Parent Infant Interaction Intervention

he purpose of Parents and Infants Inter(X)action Intervention (PIXI) is to study ways of supporting the early development of infants diagnosed with rare neurogenetic disorders in their first year of life. PIXI is funded by the John Merck Fund and is led by RTI International (RTI) in collaboration with researchers at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. The team includes neurodevelopmental psychologists, early interventionists, and experts in neurogenetic conditions (e.g., fragile X syndrome, Angelman syndrome), autism spectrum disorder, and early childhood development. The goal of PIXI is to provide developmental and behavioral support for infants with rare neurogenetic disorders through a two-phase targeted parent-mediated intervention program.

LCC Warnings - Representative Survey

In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.

Pneumococcal Immunogenicity in Nephrotic Syndrome Study

Infections occurring in individuals with glomerular disease are preventable contributors to excess healthcare utilization, morbidity, and mortality, and are the leading cause of death in children with glomerular disease. Vaccination is a powerful and cost-effective method to attenuate infectious burden, and clinical guidelines recommend that patients with glomerular disease receive 23-valent pneumococcal (PPSV23) vaccine. The main objective of the study is to determine functional PPSV23 immunogenicity in a prospectively collected multicenter cohort of children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome using measurements of anti-pneumococcal and opsonophagocytic antibody titers prior to, and 1, 3 and 12 months following PPSV23 vaccination.

Validation and administration of a new tablet-based voice-enabled application

The purpose of this study is to validate a new voice-enabled tablet to ensure it is an accurate and acceptable way to administer PROs questionnaires in Malawi. This voice-enabled tablet was developed specifically for patient populations who are unable to comfortably read and write, so that they can have equal access to participating in direct self-reporting their own PROs Questionaries without needing and interviewer to assist them. Once validated in the first 50 participants, then we will continue to enroll 500 participants who will take the PROMIS-25 and/or PRO-CTCAE Questionnaires at various time points throughout their treatment. This will allow you to directly self-complete the PRO surveys and give you a voice so that your struggles, quality of life, and symptoms can be more accurately and comprehensively communicated to the medical care team. We hope that through administering these PROs questionnaires, it will also improve the overall care, management of
