Improving Mental Health Among the LGBTQ+ Community
Recruiting
The overall aim of this program of research is to improve the mental health of people who identify as LGBTQ+ by increasing their social support through a brief intervention. The purpose of the proposed project is to establish the effectiveness of our empirically-supported, brief acceptance-based behavioral therapy (ABBT). To achieve the specific aims, the investigators will conduct a fully-powered, randomized clinical trial (n=240) with two treatment arms: treatment-as-usual (TAU) vs. ABBT.

Intelligent Spine Interface
Recruiting
This research study is being done to test a new device developed for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. The purpose of this study is to collect data on how the nervous system signals travel within the spinal cord of SCI patients. Once the investigators understand that, they hope to develop a device that may help rehabilitation of SCI patients so that they can regain function in their lower limbs. This study involves some imaging studies (e.g. X-rays etc.), surgical implantation of a portion of... Read More

A Treatment Engagement Protocol for Psychiatrically Hospitalized Adolescents at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis
Recruiting
The current study explores the development and use of a family engagement intervention for psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents with emerging psychosis symptoms. The program is designed to increase understanding of mental health symptoms and promote motivation for engagement in outpatient services. Findings from this study may inform ways to effectively educate and engage youth at clinical high risk for psychosis, and their families, in treatment that may be critical for improving future fun...

Randomized multicenter clinical trial consisting of two arms; one arm treated with PTA plus the MicroStent® System and one arm treated with PTA alone. Purpose to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using the MicroStent® Peripheral Vascular Stent System, hereafter referred to as the MicroStent® System, for the treatment of infrapopliteal lesions in subjects with peripheral arterial disease.

Amnioinfusion for Intrauterine Neuroprotection
Recruiting
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a serious brain injury in infants, occurs in 2-9 per 1,000 infants after delivery. Up to 60% of infants diagnosed with HIE die and 25% of the survivors have long-term neurologic deficits. Risk factors for HIE include abnormal fetal heart tracings and intrauterine infection. Therapeutic whole-body cooling of infants with HIE is standard of care after delivery, with only 7-9 at-risk infants needing to be treated to prevent one infant from suffering long-term... Read More

Assessment for Implementation Methods in Sepsis
Recruiting
Since the introduction of sepsis bundles, there have been multiple published trials that have demonstrated a consistent, strong association between implementation of sepsis "bundles" (3-hour bundle) and improved survival. The current proposal is a Hybrid 2, pragmatic, cluster randomized clinical effectiveness/implementation trial evaluating mortality and respiratory failure-based outcomes, in patients admitted to the emergency department with sepsis, comparing the effectiveness of implementation...

Salivary Profiling in Infants Treated for Suspected Sepsis: The SPITSS Study
Recruiting
The aim of this study is to develop a faster, safer, and more accurate method for determining if a newborn has an infection. This study involves analyzing saliva for markers of infection and inflammation known as cytokines. We will analyze infant's saliva repeatedly for inflammatory biomarkers (cytokines) within the first 36 hours of their standard of care treatment. We hypothesize that levels of these cytokines will more quickly predict which babies are truly infected and which babies are not c... Read More

Improving Access to Child Anxiety Treatment
Recruiting
There is strong evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure is the preferred treatment for youth with anxiety disorders, but outpatient services that provide this type of treatment are limited. Even for those who do have access to anxiety-specific treatment, a traditional outpatient model of treatment delivery may not be suitable. Among the numerous logistical barriers to treatment access and response is the inability to generalize treatment tools to settings outside of the of... Read More
