4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This project implements and evaluates a promotora-based intervention targeted at adolescent farm workers. The goal of the project is to determine the effectiveness of each intervention in promoting increased knowledge and practice of pesticide safety behaviors.
The goal of this project is to develop and test the effectiveness of a Lay Health Advisor program to teach migrant and seasonal farmworkers about pesticide safety in their homes. This is a community-based collaborative research project in which we first conduct in-depth interviews with farmworkers to learn about their knowledge and beliefs relative to pesticide exposure in the home, and, second, develop the content of the Lay Health Advisor program based on this formative information. We will evaluate this program by conducting pre- and post-test interviews with farmworkers, and comparing safety and knowledge to a control group who receive other important health education.
Summers Laboratories has developed a non-pesticide treatment for head lice. Lice Asphyxiator (L.A.) works by mechanically blocking the respiratory spiracles of the head lice, therefore causing a quick-acting suffocation that will not result in the development of resistance. The objectives of this open label study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of home use of two 10-minute treatments of 5% L.A. (applied one week apart).
This is a multi-center, randomized, double blind, vehicle controlled, study designed to evaluate the pediculicidal activity of Summers 5% L.A. compared to a vehicle control.
