The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how a Coping Skills Training program can reduce depression and anxiety in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly those who face health disparities, including those with low income, different racial backgrounds, or those living in rural areas. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How does the Coping Skills Training program help reduce stress and anxiety in patients? * What causes variations in the effectiveness of the Coping Skills Training program? * What are the barriers and facilitators to the uptake of the Coping Skills Training program? Researchers will compare a 12-week Coping Skills Training program with a COPD Education program to see if the training leads to better health outcomes for participants. Participants will: * Take part in weekly 30-minute sessions for 12 weeks if assigned to the Coping Skills Training group. * Take part in weekly 10-minute sessions for 12 weeks if assigned to the COPD Education group. * Complete surveys before, during, and after the intervention. * Patients and caregivers, including those who chose not to enroll, as well as clinicians, will be invited to participate in interviews to share their perspectives.

The purpose of this study is to see if it is possible (feasible) to introduce a behavioral intervention for family members affected by a relative's misuse of drugs and/or alcohol in the United States. The intervention is called the 5-Step Method. It will be a randomized control trial, with a total of 36 participants, and 18 in each group. The study lasts for approximately 12 weeks for the participant. The intervention group will receive a self-help handbook of the 5-Step Method, and the control group will not. Although the control group will not receive an intervention from the research team, they are allowed to look for and use any currently available program for affected family members (for example, Al-Anon, or Nar-Anon) during the study period. The study is being done because the 5-Step Method has not been used or evaluated in the U.S. (or the creators are unaware that it is in use here). There are two aims (objectives): (1) to see if it is feasible to introduce the 5-Step Method into the U.S.; (2) to look at trends in the baseline and followup survey scores to see if there is evidence of preliminary participant response.

The main goal of this clinical trial is to test benefits of completing online pain coping skills training program in women who have been diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer, who have completed their primary cancer treatment, who are taking an AI medication, and who have arthralgia. Arthralgia is a type of joint, bone, and muscle pain that is a common side effect of AI medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether online pain coping skills training reduces the severity of pain and the interference it causes in women's daily lives. 2. Whether online pain coping skills training improves emotional distress, quality of life, and adherence to AI medications. 3. Whether benefits of online pain coping skills training are at least partially caused by women's increased confidence that they can manage their pain and a reduction in unhelpful thinking patterns about pain. 4. Whether online pain coping skills training improves effects of AI medications on sleep problems and symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and night sweats. Participants can complete all parts of the study at home. They will: 1. Complete four sets of questionnaires throughout the study, which will take about 9 to 10 months. 2. Attend 3 meetings in the first month of the study, all of which can be held via a video conference. 3. Use an electronic pill bottle to track their use of their AI medication. 4. Be randomized (like flipping a coin) to one of two study arms: They will either receive education about AIs and arthralgia or they will receive this education along with access to an online pain coping skills training program. Research will compare the education group to the education plus online pain coping skills training group to see if online pain coping skills training has the benefits mentioned above.

Investigators will evaluate a group format adaptation of Brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Suicide (i.e., G-BCBT) on suicide ideation (Aim 1), ability to use coping strategies (Aim 2), and overall mental health (exploratory analysis). The combination of tailored means safety counseling and training in evidence-based emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility skills delivered via a 12-session group therapy treatment will decrease service members' overall suicide risk. The group format will provide opportunities to learn and practice skills, thereby enhancing self-efficacy. G-BCBT outcomes are expected to be no worse than Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group skills training, an existing gold standard intervention that is twice the length of time as G-BCBT.

Racial and ethnic minority children who live in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities are disproportionately impacted by pandemic and climate-induced disasters. Although effective interventions have been designed to treat mental health related symptoms in post-disaster settings, accessible, empirically supported prevention interventions are needed to prevent the onset of mental and behavioral health issues among these children. Building on our preliminary findings, the proposed study examines the efficacy and implementation of a COVID-19 adapted disaster focused prevention intervention, Journey of Hope-C19, in preventing behavioral health and interpersonal problems among racial and ethnic minority children who live in low-resource high poverty communities.

Affecting nearly 800,000 people in the US every year, stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, and has serious consequences for stroke survivors and their carepartners. Our project uses a scientifically rigorous efficacy study to evaluate a remotely delivered 8-week dyadic (couples-based) positive psychology intervention to reduce emotional distress in stroke survivors and their carepartners. If successful, couples may be better emotionally equipped to cope with the sequelae of stroke, and have better rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life.

This study will identify components for inclusion in a coping intervention package to reduce mental health problems among children exposed to high interparental conflict after parental separation/divorce. Reappraisal, distraction, and relaxation coping strategies are related to fewer mental health problems among children, making intervention components based on these strategies key candidates for inclusion in an optimized coping intervention. The primary aim is to experimentally assess the main and interactive effects of three digital intervention coping components (reappraisal, distraction, relaxation) on children's coping efficacy, emotional security, and internalizing and externalizing problems. Secondary aims are to assess indirect effects of the intervention components on children's coping efficacy, emotional security, and internalizing and externalizing problems through their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions to post-separation/divorce interparental conflict events.

PRECISE for Suicide Prevention

San Diego, California
Individuals at high-risk of suicide vary substantially from one another. Over time, risk factors for suicide may change within the same individual. Despite these differences, most treatments for suicidal thoughts assume that the same intervention works equally well for all individuals at high-risk of suicide. Intensive longitudinal data combined with network science, integrated with coaching, could be used to personalize suicide prevention interventions to make them more effective and efficient. This K23 Career Development application involves refining and testing a novel personalized treatment for individuals at high-risk called PeRsonalizEd Clinical Intervention for Suicidal Events or PRECISE. PRECISE leverages idiographic statistical techniques adopted from network science applied to ecological momentary assessment data to inform the tailoring of Safety Planning and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, two existing evidence-based treatments for suicide. In Aim 1, a user-centered design approach will be used to refine PRECISE. Following the refinement of the intervention, informed by data from a case series in Aim 1, the investigators will then conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing two different intensities of personalization. In the low-intensity arm, the 8-week treatment will be tailored based on an initial two-week burst of ecological momentary assessment and one idiographic model. In the high-intensity arm, participants complete eight weeks of ecological momentary assessment and idiographic models are generated between each session. Coaches use the idiographic models to identify an individuals' drivers of suicidal thoughts and conduct behavioral chain analyses to tailor specific skills to then teach, shape, and reinforce in their individual clients. Assessments are completed pre-treatment, 8-weeks post-enrollment, and 16-weeks enrollment. The investigators hypothesize that both arms will demonstrate clinically significant reductions in suicidal ideation, but the high-intensity arm will be superior to the low-intensity arm in reducing ideation. Furthermore, the investigators anticipate that increases in effective emotion regulation skills and reductions in negative affect will account for the decrease in suicidal ideation. As individuals learn more effective emotion regulation strategies, they will experience less distress and thereby lower levels of suicidal ideation. This project is responsive to Objective 3.2 of the NIMH Strategic Plan and is integrated with a mentored research training plan focused on 1) suicide specific rigorous clinical trials, 2) user centered design in digital health, and 3) applications of network science to intensive longitudinal data. The project and training goal will support the Candidate's overarching goal to become a clinician-scientist engaged in independent research on personalized, impactful, rapid acting suicide prevention interventions for at risk adults.

The goal of this study is to establish feasibility, acceptability, and proof-of-concept of an psychosocial intervention adapted to address social health needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) newly diagnosed with cancer. The aims of this study are to: 1. Determine if the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management - Social Needs (PRISM-SN) adapted intervention is feasible and acceptable, defined via program uptake and retention and patient-reported feedback. 2. Explore whether PRISM-SN improves social outcomes at 12-week follow-up compared to usual care. Participants will be randomized to receive usual psychosocial care or the PRISM-SN program. Participants on both arms will complete patient-reported outcome surveys at enrollment and 12-weeks later. Researchers will compare participants who received the PRISM-SN program to those who received usual care to see if the program improves psychosocial outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Coping Skills clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Coping Skills clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Coping Skills trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Coping Skills is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Coping Skills medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Coping Skills clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Psychosocial Intervention for Brain Cancer, PRECISE for Suicide Prevention and Weyera Intervention for Mental Health Issues to the Power online platform.
