The goal of this clinical trial is to test if a multilevel (school, home) physical activity intervention for school-aged (3rd-5th grade) children can increase physical activity levels. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * The impact of the multilevel program on children's physical literacy and physical activity over one school year. Hypothesis: * Whether the program effects are different by children's gender or weight status * Whether changes in children's ability, confidence and motivation for physical activity are related to changes in physical activity levels. Schools will be randomly assigned to receive the multilevel intervention or a control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive a new school curriculum during regular physical education classes and information for families on what school activities can be done at home. Researchers will compare outcomes according to intervention and control group assignments.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Integrated Resiliency Training and Task Sharing (IRTTS) to Workplace Improvement Learning Collaborative (WILC) in group homes for adults with serious mental illness and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is IRTTS superior to WILC in improving residential care worker (RCW) resiliency; stress management and burnout; depression and anxiety; and positive health behaviors? * Is IRTTS superior to WILC in improving RCW turnover/retention; RCW sick days/absenteeism; and group home safety and resident incidents? * What are the barriers, facilitators, and resources required to successfully implement IRTTS and WILC? Participants may engage in training sessions, collaborate with residents and other RCWs in their group homes, attend meetings with RCWs from other group homes, complete surveys, participate in focus groups, and/or give qualitative interviews. Researchers will compare IRTTS to WILC to see which intervention should be implemented to achieve the greatest improvement in RCW resiliency and greatest reduction in burnout and turnover in group homes for adults with serious mental illness and/or developmental and intellectual disabilities.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a novel psychosocial intervention is effective in helping adults over 50 with serious mental illness (SMI) increase their social connections and participate in more healthy lifestyle activities. The Hopeful and Healthy Living (HHL) intervention combines social skills training and training in cognitive self-management strategies in order to help older adults build healthy lifestyle and social routines. We predict that: * Individuals who participate in the HHL intervention will improve more in perceived social support (i.e., what people get from relationships such as reliance, reassurance of worth, attachment) and loneliness at the 4-, 8-, and 12-month follow-up assessments than those who receive treatment as usual (TAU). * Individuals who participate in the HHL intervention will improve more in overall psychosocial functioning at the 4-, 8-, and 12-month follow-up assessments than those who receive TAU. * Individuals who participate in the HHL intervention will improve more in cognitive functioning at the 4-, 8-, and 12-month follow-up assessments than those who receive TAU. * Individuals who participate in the HHL intervention will improve more in healthy behaviors (sleep, activity, diet) at the 4-, 8-, and 12-month follow-up assessments than those who receive TAU. In this trial, participants will be either receive the HHL intervention or participate in their regular treatment activities (treatment as usual). HHL vs. TAU will be compared to see if there are any differences in social support, cognition, loneliness, psychosocial functioning, or healthy lifestyle activities including physical activity, sleep, and diet. Participants will be asked to complete an interview-based assessment at baseline, 4-months, 8-months, and 12-months. After completing the baseline assessment, those who are in the experimental group will participate in the 16-week long HHL group intervention.

Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) are defined as the descendants of the original peoples of Polynesia (e.g., Hawai'i, Sāmoa, and Tonga), Melanesia (e.g., Fiji), and Micronesia (e.g., Guam, Chuuk, and Marshall Islands). Their history with the U.S. parallels that of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Before Western contact, NHPIs had thriving societies with rich cultural traditions. After contact, NHPI communities were decimated to near extinction by infectious diseases, exploited for their cultural and natural resources, displaced from their ancestral lands, forced to assimilate to Western ways, and marginalized through legislative acts and compulsory assimilation policies (i.e., banning native language). The consequences have been high rates of cardiometabolic medical conditions, such as obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. These medical conditions are, in part, a result of cultural disruptions and displacement that altered the traditional practices of NHPI and led to poor social determinants of health (SDOH). The basic premise of our project is that Community Health Workers (CHWs) can accelerate health equity for NHPI communities by disseminating and implementing culturally responsive, evidence-based interventions to prevent cardiometabolic medical conditions and improve their SDOH. The purpose of this project is to test the potential efficacy of the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP) with integrated social determinants of health (SDOH) components and have it delivered by NHPI Community Health Workers (CHWs) to NHPIs with cardiometabolic-related conditions in a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a waitlist control. The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of the PLP+SDOH in improving the primary outcomes of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight in 180 adult NHPIs with pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and/or overweight/obesity.

Our long-term goal is to contribute to the development of evidence-based nutritional and physical activity recommendations for the prevention and management of overweight and obesity and related chronic diseases. The overall objective for this study is to determine if a 20-week educational program, project DFEND, related to behavior change and health will improve nutrition and physical activity outcomes as well as indicators of wellbeing. Our central hypothesis is that regular attendance of weekly lectures, weekly meetings with personalized coaches, and weekly health challenges via virtual platforms (e.g. Zoom, Facebook, YouTube) will improve health outcomes related to nutrition and physical activity. Our rationale for these studies is that the results of this research will enhance the potential to develop evidence-based nutritional and physical activity behavioral recommendations to treat and/or prevent development of overweight and obesity.

The proposed multicomponent digital health intervention has the potential to significantly impact the trajectory of maternal health in a rural, pregnant, Black adolescent population with the highest risks for cardiometabolic diseases worldwide. The proposed implementation strategy leverages mobile technologies which are ubiquitous across the socioeconomic gradient and proposes to train young adult WIC moms to deliver peer health coaching in a telehealth setting to address social barriers and support behavior change in pregnant, Black adolescent WIC clients in the Mississippi Delta - a rural region where the population is more than two-thirds percent Black and the teen birth rate is the highest in the United States. This is a scalable and sustainable approach to enhance WIC services and improve WIC's impact on population health and cardiometabolic health disparities in Black women.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a technology-driven independent exercise program on health outcomes associated with dementia risk among underactive rural adults. Underactive adults (n=50), ages 40-70 years, from federally designated rural and frontier Kansas counties will be recruited to participate in this study. Specific inclusionary and exclusionary criteria will be used to screen potential participants and determine eligibility. Following recruitment and screening, participants will complete baseline physical fitness and health assessments, supervised by the research team. Following completion of baseline assessments, a personal training/fitness app will be employed to design and deliver exercise programming and track exercise participation, adherence and progression over the course of the study. All prescribed exercise will follow national governing body recommendations and include specific exercises found in previous work to be beneficial for physical health and brain plasticity. The study team will record exercise instruction videos that can be accessed by all participants at any time throughout the study. The particular app used will allow the research team to organize exercise videos into structured training sessions, allowing participants to exercise on their own, at the location of their choice, with ample instruction. The app will also allow participants to record themselves performing various exercises and send them to the research team for analysis of technique and safety. Communication between study personnel and participants will be delivered via the app. Phone calls and/or Zoom sessions will be offered as an alternative if necessary. Our goal is to create a safe, effective means of delivering personalized exercise programming to rural adults that reduces barriers to exercise, improves physical fitness and biomarkers associated with dementia risk and lends itself to exercise adherence in a population that is at an increased risk for cognitive decline. Middle aged adults will be included in the study as they are at an age when successful behavior change is more probable (than older, institutionalized adults); older adults will be included as they are in the high-risk category for dementia. Following the exercise intervention, all baseline assessments will be repeated. Data will be compared to determine the impact of the exercise program on each variable (i.e. dementia risk biomarkers, QOL, physical fitness, etc.).

Minimally processed animal protein is a premier source of essential macro and micronutrients in the diet and is important, especially to older adults who are at increased risk of nutritional deficiency and age-related physiological changes. Our central hypothesis is that adding lean animal protein within a healthy diet following macronutrient recommendations for Americans will enhance nutrient adequacy and attenuate markers of cognitive decline. This is a retrospective study leveraging samples collected from the feeding trial NCT05581953. PI for both studies are the same.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Older adults may feel at risk for falling, but do not have a physical risk of falling. On the other hand, some older adults may not feel at risk for falling, but do have a physical risk of falling. This study is being done to test a preventative, in-home exercise program (called PEER) which may allow older adults to improve balance, align the perceived risk for falling with the physical risk for falling, and prevent falls. Participants will be asked to participate in this study for approximately 9 months. This study has three specific aims: 1. Examine differences in balance, fall risk, and physical activity after program completion, follow-up 3 months and 6 months between older adults (OAs) in the Physio-fEedback Exercise pRogram (PEER) intervention and OAs in attention control (AC) condition. 2. Explore differences in exercise adherence and the proportion of shifting in fall risk appraisal and negative self-perception on aging after program completion, follow-up 3 months and 6 months between OAs in the PEER intervention and OAs in AC condition. 3. Explore participants' experiences with the PEER intervention and potential barriers to access and adoption of the technology-based PEER intervention to inform future research. Participants will be asked to participate in this study for approximately 9 months. This includes the baseline assessment, 8 weeks of PEER activities or attention control activities, and follow-up assessments at 3 months and 6 months. After the informed consent and completion of the baseline assessments, participants will be randomized to either the PEER intervention or the attention control (AC) group. Participants in the PEER intervention group will be asked to participate in group exercises (60 minutes per week for 8 weeks) and home-based exercises (twice a week for 8 weeks) that focus on balance, strength training with a peer coach. Participants in the AC group will receive an information pamphlet developed by the CDC about falls called Simple Exercises for Improving Balance and Preventing Falls in Older Adults. Topics include information on fall risks, how to prevent falls, how to check for safety, postural hypotension, and chair rise exercises. The control group will be encouraged to discuss fall prevention with a primary care provider and continue normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Lifestyle 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 Lifestyle 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 Lifestyle 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 Lifestyle 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 Lifestyle 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 Lifestyle clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Olives for a Healthy Lifestyle, Exercise Program for Lymphoma and Plant-based Lifestyle Intervention for Diabetes to the Power online platform.
