NCT ID: NCT06275607 Recruiting - Aggression Clinical Trials

Maladaptive Anger Treatment

Start date: February 7, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

From a psychoevolutionary perspective, anger is a universal emotion that can serve the function of making us aware of wrongdoing and motivating us to undo/correct the wrongdoing. However, it is well recognized in clinical psychology that anger can be maladaptive, often causing distress and impairment in various areas of day-to-day life; untreated maladaptive anger has been found to raise the risk of certain physical health problems e.g., hypertension and coronary heart disease. At the very extreme, rage has been implicated in aggression and violence. Not surprisingly, there has been a widespread quest for anger treatments or what is popularly called "anger management". One treatment approach that has received increasing empirical support is Cognitive Behavioral Affective Therapy (CBAT), which has been applied to patients with chemical dependence and individuals with chronic pain. To extend this programmatic line of research, the proposed research aims to evaluate the efficacy of CBAT in reducing multiple (psychometric and self-monitored) measures of anger within a community sample.

A Virtual Reality Brief Violence Intervention: Preventing Gun Violence Among Violently Injured Adults

Start date: May 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall aim of the proposed project is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of Brief Violence Intervention-Virtual Reality (BVI-VR) for reducing firearm-related violence, re-injury, and mortality among victims of violence. Outcome measures of firearm-related violence will come from multiple sources, including criminal background checks, hospital data, state-level data, semi-structured clinical assessments, and self-report assessments. In addition, the study aims to understand the impact of BVI-VR on psychosocial mediators resulting in a reduction of firearm-related violence. This will include self-report surveys, neurocognitive assessments, and clinical assessments. The economic efficiency of BVI-VR as a firearm-related violence intervention will also evaluated. To achieve these aims, a randomized control trial (RCT) in a large sample of violently injured adults (18+ years) from VCU Health will be conducted.

Family Violence Intent in Emergency Departments: A Multicenter Study

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study addresses the growing issue of violence against healthcare professionals, particularly in emergency departments. It highlights the increasing prevalence of violence in healthcare settings worldwide, affecting over 50% of workers, with rates higher in developing countries. The text reviews factors contributing to violence, including poor communication, substandard care, and the stress experienced by patients' families. It notes that nearly 100% of emergency nurses face verbal or physical assaults. The research emphasizes the need to understand violence from the perspective of patients' families, a relatively unexplored area. By identifying the factors influencing their violent intentions, effective prevention measures can be developed, improving safety and working conditions for healthcare professionals.

Evaluation of Violence Prevention Strategies to Prevent and Reduce Community Levels of Youth Violence

Start date: February 16, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this research study is to implement and evaluate a comprehensive community-level approach, Healthy Communities for Youth, that includes both a selective hospital-based prevention strategy, Emerging Leaders, and universal prevention strategies that increase Positive Youth Development opportunities through participatory action research, stakeholder education, community mobilization, and an overall focus on increasing community capacity for prevention. Key project aims are to evaluate the impact of Healthy Communities for Youth on community rates of youth violence using surveillance data and evaluate the impact of each violence prevention strategy on proximal outcomes including their impact on risk factors and protective processes related to multiple forms of youth violence.

NCT ID: NCT06119984 Completed - Violence Clinical Trials

Community-based Intervention to Prevent Intimate Partner Violence in Rural Southwest, Nigeria

Start date: January 12, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Intimate partner violence is arguably the most prevalent, persistent and pernicious type of violence against women, all around the world. It also has significant repercussions for women's health, yet, in some parts of the world, considered an acceptable practice within intimate partner relationships. Community-based interventions, on the other hand, offer promises as a strategy that can get community members involved in working to prevent IPV. This study evaluated a community mobilisation intervention to challenge attitudes toward IPV and prevent violence within intimate relationships. Methods: This mixed-method randomised community trial was conducted in selected rural communities in Oyo State, Nigeria, between January 2018 and April 2021. It employed a six-month community mobilisation intervention focused on creating awareness and challenging harmful social norms relating to IPV. In-depth interviews, focus group discussions and two cross-sectional surveys were conducted among men and women of reproductive age who were married at baseline and end line to estimate changes in key outcomes. Difference-in-difference regression models were estimated to compare changes in IPV levels in the intervention and control arms. Conclusion: This trial should demonstrate the effectiveness of community mobilisation interventions to change attitudes supportive of IPV and prevent women's experience of IPV.

NCT ID: NCT06099262 Recruiting - Parenting Clinical Trials

GenPMTO Evaluation

Start date: September 11, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This project is a multi-stage evaluation of GenPMTO (Generation Parent Management Training - Oregon Model). GenPMTO is a parenting programme which involves trained practitioners using active teaching approaches (such as group problem-solving, role-play, and video modelling) to support caregivers in using positive parenting strategies at home. The programme is designed to improve parenting practices, as well as a range of outcomes for young people, including improving academic performance, reducing school exclusions, and reducing offending and criminal behaviour. The version of the programme investigated in this project is delivered to groups of parents.

NCT ID: NCT06062732 Recruiting - Violence Clinical Trials

Face It Evaluation

Start date: September 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This project is a pilot evaluation randomised controlled trial of Face It, a school-based intervention designed and implemented by Khulisa. Face It is specifically designed for young people at risk of offending, exploitation and school exclusion. The programme builds self-awareness and encourages pupils to reflect on the root causes and triggers of their disruptive or challenging behaviour. Khulisa believes that early intervention breaks the school to prison pipeline, which is exacerbated by exclusion, enabling young people to choose a safe and crime-free future. The intervention is delivered over 6 weeks, including an intensive 5-day programme of activities, and pre-programme and post-programme group and 1:1 sessions. Each programme is tailored to participants' needs and uses art, storytelling, 1:1 and group experiential techniques, delivered by trained dramatherapists. The randomised controlled trial will test the programme's feasibility, acceptability, evaluability, mechanisms and outcomes, to determine whether the trial should proceed to a full-scale efficacy trial through quantitative and qualitative data collection.

NCT ID: NCT06001554 Not yet recruiting - Violence Clinical Trials

Preventing Physical and Emotional Violence by Teachers in Public Schools in Pakistan

ICC-T_Pak
Start date: September 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Violence has severe and long-lasting negative consequences for children and adolescents' well-being and psychosocial functioning, thereby also hampering communities and societies' economic growth. Studies show high prevalence rates of violence by teachers against children in Pakistan. In addition to legal and structural factors (e. g. stressful working conditions for teachers), attitudes favoring violence against children as an effective and acceptable discipline method and the lack of access to alternative non-violent strategies are likely to contribute to teachers' ongoing use of violence against children. Notwithstanding, there are currently very few school-level interventions to reduce violence by teachers that a) have been scientifically evaluated and b) that focus both on changing attitudes towards violence and on equipping teachers with non-violent discipline strategies. Thus, the present study tests the effectiveness of the preventative intervention Interaction Competencies with Children - for Teachers (ICC-T) in secondary schools in Pakistan. Previous studies have provided initial evidence on the feasibility to implement teacher violence interventions in secondary schools in Pakistan. This study aims to provide first evidence for the effectiveness of ICC-T to reduce violence and to improve children's functioning (i.e. mental health, well-being, academic performance) in Pakistan.

NCT ID: NCT05932056 Recruiting - Violence Clinical Trials
