Health Behavior Clinical Trials

The main objective of this project is to test whether providing parenting support, with an added emphasis on ethnic-racial socialization and healthy lifestyle behaviors, improves the social-emotional functioning and healthy lifestyle behaviors of Black and Latinx children. Read Less

This study is testing the efficacy of the integrative approach to: 1. teach 5th grade children menu board calorie literacy as measured by our novel recently validated menu board calorie literacy (MBCL) instrument; 2. provide strategies designed to improve food purchasing behaviors; and 3. facilitate the transmission of core lesson messages from children to parents via a procedure that we have termed "Child Mediated Health Communication (CMHC)".

Feasibility Study Informed consent will be obtained using an IRB-approved form. The first 12 consenting patients will be placed in the planned assessment group for feasibility and will not be randomized. These participants will undergo visits and blood draw collection at 3 months. They will be informed of their SomaSignal Test results at baseline and 3 months. Recommendations for any medical management changes will be made based on an understanding of those results. Randomized Study The succeeding 200 participants will be randomized using permuted mixed block randomization, in a 2:1 ratio, i.e., 2 participants to Group 1 (informed of their test results) and 1 participant to Group 2 (uninformed of their test results). At enrollment, and for 6 months thereafter, clinical information will be obtained from each participant's medical records, and/or directly from the participant during procedures, treatments, study-specific visits, and/or follow-up visits. Data collected for the study will have data linkage at SomaLogic, Inc., where data analysis will be done. At baseline and 6-months (+30 days) post-enrollment, patients will undergo a patient visit and blood collection. Blood will be collected as a stand-alone sample collection, or when other ordered lab work is done, or from access lines inserted during a usual or specialized care. Samples will be sent to the Intermountain Central laboratory for clinical testing. A sample will also be processed and shipped to SomaLogic, Inc. for analysis at baseline and 6 months. For the informed arm, the SomaSignal Test reports will be provided at the time they are available (2 to 4 weeks after the blood draw). Any recommended changes in medical management will be recorded in the case report forms and will be verified by the Principal Investigator. For the uninformed arm, the SomaSignal Test results will not be provided to the study team until after the 6-month post-test visit. Adjustments, if any, would be made to the participant's management at that time. Read Less

The overall objectives of this study are to better define the construct of psychological resilience in the military, to identify potential modifiable risk factors and trainable skills of psychological resilience in Soldiers, and provide a scalable, integrated physical and mental optimization training app to be integrated into relevant systems. The proposed work would be a first step in identifying predictive risk factors that can be modified to increase the future resilience of Soldiers. With this crucial information, the investigators aim to gather data that will inform the development of a resilience-focused intervention (e.g., a skills training program) and test the feasibility of that intervention.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of SafeSpace Sexual Health App, an innovative sexual health promotion program focused on reducing sexual risk factors and promoting sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing among young people assigned female or intersex at birth, particularly Black and/or Latine youth, LGBTQ+ youth, youth in states with high teen birth rates and youth who live in rural communities. This study utilizes a two-arm randomized control trial design to measure impacts of receiving the SafeSpace Sexual Health program compared to receiving a similar-length control app program, SafeSpace General Health that focuses on general health. The investigators will ask participants to: * Keep the SafeSpace app downloaded to their device and visit the app regularly over the course of 10 weeks. * Provide contact information. * Receive and open app push notifications for 10 weeks (up to 3 per week). * Complete 3 online surveys over a year: baseline, short-term follow-up (10 weeks after baseline), and long-term follow up (9 months after short-term follow-up). * Receive occasional text messages from the study team.

This community-engaged project aims to improve the accessibility of rapid tests through a supported employment program for people who inject drugs (PWID). The program is called Peer Connect2Test (PeerC2T). PWID will be recruited by a community partner who provides syringe exchange services. PWID will the trained by the community partner to become peer health workers (PHW) to distribute SARS-CoV-2 rapid tests to other PWID. Investigators expect that PeerC2T will improve knowledge, self-efficacy, and health behaviors among PHW (Aim 1). The study will use the RE-AIM framework in Aims 2 and 3 to evaluate whether PeerC2T improves SARS-CoV-2 testing uptake among other PWID (RE; Aim 2), and identify intervention considerations (AIM; Aim 3). The overall goal of this project is develop a transformative community-driven intervention in partnership with a community partner to promote widespread access to rapid testing among PWID. Read Less
