Outcome measures are ways we tell how well babies are doing in the hospital or after going home. Outcome measures used in research may not be the best. One reason is that medications, devices, or care practices can affect many different organ systems, so it is important evaluate more than one area. Another is deciding whether to measure outcomes while the infant is still in the hospital or to wait see how the infant is doing after going home. That decision is complex; one consideration is that some families cannot be reached after going home and their valuable information is lost. Finally, researchers and doctors often view outcomes differently than families. While it is important researchers and doctors make sure outcomes are valid and medically relevant, it is just as important to understand parents' and caregivers' opinions on outcome measures.

The purpose of this study is to culturally adapt a mindfulness-based intervention for American Indian women.
Patients will undergo a blood draw for a gene classifier test. Some patients will have their physicians informed of the result, and another group of patients will be randomized to be managed by standard of care. Qualifying patients have incidentally identified lung nodules assessed as < 50% risk of cancer.
The purpose of the study is to identify certain processes following brain injury that may be associated with the risk of developing epilepsy.
This study is testing a medication called ziltivekmab to see if it can help people with heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to examine clinical approaches to chronic pain among different medical specialties, types of chronic pain, and patient populations.
The goal of this study is to learn what voters value in the congressional candidates.
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.
Findings from this project will identify urgently needed strategies for improving school-based mental health supports for adolescents with suicidal thoughts and behaviors to prevent suicide during resurgences of COVID-19 that force school closures.
