The purpose of this study is to understand how people participate in a professional community of practice about water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in healthcare facilities. We are conducting an online survey to understand how members of this community of practice prefer to participate (e.g., what types of activities) and what barriers they experience to participation.
This study will look at how different characteristics of people (age, income, etc.) impacts their willingness to pay higher prices for responsibly produced goods. This information will help businesses understand the effects of the increased prices associated with sustainability and responsible production, and recognize if their potential consumer base is affected.
The purpose of this study is to examine the association between religion/culture and experiences of contamination.
The purpose of this study is to build a database of information and a collection of specimens like blood and skin from patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. This will help us understand hidradenitis suppurativa better and help researchers have access to good information and resources for studies.
We are interested in learning about current knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors related locally transmitted malaria in the United States.
The purpose of this research study is to understand how people decide whether or not to have cardiac devices implanted in their bodies after meeting indications for treatment. It will examine the ways people make decisions about their devices in everyday life. This study will also consider the roles of external influences, including family and community, in how people make decisions about how to use their devices. Participation in this study will consist of a thirty-minute to one-hour interview. Research is designed to benefit society by gaining new knowledge. You will not benefit personally from being in this research study. There are no known risks involved with this study.
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.
The objectives of this pivotal clinical trial are to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PASCAL System for transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with OMT (optimal medical therapy) compared to OMT alone in the treatment of patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility implementing Integrative Medical Group Visits (IMGVs) for patients with chronic pain in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). IMGVs are an innovative way of delivering care for patients with chronic pain, combining medical care, group support, health education, and experiential activities such as mindfulness, chair yoga, and self-massage. IMGVs have been studied before and found to be helpful for patients. In this study, we are evaluating how to implement IMGVs into community health centers that receive funding from the federal government to provide care to patients regardless of ability to pay---called FQHCs. We will look at outcomes related to effectiveness of IMGVs to address chronic pain, as well as cost to the patients and clinic, acceptability and feasibility of delivering the program, and sustainability of keeping IMGVs going at the clinic over time.
The purpose of this study is to tell if a disinfectant wipe with a blue dye additive increases the thoroughness of cleaning and disinfection and reduces contamination.
