The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of ROSE in individuals with adverse childhood experiences. The main question it aims to answer is, compared to enhanced treatment as usual, does the delivery of ROSE within a collaborative care model improve depressive symptom trajectories and prevent the development of perinatal depression. Participants will be randomized to either enhanced treatment as usual or the ROSE intervention, delivered by a care manager within a perinatal collaborative care program. They will complete self-reported surveys of their depression symptoms every 4 weeks to inform their symptom trajectories. They will also complete clinical interviews to establish any incident diagnoses of a major depressive episode. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to learn the best approach to treating patients with known or suspected Barrett's esophagus by comparing endoscopic surveillance to endoscopic eradication therapy. To diagnose and manage Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia, doctors commonly use procedures called endoscopic surveillance and endoscopic eradication therapy. Endoscopic surveillance is a type of procedure where a physician will run a tube with a light and a camera on the end of it down the patients throat and remove a small piece of tissue. The piece of tissue, called a biopsy, is about the size of the tip of a ball-point pen and is checked for abnormal cells and cancer cells. Endoscopic eradication therapy is a kind of surgery which is performed to destroy the precancerous cells at the bottom of the esophagus, so that healthy cells can grow in their place. It involves procedures to either remove precancerous tissue or burn it. These procedures can have side effects, so it is not certain whether risking those side effects is worth the benefit people get from the treatments. While both of these procedures are widely accepted approaches to managing the condition, there is not enough research to show if one is better than the other. Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia does not always worsen to high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer. In fact, it usually does not. So, if a patient's dysplasia is not worsening, doctors would rather not put patients at risk unnecessarily. On the other hand, endoscopic eradication therapy could possibly prevent the worsening of low-grade dysplasia into high-grade dysplasia or cancer (esophageal adenocarcinoma) in some patients. Researchers believe that the results of this study will help doctors choose the safest and most effective procedure for their patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia. This is a multicenter study involving several academic, community and private hospitals around the United States. Up to 530 participants will be randomized. This study will also include a prospective observational cohort study of up to 150 Barrett's esophagus and low grade dysplasia patients who decline randomization in the randomized control trial but undergo endoscopic surveillance (Cohort 1) or endoscopic eradication therapy (Cohort 2), and are willing to provide longitudinal observational data.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a fully digital intervention, combining the Lumen problem-solving therapy virtual coach for depression management with the Diabetes Prevention Program video-based program for weight loss, among racial and ethnic minorities with comorbid depression and obesity. The study aims include: * Determine the efficacy of the vCare intervention at 6 months. Primary outcomes are weight and depression symptom checklist 20-item (SCL-20) score. * Identify predictors of treatment success, defined by achieving clinically significant weight loss (5%) and depression outcomes (50% decline or SCL-20\<0.5), at 6 and 12 months. * Characterize participant experiences and perceptions of the vCare intervention. Eligible participants will be randomized to the early-intervention arm who will receive active treatment for 6 months, followed by maintenance for another 6 months, or the later-intervention arm who will be waitlisted for 6 months and then receive active treatment in the second 6 months.

Floreciendo is a sexual and reproductive health workshop for Latina teens (ages 14-18 years) and their female caregivers (e.g., mothers, sisters, grandmothers). This study involves conducting a pilot optimization trial of Floreciendo using the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework. The feasibility of using a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial trial design and the acceptability of the intervention components of Floreciendo will be examined. Effectiveness and implementation outcomes will be explored. This work will be conducted in partnership with community-based organizations in the Chicagoland area. Read Less

Study Summary Nearly half (47%) of people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) whose kidney function is restored after kidney transplantation experience chronic pain compared to 19% of adults in the US general population. Pain is associated with comorbid fatigue, depression and anxiety, and withdrawal from usual physical and social activities; resulting in an inability to participate in and enjoy life. Severe pain can result in nonadherence to immunosuppression and treatment protocols and result in an increased risk of rejection, graft loss, and mortality. The role of symbiotic microbes (microbiota) in the gastrointestinal tract, and their functional genes (microbiome), is well established in diseases involving pain. Diet and stress play a major role in synthesis of signaling molecules critical to immunologic, metabolic, and endocrine pathways regulating chronic pain. Dietary patterns change dramatically after transplantation, as recipients move from a restricted "renal" diet to a regular diet, often resulting in increased consumption of foods high in sugars and fat. Moreover, psychological stress significantly impairs the function of the microbiome, initiating biological pathways involved in pain, leading to a disproportionate pain burden. Because the microbiome, serum metabolites, and pain are dynamic, our novel investigation will employ a prospective repeated measures design to interrogate the dynamic temporal relationships between the microbiome, metabolites associated with pathways regulating pain, transplantation factors (e.g. immunosuppression, kidney function), changing dietary patterns, and perceived stress, on pain scores before and after kidney transplantation. The investigators posit the gut microbiome, and its byproducts, may partially explain the underlying biological mechanisms of pain Interference in kidney disease. The investigators will address three aims: 1) To determine differential dynamic temporal relationships between microbial composition/functional genes and circulating serum metabolites in KTRs with pain vs no pain, 2) To determine the moderation effects of diet and perceived stress on dynamic temporal relationships between microbiome features, serum metabolites, and pain scores among KTRs, and 3) To use machine learning algorithms to identify host-microbial interactions that are causally linked to pain interference among KTRs. Because kidney function is restored, the kidney transplant model is powerful to study the longitudinal relationships between the microbiome, circulating metabolites and chronic pain in people with ESKD to develop patient-centered interventions to treat pain across the spectrum of CKD.
