School Screening and Telemedicine Specialty Referral to Address Childhood Hearing Loss in Rural Kentucky
NCT05513833
Recruiting
This trial will evaluate a multilevel intervention (STAR model) that combines mobile health (mHealth) hearing screening tools with telemedicine technology for specialty care access in rural Kentucky schools. An initial version of the model was used in rural Alaska where telemedicine-based specialty referral improved both proportion of children receiving follow-up and time to follow-up. The refined STAR model will utilize an enhanced mHealth screening protocol that includes tympanometry for the d... Read More

High Dose Testosterone for ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 Altered Prostate Cancers
NCT05011383
