NCT07300930
This SBIR Phase II proposal will fully develop and test the acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy of a novel measurement and feedback system, SMART-Wrap, tailored to Wraparound service model (WSM) for youth with serious emotional disorders (SED). SMART-Wrap will be a feasible, cost-efficient, and scalable software system to meet the pressing public health need for measurement-based care in care coordination for youth behavioral health. Results from pilot testing will determine SMART-Wrap's feasibility, usability, and efficacy in improving care quality and family outcomes, in addition to preparing the product for commercialization.
NCT05763537
Detailed Description The doula-led intervention developed during the first phase of this project will be pilot tested for feasibility. Following the recruitment procedures described in the recruitment and retention plan, approximately 75 participants will be enrolled into the study. Twenty-five of the participants will receive regular doula care and 25 of the participants will receive care from a doula trained in the PMAD doula training throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum time period, following the intervention procedures developed in Aim 2 of this study. Twenty-five women will not receive care from a doula and will receive perinatal care as usual. Women in all groups will take surveys via REDCap during their enrollment in the intervention, at 1 month postpartum, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum (at the conclusion of the intervention). All participants who receive the PMAD doula intervention will complete checklists after each session with their doula, to assess fidelity to the intervention. Participant communication with their doula via patient notebook will also be assessed for fidelity to the intervention.
NCT06934954
The EASE program is an existing, evidence-based program/intervention (originally developed by the WHO), and this study is limited to evaluating the local implementation of this program. The aims of this pilot study are to: * Assess the acceptability and feasibility of training and supervision of EASE Helpers (community staff members) through an adapted EASE training. * Evaluate possible problems of recruitment, intervention delivery, and participant retention. * Assess the feasibility of EASE being delivered via a partnership between researchers and community members. * Evaluate implementation of EASE via the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework A mixed-methods design with qualitative and quantitative approaches will be used to assess these objectives.
NCT05099705
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a family navigator training and an app (a technology-based treatment support system) for low-resourced families of young children (aged 3-5) with autism. The hypothesis is that the navigator training and treatment support system will help enable navigators to support families of young children with autism in accessing needed services.
NCT05743712
This SBIR Phase I study will test the acceptability and feasibility of a novel measurement and feedback system tailored to Wraparound service model (WSM) for emotional disorders to produce a feasible, cost-efficient, and scalable software system to meet the pressing public health need for Measurement-based Care in care coordination for youth behavioral health.
NCT03891368
Healthcare organizations have increasingly formed quality-improvement Learning Collaboratives to improve care for specific populations; however, there are few data on the effectiveness of this strategy compared to conventional training approaches. The primary aim of this cluster randomized implementation trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual learning collaborative (VLC) in the implementation of a lifestyle intervention for persons with serious mental illness (SMI) in routine mental health settings, compared to typical implementation consisting of site training and one-on-one individual technical assistance (TA). The investigators hypothesize that VLC compared to TA will be associated with greater Program Participation, Program Fidelity, and a greater proportion of participants achieving clinically significant weight loss.
NCT01918774
In 2010, 11.5% of all Gulf War-II Veterans were unemployed; that figure rose to 15.2% in January 2011 and continues to grow as the number of Veterans from recent wars increases. The prevalence of mental illness among Veterans is also notable; estimates range from 31% to nearly 37% for any psychiatric disorder, and over half of these Veterans are diagnosed with more than one psychiatric condition. In addition, empirical evidence suggests that some mental disorders are more prevalent in Veterans than in the general population. Linking unemployment and mental illness, a recent study found that 65% of Veterans using VA healthcare were unemployed, and compared to employed Veterans, the unemployed were more likely to have depression, bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, or substance use disorders. Vocational dysfunction was reported most often in disabled Veterans with schizophrenia, PTSD, and substance use disorders. Not surprisingly, this study also found that unemployed Veterans had significantly lower income than employed persons. Similarly, a large study focusing specifically on Veterans with PTSD concluded that vocational dysfunction is a notable problem among this group, as they were significantly less likely to be employed after participating in VA work programs compared with participants without the disorder. Because most individuals with mental illness desire to work in regular competitive employment, the nationwide problem of unemployment among Veterans with mental illness is particularly troubling. The VA is addressing this need by implementing supported employment (SE), a psychiatric rehabilitation approach that provides individual vocational assistance to Veterans with mental illness. While the SE model is empirically validated and SE programs have been shown to achieve partial success in improving employment outcomes, a sizable proportion of individuals, 40% or more, remain unemployed. A further challenge is job retention; Veterans with mental illness who obtain jobs frequently struggle to maintain them long-term. Even in the context of high quality, evidence-based vocational services, most studies show only modest job retention of a few months, and consequently, frequent job losses and inconsistent vocational functioning remain a substantial and unsolved problem. Rationale: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) effectively reduces symptoms across a range of psychiatric conditions; however, its benefit to functioning remains less well understood. Work functioning has received little empirical attention in the CBT domain. Despite research evidence suggesting that maladaptive thoughts about oneself and expectations about the ability to work interfere with work success, no CBT programs have been developed specifically targeting vocational themes with the goal of improving competitive work outcomes. Further, a recent paper outlined needed avenues of future study in the SE domain; Drake and Bond (2011) state that cognitive strategies may be a fruitful area to develop to help "nonresponder" consumers with mental illness who struggle with vocational dysfunction despite high quality vocational assistance. The goal of the current project is to address this gap and the serious problem of unemployment in Veterans with mental illness by pilot testing the CBT for work success program (CBTw) and assessing key employment outcomes before and after the intervention, and six months after conclusion of the intervention. Specific Aims: Aim 1: Test the preliminary efficacy of the CBTw program on key Veteran employment and psychosocial outcomes utilizing a pre/post design. Aim 2: Further assess the feasibility of the program, including recruitment, retention rates, and program participation rates. Aim 3: Gauge effect sizes in preparation for a larger randomized controlled trial examining the effectiveness of the CBT program in routine practice settings
NCT01476618
The purpose of this study is to gather information from VISN 19 Denver VA mental health professionals regarding their perspectives of necessary resources to provide best practice mental health service to Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)/ Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Veterans. Specifically, this study aims to describe provider perspectives regarding the following: a) clinical needs of OIF/OEF Veterans; b) collaboration and referral processes; c) barriers to providing optimal treatment to this cohort d) provider needs and resources that may improve service delivery to this cohort; e) provider perspectives regarding psychiatric outcomes in this cohort; and f) professional satisfaction. Support for this study is provided by previous research evaluating Veteran's Administration (VA) needs to provide service to OIF/OEF Veterans (Sayer, et al. 2009; Friedmann-Sanchez, et al. 2008). The above information will be obtained using semi-structured interview. Hypotheses are not provided as this is an exploratory qualitative study.
