cared for at pediatric centers in Canada. Methods: This multi-center RCT is a type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to evaluate effectiveness of the intervention and how it can be implemented more widely after the trial. We will include patients aged 16.0 to 17.5 years. The intervention program consists of 4 core components: 1) individualized assessment, 2) transition navigator, 3) virtual patient skills-building with a focus on building resilience, self-management and self-efficacy, and 4) a virtual structured education program. The control group will undergo standard-of-care defined by each participating center. The primary outcome will be the IBD Disability Index, a validated measure to assess patient functioning. Secondary outcomes include transition readiness, anxiety and depression scales, and health service utilization rates. Additionally, we will identify the effectiveness of an evidence-based implementation approach and related barriers and facilitators for the intervention program. Discussion: The type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design will allow us to develop a feasible, sustainable, and acceptable final intervention model. The intervention will consist of modules that can be accessed in an online, virtual platform. The implementation will not depend on individual hospital resources, allowing centralization of interventions and funding. The authors anticipate that the main study limitation will relate to study subjects not completely adhering to every component of the intervention, which will be evaluated and addressed using the implementation science approach.

NCT ID: NCT04631965 Active, not recruiting - Diabetes Clinical Trials

Healthcare Transition of Adolescents With Chronic Health Conditions

Start date: September 1, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

At least 12% of children have a chronic disease that requires regular medical follow-up after patients reach legal maturity. This international study aims to provide prospective evidence for improving health and wellbeing outcomes in this population. The primary hypothesis is that transition readiness will be more strongly associated with adherence to follow-up, fewer emergency visits and continued education than disease severity or chronological age. The secondary hypothesis is that positive experiences of care will be associated with lower levels of anxiety. Positive care experiences and low anxiety will predict better health-related quality of life during the transition period. A cohort of 504 young patients will be followed for three years. Patients have been recruited from pediatric hospitals 0-12 months prior to the transfer of care and follow-up will be completed after the patients have been followed for two years in adult healthcare.

NCT ID: NCT04434742 Completed - Transition Clinical Trials

The Effects of a Health-social Partnership Program for Discharged Non-frail Older Adults

Start date: June 19, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Previous studies supporting discharged patients are hospital-based which admission criteria tend to include mainly those with complex needs and/or specific disease conditions. This study captured the service gap where these non-frail older patients might have no specific medical problem upon discharge but they might encounter residual health and social issues when returning home.

NCT ID: NCT04351425 Not yet recruiting - Length of Stay Clinical Trials

Early Weaning of Preterm Newborn From Incubator to Cot at 1400 Grams

Start date: April 16, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: To maintain the body temperature of preterm newborns is one of the essential criteria for discharge from hospital. Aim: we aimed to assess the feasibility and the safety of an early weaning protocol from incubator to unheated cot at 1400 g preterm newborns. Methods: This was a randomized control trial with preterm neonates with birth weights < 1400 g conducted at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We compared newborns weaned to cot at a weight of 1400 g to newborns weaned at a weight of 1600 g. The outcome was to assess the feasibility of the protocol in terms of temperature control and average weight gain. Results: A total of 23 preterm neonates were recruited in this study. The baseline characteristics were similar except for the gestational age was higher in the newborns enrolled to 1400 g group. Early weaning was achieved in 100% of newborns without significant adverse effects on temperature stability or weight gain. Incidence of low and high temperatures per newborn and the average weight gain before and after transfer and after transfer were not different between the two groups. Conclusion: Our results showed the feasibility and safety of 1400 g weaning protocol for preterm newborns, without any adverse effects or increasing the neonatal length of hospital stay. Further investigations in larger patient groups are recommended.

NCT ID: NCT04249960 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Psychiatric Disorder

Sustain and Reinforce the Transition From Child to Adult Mental Health Care in Switzerland : A Monocentric Nested Cohort Randomized Controlled Trial: The SORT Study.

SORT
Start date: October 9, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Disruption of care during transition from child and adolescent mental health (CAMHS) to adult mental health services (AMHS) may adversely affect the health and well-being of service users. Indeed, transition-related discontinuity of care is a major health and societal challenge today. Current evidences show that this transition is not always properly managed and that improving the transition process can have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of young people. Nevertheless, data available are still inconsistent and only few studies investigated possible models aimed at improving and operationalize the transition. At present, no information concerning the transition in the Geneva Canton is available. According to this lack of evidence, the current study aims at: 1) mapping the CAMHS/AMHS interface; 2) evaluating the longitudinal course and outcomes of adolescents approaching the transition boundary (TB) of their CAMHS; 3) determining the effectiveness of an experimental model of managed transition in improving outcomes, compared with usual care; 4) comparing these results with those of the EU funded MILESTONE study from several other European countries. The investigators will recruit all patients aged ≥ 16 years and 6 months from the Geneva Canton in charge at CAMHS and they will follow them for up to 24 months. CAMHS will be instructed to provide all their service users at the time of transition either usual care or a novel service called "Managed Transition", which will include the use of a new decision support tool, the Transition Readiness and Appropriateness Measure (TRAM). A nested cohort Randomised Controlled Trial (ncRCT) design will be applied to divide patients into the two groups. The health and wellbeing of the young people will be assessed at baseline and then followed-up for 24 months to see whether they transition to AMHS or are discharged or referred to some other service. The investigators will then evaluate what impact the different transition experiences have on young people's health and wellbeing, and whether the process of Managed Transition has any benefits as compared to usual care.
