The purpose of this research study is to determine if video-based education will increase HPV vaccination rates among 11 - 17 year olds.
The bedside use of ultrasound after central venous catheter (CVCs) insertion has lagged behind other applications in medicine, thus presenting an opportunity for innovative, evidence-based research that will influence clinician behavior. This research focuses on bedside ultrasound applications as an example, to evaluate clinical practice change. Chest radiographs are associated with delays in initiating time-critical interventions and present an unexamined opportunity for improving patient care by evaluating the use of ultrasound in lieu of chest radiographs after CVC insertion. Strategic interventions for implementation are needed to hasten the adoption of this clinical innovation (ultrasound guided CVC confirmation protocol) allowing them to de-implement chest xrays when no longer indicated.
This study will compare two psychological treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD): cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Both treatments are well-studied and supported by evidence as effective options for people experiencing depression. These treatments will be delivered in an online group format via Zoom. The study will enroll up to 100 participants with depression. Half of the participants will receive online group CBT and half will receive online group ACT. There will be up to 10 members in each group. For both conditions, treatment will be provided over 8 weeks, with a 6-month follow-up period. Enrollment will be ongoing and groups will occur simultaneously. Potential participants are asked to complete an initial screening and an intake evaluation to determine eligibility. They will then receive 8-weeks of treatment. Participants will complete self-report questionnaires throughout their time in the study.
