2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this observational study is to develop and test a mobile app for Spanish speakers residing in the US who seeking drug treatment and/or behavioral health services for themselves or an associate. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the features and content needed on this app? How will people use and share this app? Will they connect with treatment services? After receiving input from focus group participants and other community stakeholders, the app was made available and its usage was tracked to determine its long-term, broad-scale feasibility.
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.
