17,685 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this 2-site (CT, AL) study is to test innovative interventions to reduce stigma and improve the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and opioid use disorder (OUD) care continua in women involved in the criminal justice system (WICJ). This study evaluates a newly validated PrEP decision aid and eHealth for integrated PrEP and MOUD compared to a decision aid-only for WICJ with OUD.
The Randomized Control Trial for Innovating Stress-related eHealth (RISE) Study tests the hypotheses that a highly promising digital therapeutic (RISE Guide) targeting anxiety sensitivity (AS) will be acceptable to women sexual assault survivors; reduce survivors' anxiety sensitivity, and, in turn, posttraumatic stress. If successful, RISE Guide could be provided at no cost to all women who present to US emergency departments for emergency care after sexual assault.
It is critical to provide accessible evidence-based psychosocial support to parents and caregivers of children with cancer (PCCC) in order to mitigate individual and family-level psychosocial risks. This effectiveness trial evaluates an eHealth intervention for English- and Spanish-speaking (PCCC) with study endpoints focused on decreasing negative psychosocial sequelae (acute distress, posttraumatic stress, and anxiety) and improving coping abilities (coping self-efficacy, cognitive coping strategies). The long-term goal of this research program is to sustain and disseminate an effective, scalable, high-reach, and cost-effective intervention to provide crucial support to PCCC across the pediatric cancer trajectory.
The overall objective of this study is to adapt and refine an existing eHealth (web-application/web-app/app) platform designed to promote spontaneous movement (reducing sedentary behavior) among older adults, to men with prostate cancer.
The eCMP Pilot aims to study the feasibility and potential effectiveness of an electronically-mediated CardioMetabolic Program (eCMP) for therapeutic lifestyle change among adults with or at high risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and/or stroke.
Participants will receive text messages at intervals set by preference but at least 2 times per week relating to Lifestyle Health Education for 6 months. The topics to be reviewed include: Nutrition, Physical Activity, Tobacco Avoidance, Sleep, Stress Management, and Social Connection. Participants will be asked to complete surveys regarding these topics at the beginning and end of the week; in addition, participants will self report to the study team vital signs (including blood pressure, blood glucose, total cholesterol, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI)) at the beginning and end of the study. Although there is a chance participants may encounter some issues with the study procedures (possible breach of confidentiality, or issues with the study procedures), these risks are minimal. The study team will always keep information secure, and participants may decline to participate in any study procedures, or withdraw from the study, at any time. One benefit from this study may be that participants may improve their overall health by learning more about healthy eating, improved physical activity, limiting/avoiding tobacco intake, improved sleep patterns, adequate stress management, and better social connection. Participation in this study is not required.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate a new, web-based program among patients with pancreatic cancer aimed at reducing psychosocial stress.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of the dissemination of a cognitive-behavioral eHealth application (app) for pain self-management with Black and LGBTQ+ adults with high-impact chronic pain lasting at least 3 months and disrupting daily functioning (Implementation aim).
This is a voluntary research study to test use of a phone app that is intended to support breastfeeding specifically for African American and Black people. This is called a "pilot" study because the app is still in development. The goal of this research is to see if mothers use the app more when they receive text "nudges" to look at it compared to not getting those "nudges". The research project is being conducted by Lydia Furman MD. The purpose of the app (which is currently in clickable "wireframe" status, a "pre" app phase) is to support and promote breastfeeding specifically for mothers and fathers/partners who are African American or Black. Other breastfeeding apps have pictures mainly of White or Asian mothers and information that is not oriented toward African American mothers. This app aims to provide accurate and needed breastfeeding information that is culturally attuned. Up to 24 participants will be enrolled at UHCMC, including up to 20 mothers. Other participants will include up to 4 African American or Black fathers/partners whose partners are interested in breastfeeding.
This study will test the newly-developed My spinal cord injury (SCI) Toolkit program in two formats - unguided use of the program and use supported by a coach. These two active treatment formats will be compared to treatment as usual (waitlist control) in adults with chronic pain and SCI. Hypotheses include: * Treatment adherence, participant satisfaction, and perception of positive change will be high and drop-out rates low for both treatments but will be better in the coached compared to the unguided arm * In terms of pre- to post-treatment changes in pain interference, coached My SCI Toolkit program will be superior to treatment as usual
Depression is the most prevalent mental health condition among VHA patients and is strongly associated with poor functioning, negative health outcomes, and suicide. Despite effective and available treatments, engagement in care is poor. This study will analyze VHA electronic medical record data, to identify patient characteristics associated with poor treatment engagement. The study will then develop and formatively evaluate an eHealth intervention to improve and sustain engagement in mental health care through self-monitoring. This is an important step in engaging Veterans who, in part, based on their military training, may have difficulty identifying or accepting depressed affect and the benefits of treatment. The information obtained will inform clinical strategies and operations policy to improve quality, coordination, and efficiency of mental health services.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of recruiting young adult cancer survivors from across the nation and to explore the impact of an eHealth group intervention on psychosocial health in this population.
The purpose of this international oncology research includes the following three aims: * Aim 1. Expand and strengthen the existing research partnership with investigators from Centro Javeriano de Oncología, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, and Hospital Universitario San Ignacio in Bogotá, Colombia. * Aim 2. Evaluate the implementation feasibility and acceptability of the 9-week Spanish-translated mindfulness app, Wakeful, in a mixed Colombian young adult cancer patient sample. * Aim 3. Translate and record professional Spanish-language voice overs for all new STU00210628 content for future implementation.
This clinical trial studies how well an electronic (e)-health intervention (day-by-day) woks in managing fears or worries about cancer growing, spreading, or getting worse (progression) in patients with stage III or IV gynecologic cancer. Fear and worries about cancer progression or recurrence (coming back) are common concerns. This may contribute to concerns related to illness, worries, and uncertainty about the future. Day by Day is adapted from a program called "Conquer Fear" which was shown to benefit patients with early-stage cancer. Day-by-day intervention may help refocus patient thoughts and help patients learn skills to manage anxiety and fears.
Young Latina women face significant barriers to sexual health and healthcare access, particularly in emerging Latino states like Alabama. The goals of the proposed study are to develop and examine the feasibility of an innovative, scalable mHealth, "safe space" intervention for Young Latina Women (YLW) in Alabama (AL) and to stimulate the conduct of behavioral research at the University of Alabama. This work is consistent with the National Institute of Nursing Research's goals of "Enhancing wellness by understanding the physical, behavioral, cultural and environmental influences on health status and developing culturally tailored interventions to prevent illness and promote health" and "Using innovative technologies to develop novel interventions that deliver personalized care and real-time health information to patients, families and healthcare providers".
The purpose of this study is to adapt a web-based platform to deliver a group intervention for young adult cancer survivors.
Latinos Understanding the Need for Adherence in Diabetes using Care Coordination, Integrated Medical and Behavioral Care and E-Health (LUNA-E) is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will test the effectiveness a patient-centered, team-based, primary care intervention with E-Health enhancements in improving glycemic control (primary outcome, hemoglobin A1C level) and psychological distress (secondary outcome; depression, anxiety symptoms).
This trial studies how well an electronic (e)-health support program, called the PACK Health Program, supports patient reported symptoms in newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer. PACK Health offers a symptom management program involving both interpersonal interaction, as well as e-modules for patients diagnosed with cancer to better manage pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and to navigate care more effectively through e-health coaching and tools. Participating in the PACK Health Program may support breast cancer patients' reported side effects and experience of care during chemotherapy treatment and may ultimately improve overall health.
In this project, the investigators hope to evaluate effective methods of communication with patients with multiple sclerosis regarding habits of physical activity, sleep, and diet. Currently, there is weak evidence regarding how to deliver adequate information at scale in the clinics with respect to diet, exercise, and sleep. It is unclear if receiving structured information impacts patient-reported outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS). The study team hopes to evaluate the efficacy of after visit direct patient messaging in promoting any behavioral changes, the sustainability of those behavioral changes, and most importantly, if those changes impact patient-reported sense of self-efficacy in the participants disease management. In addition, the study team hopes that the data collected during this study will provide answers on how providing wellness strategies impacts patient reported outcomes, markers of behavior, and sense of disease progression.
This randomized non-inferiority study will use a 2x2 design where traditional standard-of-care pre-test (visit 1) and post-test (visit 2: disclosure) counseling delivered by a genetic counselor are replaced with a self-directed web-based eHealth intervention to provide critical data to inform optimal ways to deliver clinical genetic testing in eligible individuals, while maintaining quality of care and favorable cognitive, affective and behavioral outcomes.
The psychosocial needs of children with cancer and their families are well-documented in the literature, including the increased risk of parental posttraumatic stress, parental anxiety, and decreased family functioning. There is a critical need to provide evidence-based psychosocial care to parents of children with cancer, although many challenges exist with regard to in-person intervention delivery. eHealth interventions represent an exciting potential opportunity to address many of the barriers to in-person intervention delivery in this population, but are not yet widely utilized in pediatric psychosocial cancer care. eSCCIP is an innovative eHealth intervention for parents of children with cancer, delivered through a combination of self-guided interactive online content and telehealth follow-up with a therapist. eSCCIP aims to decrease symptoms of anxiety, distress, and posttraumatic stress while improving family functioning by delivering evidence-based therapeutic content through a flexible, easily accessible intervention tool. The four self-guided online modules feature a mix of didactic video content, novel multifamily video discussion groups featuring parents of children with cancer, and hands-on interactive activities. Preliminary Think Aloud testing has been completed and led to several rounds of design and functionality improvements. The objective of the proposed study is to establish feasibility and acceptability of eSCCIP in a diverse group of parents of children with cancer. A secondary, exploratory goal is to evaluate preliminary intervention effectiveness for key psychosocial outcomes. Specific Aim 1 is to identify strategies for increasing participant engagement and retention by conducting focus groups with a diverse sample of parents of children with cancer prior to pilot testing. Specific Aim 2 is to demonstrate the feasibility of eSCCIP through pilot testing with a diverse sample of parents of children with cancer. Specific Aim 3 is to evaluate preliminary effectiveness of eSCCIP through pilot testing with parents of children with cancer. The proposed study is an important first step in meeting a critical need for families of children with cancer and collecting data to power a randomized clinical trial to establish clinical efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of tracking survivors' and their caregivers, stressors, affect, and symptoms using an electronic diary method, in the time period surrounding their routine check- up with their oncologist.
The availability of symptom monitoring and self-management (SMSM) interventions is especially important for civilians and military populations with spinal cord injuries (SCI). High rates of depressive disorders (20-40%) and anxiety disorders (20-25%) have been found in both civilian and military populations and are significant contributors to both quality of life and well-being after SCI. Previous self-management interventions targeting physical activity and self-reliance in individuals with SCI have demonstrated significant health and lifestyle benefits. However, it has been shown that the injured individual's psychological outlook and mood can either enable or hinder self-management efforts and that currently available SCI-specific self-management programs may be inadequate. Developing interventions to reduce mental health symptoms following SCI is therefore critical to improve the lives of individuals, alleviate resource strain on military and civilian health care systems, and potentially reduce the rate of mortality by suicide in Veterans and civilians living with SCI. The current study will build on prior work developing an intervention platform to assess the effectiveness of this eHealth SMSM system and will test the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention platform.
The purpose of this study is to develop and pre-test an eHealth group intervention for young adult cancer survivors.
Investigators will test an evidence-based behavioral intervention that is responsive to Young Adults (YA's) expressed needs and priorities
The researchers are doing this study to learn more about which online self-help resources, including a smartphone app, an online program, or an informational website, primary care patients with depression are likely to choose and whether the chosen tool will improve their depressive symptoms and wellbeing. The researchers would also like to know how likely someone is to use the resources and their satisfaction with the resources.
The investigators aim to validate if a digital tool for increased self-management of chronic pain can improve the quality of life for patients with chronic pain. The validation is based on the change in pain interference (Quality of life), pain intensity, physical functioning, depression, and anxiety based on self-reported information from baseline to study end.
This study will evaluate the predictive validity of a game-based screening system based on child self-report measures. The core study hypotheses are that (1) in-game assessments will predict problematic recovery (child pain and posttraumatic stress symptoms \[PTSS\]) and (2) parents in the intervention group will report greater confidence in managing child recovery.
The purpose of this single institution pilot study is to determine the feasibility of implementing an eHealth prostate cancer surveillance program through the eVisit electronic medical record patient portal. The investigators will assess patient compliance and satisfaction with eVisit follow up care in lieu of in person clinic visits.
This study aims to determine if web-based eHealth delivery of pre-test and/or post-test counseling in cancer patients and/or those at risk for cancer can provide equal or improved cognitive and affective outcomes when compared to the standard of care delivery model.
