Anxiety Clinical Trials

The study's objective is to assess whether CAM methods are feasible and beneficial in the WSRH setting; to assess stress (using the Perceived Stress Scale-14 and using BioSquares™), anxiety (using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale), depression (using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scale), pain (using the Wong-Baker FACES scale), and vital signs using a multidisciplinary complementary approach with Heartfulness Meditation, Conscious Breathing, and Emotional Freedom Technique - the CAM practices for this study; and, to assess and compare the above scores for each participant just prior to and immediately after each treatment session. The study hypothesizes that using CAM modalities in the WSRH is both feasible and beneficial in that patient population; the patients receiving the CAM modalities of treatment will show an improvement in the above-mentioned scores compared to participant scores prior to the intervention; and there may also be an improvement in patients' vital signs following the intervention of CAM practices.

Project ASSET will explore the preliminary efficacy of interpersonal therapy, when compared with cognitive behavioral therapy, for reducing anxiety symptoms, preventing excess weight gain, and reducing cardio-metabolic risk in adolescent girls with above-average weight and elevated anxiety. As a pilot for a larger multi-site study, this trial will also test multi-site feasibility, acceptability, and intervention fidelity. Read Less

We are evaluating the effects of an online single-session mental health intervention (the Common Elements Toolbox; COMET). To evaluate COMET, we are conducting a randomized controlled trial with college students attending American universities. Students will be randomized to the COMET condition or to a wait-list control condition. Read Less

The goal of this study is to estimate the direct, causal impact of medical debt on health care utilization, mental health, and wellbeing of patients. The investigators will conduct a survey to measure the impact of the debt forgiveness on health care use, mental health, and wellbeing. The survey will be administered to approximately 17,000 subjects of a recent medical financial intervention. In that prior intervention, a non-profit charity, RIP Medical Debt, purchased and abolished medical debt for a randomly selected about 6,000 (out of the 17,000) individuals. In this current protocol, the investigators will administer the survey, and will compare surveyed outcomes of subjects who received and did not receive the intervention. Read Less
