This project aims to encourage a sense of belonging, community, and emotional support for parents of autistic children through a group drumming (music therapy) intervention.
Migraine is one of the most common neurological disorders, characterized by recurrent headaches, sensitivity to light and movement, nausea, and autonomic dysregulation. Although mind-body interventions like biofeedback have shown their efficacy, they remain underutilized due to barriers such as transportation, time constraints, lack of awareness, stigma, and cost. A targeted approach to enhancing HRV is HRV biofeedback (HRVB), a technique using visual or auditory feedback to help people regulate HRV through slow-paced breathing and positive emotional regulation to promote ANS balance and emotional resilience. Investigators will conduct a remotely delivered pilot RCT of an 8-week, 10 min/day, novel app-based HRVB intervention compared to a sham control intervention (matching intervention time and attention with no biofeedback component) in adult with chronic migraine. Investigators hypothesize data collected from the study will: a) support the feasibility and acceptability of the remotely delivered app-based HRVB intervention among adults with chronic migraine, and b) provide insights into refining the intervention by examining patterns of change in migraine and psychological outcomes from pre- to post-intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if daily avocado intake can improve growth and brain and gut health in infants. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does daily eating of avocados change which microbes live in the infant's gut? Does daily avocado intake improve infant motor skills and cognitive development? Researchers will compare avocado intake to standard of care (no or limited avocado intake) to see if regular avocado intake from 6-12 months of life influences gut and brain health. Participating mothers/guardians and their infants will: Parents will provide avocado or no avocado to their infant every day for 6 months starting around 6 months of infant age. Parents will allow study staff to visit participant homes to collect data via surveys and observations and measure infant growth. Parents will swab soiled infant diapers for gut microbe measures. Parents will keep a diary of the infant's avocado consumption and acceptance of the food. Parents will record their infant's dietary intake
To develop an intervention that engages family members in supporting HIV and opioid substitution therapy treatment for those who inject drugs in South Africa, and then conduct a pilot study to understand feasibility and preliminary impact on outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effects of technology enhancements when combined with basic education, goal-setting, and self-monitoring to increase physical activity among older adults living alone, experiencing subjective cognitive decline, and currently engaging minimal physical activity (60 minutes or less of moderate to vigorous physical activity). Further, we will examine key psychosocial mechanisms believed to contribute to successful promotion of physical activity, which include social support and stress resilience. The primary questions are to determine whether * the tech-enhanced condition lead to greater physical activity over time? * the tech-enhanced condition lead to social support and stress resilience over time? * social support and stress resilience mediate the relationship between the study condition and physical activity? All participants will engage in self-monitoring of physical activity, will receive weekly text reminders of their physical activity goals for the week, and will receive basic education about the importance of physical activity, social support, and stress resilience for cognitive, physical, and psychological health. Participants in the tech-enhanced condition will also receive access to a study-specific website and virtual coaching to reinforce the information presented. Researchers will then compare the tech-enhanced condition to the basic education condition to determine the benefits of technology to deliver the intervention materials in order to increase physical activity, social support, and stress resilience. Participants will: * Use a Garmin wearable device to monitor their physical activity * Be randomly assigned to a basic education condition or tech-enhanced condition * Set achievable goals for weekly physical activity, with incremental increases to achieve 7000 average daily steps by the end of the study * Respond to surveys to monitor their social support, stress resilience, quality of life, and depression. The sample has several risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias: low physical activity, social isolation risk via living alone, and subjective cognitive impairment. Therefore, a long-term goal includes the determination of the intervention's effectiveness at increasing physical activity, social support, and stress resilience to reduce risk for developing dementia.
ASU's School of Human Evolution and Social Change President's Professor, Amber Wutich, joined @kjzz last week to discuss water insecurity in Arizona, and how social scientists can lead the way through collaboration. "What determines how much water we have is the kinds of infrastructure we build...We have to start with the human parts of the system and work in concert with the hydrology and the biophysical parts of the system," said Wutich.
It is well established that post-exercise rehydration with electrolyte solutions is more effective than plain water. However, most commercially available drinks are high in electrolytes but lack some essential trace minerals. This study aims to examine the impact of a higher-electrolyte sports drink compared with a low-electrolyte, trace-mineral-rich solution and water on the time course and extent of rehydration after exercise-induced dehydration.

This project extends the investigators' previous research regarding the intersecting risks of alcohol, sexual risk behavior (SRB), and sexual aggression (SA) in male drinkers who have sex with women by examining the mediating and moderating roles of both intrapersonal and interpersonal emotional factors. While independent streams of research consistently document alcohol's role in SRB and SA, the investigators' work has demonstrated that these behaviors are related, and that alcohol exacerbates their likelihood both independently and synergistically. The researchers' investigations focus on a particular type of SRB: men's resistance to condom use with female partners who want to have protected sex. Condom use resistance (CUR) is common and normative among young male drinkers, with up to 80% of men reporting engaging in CUR. Of particular concern, research demonstrates that up to 42% of men report using coercive CUR tactics such as emotional manipulation, deception, condom sabotage, and force to obtain unprotected sex. Investigators will evaluate hypotheses that distal and proximal emotional and alcohol factors influence in-the-moment SRB/CUR intentions as well as daily alcohol use and SRB/CUR. The investigators will also examine whether the relationships among assessed variables are similar across experimental and naturalistic settings. That is, investigate the extent to which men's responses in the lab parallel their real-world drinking and SRB/CUR behaviors, particularly regarding self and partner emotions, empathy, and interpersonal stress.
Given its capacity to stimulate exercise-induced neuroplasticity at lower doses compared to aerobic exercise, resistance exercise has become the top-recommended rehabilitation approach for individuals with neurocognitive impairments. Despite a large body of evidence supporting its application in the context of cognition, little work has been done to investigate the role of resistance exercise in modifying the structure and function of the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Likewise, despite a general understanding of the benefits of short chain fatty acids such as acetate for the gut-brain axis, the impact of exogenous acetic acid has not been sufficiently examined in the context of the intestinal barrier. While self-reported mood disturbance responds favorably to vinegar ingestion, it is currently unknown if these effects are also associated with changes in intestinal permeability.

Presented at the 2021 AAAS Annual Meeting, hosted by Arizona State University 2 9 2021 Household Water Insecurity in the Global North Session Description: This panel extends new scholarship that reveals water security in the Global North to be a myth, and explores what can be done about it. Taking a relational approach, we argue household water insecurity is a product of institutionalized structures and power, manifests unevenly through space and time, and is reproduced places many assume are water‐secure. Our research shows how “social infrastructure”—relationships, cultural norms, and informal institutions—can address people’s urgent needs for safe, sufficient water against the backdrop of gaps in public water provision. Research and policy roadmaps to build from this work will be discussed. • Weathering extreme climate and geological changes • Social ecosystems • Systems of interaction • Anthropology • Urban Ecology Amber Wutich, Ph.D

This is a study of the effect of a customized probiotic on children and adults with autism, including effects on autism symptoms and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Progressive gait dysfunction is one of the main motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). It is generally expressed as reduced step length and gait speed, and as increased variability in step time and length. People with PD also exhibit stooped posture, which besides apparent disfigurement, also disrupts gait. The gait and posture impairments are usually resistant to the pharmacological treatment, worsen as the disease progresses, increase the likelihood of falls, and result in higher rates of hospitalization and mortality. These impairments may be caused by perceptual (spatial awareness) difficulties due to deficiency in processing information related to movement initiation and execution, which can result in misperceptions of the actual effort required to perform a desired movement and posture. Due to this, people with PD often depend on external cues during motor tasks. Although numerous studies have shown that cues can improve gait in PD, they did not provide feedback of the performance in real-time which is crucial to perceive, modulate, and achieve the desired movements. There are a few studies that provided real-time feedback using treadmill-based systems and observed improvements in gait in PD, however, they are not suitable for practicing target movements conveniently during free-living conditions, which can strongly reinforce movement patterns and improve clinical outcomes. There has been very little investigations of wearable real-time feedback (WRTF) systems to improve gait and posture in PD. The investigators are aware of only one study that tried to improve gait using a wearable system with real-time feedback capabilities, but the study did not provide any feedback on posture. Also, some of the parameters used for feedback were not easy to perceive and modulate in real-time. Based on the investigators' recent success with a treadmill-based real-time feedback system which improved gait and posture in people with PD, the proposed study will develop a WRTF system, validate its performance with gold standard measures from a motion capture system, and test its feasibility in a group of people with mild to moderate PD. The most novel aspects of the proposed system are that it will provide feedback on parameters such as step length, arm swing, step time, and upright posture which have been greatly affected in PD and shown to increase the risk factors for balance disorders and falls. In addition, the system will consists of two types of feedback: a Continuous Feedback (CF) mode and an On-Demand Feedback (ODF) mode. The CF mode will help users learn and practice desired gait and posture movements and the ODF mode will help to maintain them during activities of daily living. The gait and posture performances during feedback and non-feedback conditions will be compared and, if the expected benefits are observed, a follow-up randomized clinical trial will be performed to test the effectiveness of this novel technology during daily activities.
Cancer and cancer treatment often lead patients and survivors to experience a host of chronic symptoms, of which sleep disturbances are a major concern. Smartphone-based meditation via an already-developed app (i.e., Calm) is a unique and novel way of providing a potentially helpful symptom-management strategy to cancer patients and survivors. Our hypothesis is that cancer patients/survivors using the Calm smartphone app for eight weeks will see improved sleep disturbance (primary outcome) as well as anxiety, depression, pain intensity, global health, quality of life, emotional regulation, and mindfulness when compared to a time and attention-matched health education podcast control group. Cancer patients/survivors (n=300) will be randomly assigned to an intervention or control group for eight weeks, with study outcome measurement occurring at baseline, post-intervention (i.e., week eight), and follow-up (i.e., week 20).
What is stigma? And how does it affect a person’s mental health and quality of life? In today’s Psych Central Podcast, Gabe talks with anthropologists Alex Brewis and Amber Wutich about the deeply dehumanizing impact of stigma in society. Whether it’s your mental health diagnosis, your neighborhood, your race or your inability to meet society’s standards in some way, stigma is alive and well in today’s world. People may even stigmatize themselves, intensifying their suffering. Why are people so quick to stigmatize? And how does stigma affect mental health treatment? Tune into the show for an in-depth look at how humans tend to label others (and themselves) -- often without even thinking about it.

A high fermented, oligio-, di-, monosaccharide, and polyols (FODMAP) diet has been shown to exacerbate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Previous literature has shown significant improvement in IBS symptoms after adherence to a low FODMAP diet (LFD); hence, LFD is a viable treatment method for IBS and IBS-like symptoms. However, adherence to the LFD has proven to be difficult with participants stating that information provided by medical practitioners is generalized and nonspecific requiring them to search for supplementary information to fit their individual needs. Notably, studies that have used a combination of online and in-person methods for treatment have shown improved adherence to the LFD. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel machine learning dietary mobile application (ML-App) will improve adherence to the LFD compared to a standard online dietary intervention in populations with IBS or IBS-like symptoms over a 4 week period.

Enrolled MPN patients will participate in a podcast intervention via a smartphone app. They will listen to 60 minutes per week of podcasts through this app, which consist of cancer-related health education material. Participants have the option to listen to additional podcasts beyond the 60-minute weekly prescription if they desire. Participation will be tracked through self-report logs. In addition, questionnaires will be administered at baseline, midpoint (week 6), and post-intervention (week 12), which ask about demographics, health information, and satisfaction. The hypothesis is that the smartphone app is feasible for delivering home-based health education podcasts to MPN patients.

Feasibility benchmarks will include: \>70% satisfied with the intervention and \>70% intending to continue participating in online yoga (i.e., acceptability); \>70% of participants achieving an average of \>42 min/week (70% of presceibed 60 min/week) of online yoga throughout the 12-week intervention (i.e., demand); \>70% completing questionnaires across all four time points (i.e., practicality); at least small effect sizes of the intervention on physical function, fatigue, anxiety, sleep disturbance, social functioning, pain interference, depression, and quality of life as compared to a podcast control group (i.e., limited efficacy).
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting low water intake and elevated levels of the hormone vasopressin exacerbate glucose regulation. This project will examine the physiological mechanism by which low water intake impairs glucose homeostasis. In the current proposal we aim to: 1) quantify the degree of glucose impairment as a response to elevated vasopressin due to low water intake and 2) identify the physiological mechanism by which elevated vasopressin, as a response to low water intake, impairs glucose regulation
Purpose of Study The purpose of this crossover study was to determine how vitamin B6 supplementation impacts mood states in college age (18-25 y) women that use oral contraceptives, in comparison to a placebo treatment. Hypothesis Daily supplementation of vitamin B6 (100 mg) over a 4-week period will improve mood states in college age women (18-25 y) with marginal vitamin B6 status that use oral contraceptives, compared to the placebo treatment.
The purpose of this study is to test if a parenting program can be used to prevent substance use among Latino youth and at the same time promote healthy eating. Pairs of 7th grade students and one of their parents will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to three groups: an existing parenting intervention focusing on substance use prevention (FPNG), the enhanced parenting intervention that also has nutrition content (FPNG+), and a comparison program focused on academic success. Only parents will attend intervention sessions. Data will be collected from the parent and their 7th grade student to see how these programs impacted substance use, nutrition, and parenting. The investigators hypothesize that families receiving the FPNG+ will have improved nutrition habits than the other conditions. Students in both FPNG and FPNG+ will have lower substance use rates as compared to the academic success program. In addition, the effects of parenting strategies and sociocultural factors on the FPNG and FPNG+ results will be studied.

This study was a four-group randomized pilot trial in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients. Patients were recruited nationally through organizational partners and social media. Eligible and consented patients were enrolled into one of four groups, two of which received varying orders of two consumer-based apps (unnamed consumer-based \[CB\] app and Calm App) and two that received one of the apps alone for the second four weeks of the eight week intervention after an educational control condition. Participants were asked to perform 10 min/day of smartphone-based meditation irrespective of the app and/or the order in which they received the apps. Feasibility outcomes were measured at week five and nine with an online survey. Feasibility outcomes were acceptability, demand, and limited efficacy for depression, anxiety, pain intensity, sleep disturbance, sexual function, quality of life, global health, and total symptom burden. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of the use of two different consumer-based meditation smartphone applications (i.e., apps) in MPN patients. Specific aim #1: Examine the feasibility of daily meditation delivered using a consumer-based mobile app. Hypothesis: It will feasible to deliver smartphone-based meditation to MPN patients. Exploratory Aim: Explore the preliminary effects of daily meditation delivered using a consumer-based mobile app on MPN self-report fatigue, anxiety, depression, pain intensity, sleep disturbance, sexual function, global health, quality of life, and total symptom burden. Hypothesis: There will be demonstrated preliminary effects on patient-reported outcomes in MPN patients.
Study Title: Gene Expression, Meditative Movement and Emotional Distress (GME) Background and Objectives: Breast cancer survivors (BCS) often report decrements in cognitive functioning. Cognitive impairment (CI) is generally understood as resulting from chemotherapy or radiation, but may also result from chronic emotional distress experienced by breast cancer patients and survivors. Meditation and exercise are both known to reduce stress, with growing evidence for the potential of each to also improve cognitive functioning in cancer patients and survivors. A Meditative Movement (MM) program (Qigong/Tai Chi Easy) offers the potential of combining both benefits of meditation and exercise for breast cancer survivors. This is a pilot study, testing the MM program to effect changes in cognitive functioning and associated symptoms/conditions such as anxiety, depression, sleep quality and using gene expression factors as biomarkers to potentially measure the molecular signature of these changes. Forty BCS will be consented and assigned to an intensive eight week MM program. Cognitive functioning and associated symptoms/conditions will be assessed before and after the 8-week MM program to examine the participants' behaviors and symptoms. Peripheral blood samples will be collected before and after the 8-week MM program and will be analyzed for gene expression changes. If successful, this study may provide preliminary data for a full powered randomized control trial if results show promise in the psycho-behavioral outcomes and genomic expression results.
This study will explore the effects of meditative movement on body composition in a group of 60 midlife women. Women will participate in 30-minute meditative movement (MM) classes for an eight-week period. Participants will be encouraged to practice MM at home for at least 30 minutes most days per week. Participants will be asked to complete a log of their time spent doing meditative movement outside of classes.

The focus of this project is to elucidate the gaps in care and enhance the provision of FGC-related health care and social services for women in Arizona who have experienced FGC; engaging the Somali and Somali Bantu communities. As of 2012, Arizona ranked 7th in the US for Somali refugee resettlement. The Refugee Women's Health Clinic (RWHC) is a nationally recognized best practice model for refugee women's health, providing specialized care for women with FGC. The project will accomplish four outcomes throughout its three-year duration: 1: Identify specific FGC-related health care needs and available health and social services for women in Arizona who have experienced FGC to improve services to FGC-affected communities; 2: Identify gaps, barriers, and/or assets in FGC-related health care and social services for women in Arizona who have experienced FGC to provide improved services to FGC-affected communities; 3: Create and implement FGC education efforts so that providers improve culturally competent care for women who have experienced FGC in health care and social service settings; and, 4: Create and implement community outreach and educational programs among communities affected by FGC to increase awareness of FGC-related health issues, prevention and services available. To inform these initiatives, an established infrastructure exists through the Refugee Women's Health Community Advisory Coalition (RWHCAC), a team of more than 60 stakeholders from various local ethnic organizations, refugee resettlement and voluntary agencies, mental health and social services agencies, and academic partners and including local voluntary resettlement agencies (VOLAGs) and Ethnic Community-Based Organizations (ECBOs). RWHCAC will be (a) involved in the planning/design of the project, (b) encouraged to assume responsibility to identify additional Community Mobilizers, (c) engaged in aligning educational material content to cultural standards, and (d) engaged in evaluating the project processes and outcomes. Project strategies include: (1) identifying specific FGC-related health care needs and available health and social services for FGC-affected women including identification of gaps, barriers, and/or assets in FGC-related care (year 1); (2) utilizing results from the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to refine existing educational materials and implement educational outreach efforts across the state to improve culturally competent care among providers (years 2 and 3); (3) promoting outreach and education among FGC-affected communities through development of culturally appropriate materials and community education sessions (years two and three); and, (4) partnering with Arizona Department of Health Services, the University of Arizona, and African Women's Health Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital during year 2 to deliver inter-professional training workshops for health and social service providers on FGC, and with Johns Hopkins University for FGC teleECHO™ video conferencing clinics to promote sustainability via links to online resources, educational materials, and webinars (years 2 and 3). Emergent products include online learning components, community education sessions, FGC teleECHO™ sessions, and capacity building trainings for all partners.

The purpose of this study is to test whether Meditative Movement (based on a standardized and tested Qigong/Tai Chi Easy protocol) is more efficacious for improving fatigue and other symptoms in women after treatment for breast cancer than (a) a non-meditative "sham" Qigong active intervention and (b) an inactive education / support group.
This project is a hybrid efficacy/effectiveness trial of a streamlined version of the Bridges program, an evidence-based intervention (EBI) to prevent substance abuse and mental health disorders. Bridges is an integrated parent-youth intervention evaluated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with Mexican Americans (immigrant and U.S. born) that showed long-term effects on multiple outcomes: substance use initiation and escalation, externalizing and internalizing symptoms, deviant peer association, and grade point average (GPA) in early adolescence; alcohol abuse disorder, binge drinking, marijuana use, risky sexual behavior, diagnosed mental disorder, and school dropout in late adolescence. Building on evidence of core intervention components and strategies for redesigning EBIs for the real-world, investigators will partner with low-income, multiethnic schools to adapt the program to a brief, 4-session format (Bridges short program, BSP), and optimize engagement, delivery, training, and implementation monitoring systems to facilitate dissemination and sustainability. The proposed RCT will also examine whether a parent-youth EBI can impact multiple channels of youth self-regulation (e.g., biological, behavioral, emotional) during adolescence when neurobiological systems are changing rapidly, and whether preexisting individual differences in self-regulation moderate program effects.
On Wednesday 22nd October 2014, SFU Public Square and the SFU Faculty of Education hosted Breaking the Mould: Innovations in Undergraduate Learning. This dynamic, one-day conference brought together leading academics, policy-makers, and innovative educators. This conference explored the theme of innovation in student-oriented learning. Innovations in pedagogy, technology, and programming were all explored. Visiting Keynote Speaker Robert E. Page Jr. is Provost for the University and Foundation Chair of Life Sciences. He was the Vice Provost and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (2011-2013) and the Founding Director of the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University (2004-2011). He joined ASU in 2004 after spending 15 years on the faculty of the University of California Davis where he served as Chair of Entomology from 1999-2004.

Losses of muscular fitness/balance are common occurrences with aging that can lead to an increased fall-risk. The accelerated bone loss that may accompany menopause makes some women even more "at-risk" for serious consequences related to falling. Interventions to reduce fall-risk have been conducted in an attempt to improve balance or muscular fitness, but often these interventions require monotonous exercises that don't arouse enough long-term interest to elicit the improvements. In other words, while the intervention may be beneficial, participants quit before they can realize any gains. Currently, there is little research that uses novel technology-based programs to promote balance exercises among middle-aged women. The Wii Fit system includes various strength and balance exercises integrated into games intended to have the participant have fun and retain interest, while also improving fitness. By using such a program, women could potentially improve their balance and decrease their fall risk in a way that is fun and exciting. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a Wii Fit based exercise program on balance/muscular fitness/markers of bone health in women between the ages of 45-60 with low bone mass. Volunteers who have moderately low bone levels (n = 28) will be randomly assigned to either the Wii Fit exercise intervention or a normally active control. Balance ability, muscular fitness, body composition, physical activity levels and markers of bone health will be assessed before and after the intervention. Each participant in the intervention will be provided a pre-programmed Wii Fit console and balance board to use at home. The intervention will consist of a 12-week program that they perform 30 minutes a day 3 days a week. The exercises include 10 minutes of Yoga poses and strength exercises and then 20 minutes of balance games such as soccer heading, ski slalom and table tilt. At the 6 week point and the conclusion of the intervention, participants will come to the lab for testing on the same tests done initially. The overall goal of this study is to gauge the efficacy of this intervention to improve balance, fitness, and bone health in at-risk women. This project is important because it offers an exciting, fun, and motivating way to impact fall-risk before clinical symptoms develop. Overall, this intervention could significantly reduce healthcare dollars spent on fall-related outcomes, as well as reduce fall-related mortality.
This study is to determine if telemedicine visits provide similar quality and patient/physician satisfaction as traditional office visits in a college health population.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a two-phase intervention using "community-to-clinic navigators" to guide individuals from an especially hard-to-reach, multicultural, and underinsured population into primary care clinics and, subsequently, to track effects of the intervention on completion of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in clinics. A cost-effectiveness analysis will lay the foundation for further implementation and dissemination research. Aim 1: Test effectiveness of community group education + tailored navigation versus community group education only in increasing clinic attendance among low-income, multicultural Arizona residents, aged 50 to 75 yrs. Hypothesis 1: Individuals receiving group education classes + tailored navigation will show higher rates of clinic attendance than those receiving only group education. \* As a separate critical step for those who make clinic appointments, the investigators will examine the effect on follow through to screening, using initial group assignment as a control variable in analysis. Patients making clinic appointments will receive referral for screening and tailored navigation as usual care. Aim 2: Track outcomes of the Phase I intervention on CRC screening test completion among low-income, multicultural Arizona residents aged 50 to 75 years who attend clinic. Hypothesis 2: Individuals receiving group classes and tailored navigation during Phase I will have higher rates of CRC screening test completion than those receiving classes only, (however this outcome will be primarily due to clinic attendance). Aim 3: Determine the cost-effectiveness of each phase of the interventions on increasing CRC screening completion among low-income, multicultural Arizona residents aged 50 to 75 years. Exploratory Aim 4: Examine the levels of program dissemination from community to clinic to final screenings using the RE-AIM model. Research Question 2: What is the degree of Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance of the community-to-clinic navigation, and clinic-to-screening outcomes?
Heart failure is a major health concern and is the leading cause of hospitalization among elderly Americans. Currently 5.7 million Americans are estimated to have heart failure and the estimated direct and indirect costs of treating heart failure are approximately $37.2 billion. Approximately 40% of those diagnosed with heart failure will have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). These individuals have significant restrictions in their ability to carry out activities of daily living. Exercise training has been established as adjuvant therapy in heart failure. Although exercise training guidelines for treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) are well established, no consensus exercise guidelines exist for management of HFPEF. Aerobic and cardiovascular adaptations are generally greater after high-intensity exercise training; interval-type exercise facilitates this type of training because it allows for rest periods that make it possible for patients with heart failure to perform short (e.g., 1-4 minutes) work periods at intensities that are higher than would be possible during continuous exercise. High-intensity aerobic interval training presents a unique, yet untested, therapeutic modality for the exercise training of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Pilot testing is warranted, results of which may have important implications for reducing cardiovascular risk, increasing short- and long-term quality of life and survival, and reducing healthcare costs in this patient population. The investigators primary specific aim is to determine the efficacy of a novel, high-intensity aerobic interval exercise training program for improving VO2peak (peak oxygen uptake), endothelial function, and arterial stiffness in patients with HFPEF. The investigators secondary aim is to determine whether the vascular changes are correlated with the changes in VO2peak.
The purpose of this study is to address priority Research Area 3 in PAR-08-270: Health information technology (HIT) to improve health care decision making through the use of integrated data and knowledge management. The proposed study will evaluate the use of HIT for clinician decision support and tailored patient education on the implementation of the current guidelines for the prevention of obesity-related chronic conditions in health disparity populations of poor, minority youth who access care through SBHCs. The specific aims are: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of web-based training with and without computerized clinical decision support on provider's process and outcome behaviors related to implementing the current guidelines for prevention of obesity and related conditions. a. Process variables include the following: i. Provider knowledge, attitudes, and barriers to implementing the guidelines. ii. Parent perception of the interpersonal process of care (i.e., provider communication, collaborative decision making, and interpersonal style). iii. Parent perception of provider support for their child's healthy eating and exercise. b. Behavior outcomes include the following: i. Provider self-reported behaviors of identification and assessment of overweight, counseling on nutrition and physical activity, use of behavioral interventions, referrals, and cultural competency. ii. Documentation by chart review of body mass index (BMI) percentile for age and sex; appropriate diagnosis when BMI \> 85th percentile; blood pressure (BP) percentile for age, height, and sex; and ordering appropriate laboratory tests when indicated. 2. To explore the role of HIT in the processes of system change for implementation of the guidelines for prevention of obesity and related conditions, including the facilitators, barriers, and impact of the care model on change.
This interdisciplinary multi-level study moves the research in asthma health disparities from descriptive studies of individual constructs and contexts to testing an integrated, multi-factorial model among Latino families and children with asthma. The investigators seek to gain a more thorough understanding of the interaction of individual characteristics, cultural and experiential factors, social-environmental context, and healthcare system factors on parents' illness representations, use of CAM and controller medications, and children's asthma health outcomes. This will be a one-year longitudinal, multi-site (Phoenix, AZ and Bronx, NY) study among samples of Mexican (N=300) and Puerto Rican (N=300) parents and children aged 5-12 who have asthma. Aim #1: Are there differences in illness representations between Mexican and Puerto Rican parents due to social and contextual factors (i.e., acculturation, education, parental age, poverty, child's illness duration, household members with asthma, and parent-healthcare provider relationship)? Aim #2: Are disparities in asthma control between Mexican and Puerto Rican children due to differences in parents' treatment decisions (CAM and controller medication use) and changes in illness representations over a one year period after controlling for the effects of acculturation, social and contextual factors, environmental triggers, and advice received from others?
This study compares the impact of cognitive-behavioral therapy for pain (CBT-P), mindful awareness and acceptance treatment (M), and arthritis education as an active control condition (E) on mental and physical health outcomes among adults with chronic pain due to fibromyalgia (FM).
Colorectal cancer screening remains lower than optimal. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of phone-based motivational interviewing versus tailored communication versus usual care in increasing CRC screening in primary care clinics.
Six-years following participation in the Family Bereavement Program (FBP) participants in the program as compared to a self-study control group will have lower levels of mental health problems, lower one-year prevalence of mental disorder that meets diagnostic criteria, lower use of substances, higher levels of competence at achieving developmentally appropriate tasks in academic achievement and social competence, and better self-esteem. The effects of the FBP will be moderated by baseline levels of mental health problems and gender. Bereaved caregivers who participated in the program will also show lower levels of mental health problems as compared with controls. Program effects will be mediated by theoretical mediators targeted by the program.
