Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation, which increases the risk for other metabolic diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids and their derivatives have anti-inflammatory properties but are reduced in people who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to determine if omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (SPM Active) for 3 months can effectively increase the biological levels of its lipid components in adult males who are overweight or obese. Additionally, we will determine if supplementation with SPM Active can improve mental health outcomes, as measured by validated surveys.
Purpose: This exploratory study aims to examine characteristics and patterns of victimization experiences and protective factors during youth through the life history calendar (LHC) method with a sample of young adults. Participants: This study will recruit 25 young adults (ages 18-24) who are of a racial or ethnic minoritized identity. Potential participants must also endorse experiencing at least two victimizations prior to the age of 18 that occurred over two months in duration and at least one victimization experience rated as having had a moderately severe impact on the individual. Procedures: Participants will retrospectively reflect on their victimization experiences (onset, duration, perceived severity of impact) and perceived protective factors during childhood and early adolescence (< 18 years old) through the completion of an LHC interview.

We are implementing a digital health intervention, mPATH-Cloud, in one community health center. Patients who receive a link to the mPATH-Cloud website will be able to view a video designed to help them choose the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test that is best for them. Patients who select colonoscopy will receive a referral from their primary care provider. Patients who do not select colonoscopy will receive a FIT in the mail. We will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing mPATH-Cloud in combination with mailed FIT outreach for increasing CRC screening among community health center patients.
