Employment Support After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Recruiting
This is a feasibility study of a Work Support (WorkS) intervention designed to ameliorate employment challenges for people preparing to return to work after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The aim of this study is to evaluate "proof of concept" by: 1. examining the feasibility and acceptability of the WorkS intervention and the study procedures, and 2. exploring the preliminary effects of WorkS for improving patient-reported return-to-work self-efficacy, work status, quality of life, and...

Web-administered STAIR for Patients on Behavioral Health Waitlists
Recruiting
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant public health challenge with population prevalence rates in the US between 6.1 to 9.2%. There are large racial and socioeconomic inequities in access to PTSD treatment, as up to half (30-50%) of patients in safety net clinical settings meet criteria for PTSD, yet only 13% receive any behavioral health treatment. Workforce shortages are one major barrier to accessing care. Additional barriers to care can include heightened mental health stigma... Read More

Language During Inhalational Induction
Recruiting
The aim of this study is to compare the impact of common (standard of care) language vs positive language used by clinicians during inhalational induction of anesthesia on anxiety and negative behaviors in children. This is a prospective randomized parallel group trial. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to the common/standard language group or the positive language group.

Optimal Stimulation Parameters to Disrupt Epileptiform Activity
Recruiting
Open-loop electrical stimulation has been found to reduce spike activity and seizures, but determining the optimal parameters to achieve these effects requires a brute force trial-and-error approach that relies on subjective physician discretion. We will compare the performance of stimulation parameters identified in rodent models to the recommended parameters for neuromodulation used in clinical practice.

Comparative Effectiveness of Individual Versus Group-Level Interventions to Reduce Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/ Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Incidence
Recruiting
The HIV diagnosis rate among African-born Black women is the highest of all Black individuals living in the US. Correct and consistent use of condoms and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are two effective means of decreasing HIV risk among women, but they remain suboptimal among Black women. The specific aims of this study are: 1. To culturally adapt two widely utilized, evidence-based HIV prevention interventions originally designed for US born Black women (Sister-to-Sister (S2S) and Si... Read More

Effect of PRP, PPP, & BMAC on Functional Outcomes Following Hip Arthroscopy for Acetabular Labral Pathologies
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of PRP/PPP/BMAC application on functional outcomes after hip arthroscopy to address acetabular labral pathologies. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does PRP/PPP/BMAC application improve functional outcomes after hip arthroscopy to address acetabular labral pathologies? 2. Does PRP/PPP/BMAC application reduce the arthritic burden as measured by functional outcomes following hip arthroscopy to address labral pathologies with conc... Read More

REACH-Es: Adapting a Digital Health Tool to Improve Diabetes Medication Adherence Among Latino Adults
Recruiting
Latino individuals, the fastest growing ethnic minority population in the United States, have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related complications, and are more likely to report inconsistent use of diabetes medications than non-Hispanic White individuals. The proposed project will test an interactive text message-based tool tailored to address barriers to taking diabetes medications that are relevant to Latino adults. If found feasible, acceptable, and usable, this intervent... Read More

NeuroPathways Intervention for Brain Tumor Patients
Recruiting
This goal of this study is to test an information and support intervention for patients with malignant (or "high-grade") brain tumors. This study was developed to help patients cope after a brain tumor diagnosis. The main question this study aims to answer is whether this intervention (which includes access to an information guide and one-on-one coaching sessions) is feasible (i.e., possible to carry out) and acceptable (i.e., considered helpful) to patients. Participants will be asked to take p... Read More
