African Americans are twice as likely to have type 2 diabetes as non-Hispanic Whites and are less likely to engage in effective diabetes self-management. There is a critical need for intensive lifestyle interventions that address the distress inherent in having the disease and the unique stressors faced by African Americans that may worsen diabetes-related health outcomes. Our program, Resilience-Based Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support, integrates resilience resources with diabetes self-management skills to enable African-American patients to manage the daily demands of the disease and improve long-term adherence to healthy lifestyle choices, thereby reducing the negative health burden of diabetes.

This study aims to culturally adapt an existing American Diabetes Association (ADA)-recognized diabetes self-management and support or DSMES (Diabetes Self Management Education Support) program (Project Dulce) and integrate an evidence-based text messaging program (Dulce Digital) for implementation in Filipino Americans (FAs) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Cultural adaptations aims to facilitate and enhance patient centered approaches and increase participant engagement by addressing barriers to DSMES unique to FAs, such as linguistic challenges, health literacy and numeracy, cultural beliefs and values, and technology access and use. In addition, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of the culturally and digitally adapted Project Dulce + Dulce Digital in improving diabetes knowledge, belief, attitudes, hemoglobin A1C (glycosylated hemoglobin), and self-management behaviors at baseline to 3 months and 6 months. The unprecedented increase of T2DM prevalence among racial and ethnic minority populations including FAs in recent decades demands for effective strategies to meet the needs in DSMES in this population. The outcomes of the current study will demonstrate that the culturally adapted Project Dulce and integration of Dulce Digital is effective in addressing the needs FAs, an underserved racial and ethnic minority group in high need of culturally appropriate DSMES.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) affects millions of individuals worldwide every year. It has long been thought that the vast majority of individuals who sustain a mTBI experience natural recovery with little or no intervention and return to baseline functioning within days to weeks of injury. However, recent large studies have demonstrated that a substantial number of individuals experience prolonged symptoms (e.g., cognitive impairment, headaches, affective symptoms). These symptoms, termed "Persistent Post-concussive Symptoms" (PPCS) are associated with significant functional disability and reduced quality of life (QOL) and can last for years post-injury. While PPCS can include affective, cognitive, and somatosensory/vestibular symptoms, objective and subjective cognitive symptoms - particularly in the domains of attention, memory, processing speed, and executive function - are among the most commonly reported following mTBI. There is currently no gold-standard intervention to address these symptoms. To address this gap, our research group developed a brief cognitive rehabilitation intervention called Tools for Rehabilitation and Cognitive Care (or On-TRACC). The goals of this clinical trial are: AIM 1: Compare the efficacy of On-TRACC to a psychoeducation control on reduction of self-reported cognitive post-concussive symptoms (Aim 1.1) and overall neurobehavioral post concussive symptoms and (Aim 1.2) following treatment and at 3-month follow-up (Aim 1.3) in a randomized clinical trial of community-dwelling adults with mTBI. AIM 2: Compare the efficacy of On-TRACC and psychoeducation on change in secondary outcomes, including cognitive self-efficacy, compensatory strategy use, self-management skills, and quality of life at post-treatment and 3-month follow-up. Exploratory AIM 3: Compare the efficacy of On-TRACC and psychoeducation on: primary and secondary outcomes at 6-months post-treatment and (Aim 3.1) explore whether engaging in On-TRACC leads to subsequent engagement in care by assessing whether there is a different level of participation in optional intervention booster sessions in the post-intervention period (Aim 3.2). All participants will: * Complete a series of assessments * Complete 6 treatment sessions via telehealth (either On-TRACC or psychoeducation) All participants will have the option of: * Attending weekly "Booster Sessions" between 3 and 6-months post-treatment * Completing neuropsychological assessments at 2 timepoints during the study

Peer Education for Bipolar Disorder

Vancouver, British Columbia
Self-management strategies can be used by individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) to cope with symptoms and improve quality of life (QoL). Peer-facilitated education programs have the potential to diversify delivery of self-management information by capitalizing on the expertise of individuals who live well with BD. We have co-designed a novel, peer-facilitated, QoL-focused, group education program for people living with BD. This project will involve administration of the program and an evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of this program for self-management of BD.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Self-Management 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 Self-Management 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 Self-Management 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 Self-Management 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 Self-Management 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 Self-Management clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Culturally Tailored Education for Type 2 Diabetes, Holistic Interventions for Chronic Pain and Diet Education App for Inflammatory Bowel Disease to the Power online platform.
