We have created a workbook about Lynch Syndrome, a genetic condition that means an individual is at high risk of developing certain cancers, and family testing. It is important that patients with Lynch Syndrome tell their family members about their condition so their family members understand their risks and can be tested for Lynch Syndrome too. We are testing our workbook with a small group of patients with Lynch Syndrome to understand if the workbook is helpful in managing their condition and talking to family members.

Students in advanced academic programming, such as that provided in Early College High Schools (ECHSs), may experience stress that interferes with their academic success. Although ECHSs provide many supports to students, there is a need for additional programming to support students' social-emotional development and stress resilience. This study involves further developing, refining, implementing, and testing a multi-tiered adaptation of Be CALM (Cool, Attentive, Logical, and Mature), a mindfulness-based SEL program that aims to enhance staff and student wellbeing and SEL competencies. Mindfulness is a practice of Pressing the Pause on purpose and Tuning In to the present moment with a curious and kind attitude that has been shown to benefit social and emotional wellbeing in students. We expect that knowledge gained from this study will be used to advance understanding of how mindfulness may be helpful to ECHS students, teachers, and counselors.

This study will explore student self-regulated learning behaviors in introductory biology classes. In particular, it will collect data regarding the effectiveness of training materials and educational technology tools (the "ZenStudy" app) on improving students' ability to self-regulate their own learning and, subsequently, their achievement in the course. In the first few weeks of class enrolled students will be asked to complete a survey to verify they are over the age of 18 and if so ask for their consent to be included in the study. Consenting participants will then be randomly assigned to conditions (control students will be asked to review a video and complete a reflective task, treatment students will be invited to utilize the ZenStudy application and complete an evaluative survey). Engagement with the ZenStudy application will then be analyzed as a potential moderator of student digital course engagement and achievement.

A Phase IV, multicenter, randomized, open label trial to evaluate the effectiveness of inclisiran + usual care vs usual care alone as a tool to close care gaps within a pragmatic framework in an inclusive and underrepresented population at high risk for or diagnosed with ASCVD.

Mental health care for adolescents at-risk to suicide is often provided in school settings and school professionals play a role in suicide prevention by fostering a sense of connectedness to schools. The practice of social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19 has disrupted these school-based mental health services and left adolescents with few opportunities to connect with peers or adults outside their home making them vulnerable to suicide. Despite these challenges, this time period affords an opportunity to learn how to mitigate the impacts of this disruption, providing insights that extend to school closure related to inclement weather, natural disasters, and extended leaves due to mental health crises (e.g., hospitalization) faced by adolescents with suicidal urges. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of parents and adolescents with suicidal behaviors receiving school-based mental health services and supports during COVID-19. This study aims to provide
