5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of the proposed research is to evaluate whether changes in drinking identity (DI; how much one associates one's self with drinking) can reduce hazardous drinking (HD; heavy alcohol use and negative alcohol-related consequences) among current college students. The study seeks to explore whether manipulating DI among participants will have changes in self-efficacy, craving, and HD. If such an effect can be found, DI may be a mechanism for HD behavior change and will allow researchers to develop and improve interventions aimed at HD behaviors in high-risk young adults.
This study will determine the effectiveness of a peer outreach intervention in preventing HIV infection in adults at high risk for contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Importance: Societal stigma gravely impedes occupational justice for trans individuals, producing vast health disparities for this population. Objective: Test feasibility and impact of an intervention to reduce stigma and improve trans wellbeing Design: Convergent parallel mixed methods Setting: Community/Webinar Participants: 42 audience members and 6 trans interviewees Intervention: Virtual, narrative-informed play reading and moderated discussion about gender diversity and affirmative care Outcomes and Measures: The valid and reliable Acceptance and Action Questionnaire - Stigma (AAQ-S) assesses stigma beliefs; An open-ended qualitative question assesses trans interviewees' experiences
The 2-year research plan will test the Extended Put It Out Project (POP-6) in a pilot randomized trial (N=168) compared to TSP-6, as well as comparing POP-6 and TSP-6 to the POP-3 and TSP-3 interventions from a previously-conducted trial. Participants will be young adults who smoke, identify as sexual or gender minorities (SGM), and use Facebook. Primary outcome will be biochemically verified 7-day abstinence from smoking at 3 and 6 months. Secondary outcomes will be a quit attempt (y/n), stage of change, and thoughts about tobacco abstinence at 3 and 6 months.
The 2-year research plan will test the Put It Out Project (POP) in a pilot randomized trial (N=120) compared to TSP and two historical control conditions. Participants will be young adults who smoke, identify as sexual or gender minorities, and use Facebook. The primary outcome will be biochemically verified 7-day abstinence from smoking at 3 and 6 months. Secondary outcomes will be a quit attempt (y/n), stage of change, and thoughts about tobacco abstinence at 3 and 6 mos.
