This is a Phase II parallel group randomized controlled trial with 294 adolescents (age: 14-21 years) with alcohol and other drug \[AOD\] use disorder (hereafter substance use disorder), that compares two different active psychosocial interventions designed to address adolescent substance use disorder. Participants are recruited from our clinical settings and the community at two sites: one in the metro Boston, Massachusetts (MA) area and the other in the metro Farmington, Connecticut (CT), area. Study aims and hypotheses are as follows: 1. To extend the evidence for the initial efficacy of Integrated Treatment for Enhancing Growth in Recovery During Adolescence (InTEGRA), which integrates 12-Step Facilitation (TSF) with Motivational Enhancement Therapy/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MET/CBT) relative to gold standard MET/CBT alone (N = 294). It is hypothesized that youth assigned to InTEGRA will have greater 12-step participation during and following treatment, higher abstinence rates, and fewer substance-related negative consequences. 2. Investigate the personal recovery capital (PRC) and social recovery capital (SRC) mechanisms of behavior change through which InTEGRA may confer benefits dynamically over time (e.g., PRC: motivation, self-efficacy, coping; SRC: 12-step involvement; social network changes). 3. Investigate moderators of InTEGRA's effects on outcomes across one-year follow-up (e.g., effect of age, network support for AOD use; psychiatric severity; age composition of 12-step meetings on substance use and substance-related consequences). It is hypothesized that higher network support for AOD use, abstinence motivation, and greater AOD severity, will have a better response to InTEGRA. 4. Explore barriers and facilitators to InTEGRA adoption and implementation across providers and system administrators within the context of a type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation research design.

DepWatch for Depression

Farmington, Connecticut
The current best practice guidelines for treating depression call for close monitoring of patients, and periodically adjusting treatment as needed. This present study seeks to develop and investigate an innovative digital system, DepWatch, that leverages mobile health technologies and machine learning tools to provide clinicians objective, accurate, and timely assessment of depression symptoms to assist with their clinical decision making process. Specifically, DepWatch collects sensory data passively from smartphones and wristbands, without any user interaction, and uses simple user-friendly interfaces to collect ecological momentary assessments (EMA), medication adherence and safety related data from patients. The collected data will be fed to machine learning models to be developed in the project to provide weekly assessment of patient symptom levels and predict the trajectory of treatment response over time. The assessment and prediction results are then presented using a graphic interface to clinicians to help them make critical treatment decisions. The main question the present clinical trial aims to answer are as follows: 1. Feasibility of the digital tool, DepWatch, to assist clinicians in depression treatment and inform their clinical decision process 2. Effectiveness of the digital tool, DepWatch, to improve depression treatment outcomes All study participants will carry the DepWatch app on their smartphones and wear a Fitbit provided by the study team during the study period. They will also complete brief questionnaires via the app at specific time intervals throughout the study period.

MAPP for Anxiety Disorders in Children

West Hartford, Connecticut
The goal of this clinical trial is to conduct a randomized controlled trial to enhance the capacity of pediatric primary care providers to assist their patients who struggle with anxiety. The study aims to refine and assess the feasibility of the Anxiety Action Plan (AxAP), a brief intervention to reduce pediatric anxiety, delivered by primary care providers (PCPs) in community pediatric primary care clinics. The goal of the AxAP is to enhance the capacity of PCPs to identify and intervene with anxious youth, which will enhance access to care in general and especially in locations with few mental health specialists. PCPs participating in this study will attend a training, administer the intervention to enrolled youth assigned to the MAPP condition, participate in coaching sessions, and fill out study questionnaires. Families participating in this study will complete evaluations with the study team, receive the intervention from their PCP (if assigned to the MAPP condition), and fill out study questionnaires. Researchers will compare the MAPP intervention to Enhanced Usual Care (EUC; consisting of videos, handouts, and other resources for anxiety reduction) to see the differences, if any, in child outcomes.

TENS for Chronic Lower Back Pain

West Hartford, Connecticut
Low back pain is a significant public health problem, is very prevalent, and is often characterized by the persistence of symptoms. Unfortunately, substantial improvements in people with chronic low back pain are rare, causing most people to live with the pain. People with chronic low back pain may have an exaggerated pain response to nociceptive input into tissues that may also cause symptoms distant from the site of the primary symptoms. Historically, these symptoms were thought to be related to pathoanatomic changes to the muscles, ligaments, or joints. However, the severity of these structural changes weakly correlates with the clinical presentation and, in most cases, is not directly related to diagnostic image findings. Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, in general, show signs of local/central sensitization. The central sensitization may appear to be directly correlated with the intensity and duration of pain. Therefore, it is essential to reduce pain intensity and minimize the duration of pain to prevent this from happening. Pain relief for chronic low back pain patients should be aimed at treatments that reduce central excitability and increase central inhibition. Research into chronic low back pain treatment has demonstrated strong evidence that different types of exercise decrease pain and improve quality of life. However, exercise itself may be painful, preventing a person from exercising. Thus, treatments aimed at decreasing pain will improve a person's ability to exercise and participate in activities of daily living. One treatment aimed at reducing central excitability and increasing central inhibition is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). TENS is a "non-pharmacological" treatment for pain that is inexpensive, safe, and easy to use. Prior studies show that TENS utilizes opioid receptors both spinally and supraspinally to inhibit nociceptive dorsal horn neurons, reduce excitatory neurotransmitter release, and reduce hyperalgesia. Thus, TENS may be particularly useful in people with chronic low back pain because it can activate descending inhibitory pathways (reduced in chronic low back pain patients) and inhibit central excitability (increased in chronic low back pain patients). Previous studies that have investigated the effects of TENS on pain in low back pain patients have failed to use proper intensities of current, and the assessment of pain was not performed during the peak of the analgesic response. Previous studies show inadequate intensities do not reduce pain or increase pressure pain thresholds. Further, TENS typically does not affect resting pain, while changes in pressure pain thresholds and pain with movement are reduced. Thus, the current study proposes to assess the effects of TENS on measures of pain, function, and descending inhibition using the maximal tolerable intensity of TENS applied to a large area of the trunk.

While there are a number studies that have reported on the use of blood flow restriction training (BFRT) in the adult population, there is limited information about the use of BFRT in the adolescent population. This study aims to evaluate the use of BFRT in conjunction with traditional anterior ligament reconstruction (ACLR) rehabilitation in adolescents. The purpose of this study is to compare the addition of a BFRT based exercise protocol to a standard ACL rehabilitation protocol in adolescents. Does the addition of BFRT-based exercise improve strength, hypertrophy, and patient reported outcomes after ACLR in the adolescent population?

TEAMSS Program for Anxiety Disorders

West Hartford, Connecticut
Excessive anxiety is a common problem that severely impairs short and long term academic functioning. The transition to middle school (MS) results in increases in anxiety and decreases in academic functioning. Students with anxiety in particular, due to their vulnerability to school-based stressors, are at risk for social, emotional and academic failure during the transition to MS. Unfortunately, the majority of these students do not get identified. Reducing student anxiety has been associated with improvement in academic functioning. Because the transition to MS is inevitable, targeting students with excessive anxiety will help their adjustment to their new school setting, reducing the need for special education and mental health counseling. No interventions exist to help these students with this transition. This study aims to: (1) develop and assess the feasibility of a brief, multi-component intervention, referred to as TEAMSS, Transitioning Emotionally and Academically to Middle School Successfully, to reduce anxiety and improve academic functioning through the transition to MS using an iterative development process (i.e., expert review, two open trials, and small randomized controlled trial (RCT)); (2) conduct a pilot RCT comparing the preliminary impact of TEAMSS, relative to enhanced usual care (EUC), in improving students' social, behavioral, and academic functioning through the transition to MS; and (3) examine theory-based mediators, predictors, and moderators of TEAMSS and assess intervention costs.

Approximately one million transrectal prostate biopsies are performed annually in the U.S., and the risk of post- biopsy infection is increasing due to greater antibiotic resistance of rectal flora. Preliminary data demonstrates that a transperineal MRI-targeted biopsy approach under local anesthesia compared to the standard practice transrectal MRI-targeted prostate biopsy has a much lower risk of infection, comparable pain/discomfort and may improve detection of prostate cancer. This randomized controlled trial will be the first prospective study to evaluate in-office transperineal MRI targeted prostate biopsy. The investigators hypothesize that a transperineal MRI-targeted biopsy approach under local anesthesia compared to the standard practice transrectal MRI-targeted prostate biopsy has a much lower risk of infection, comparable pain/discomfort and may improve detection of prostate cancer.

The overall objective of this clinical trial is to identify the impact of selected package features, known as the Opioid Package Prototype (OPP), on the safe and effective use of opioids. Our specific aims are: (Aim 1) to evaluate the effectiveness of OPP on prescribing, dispensing, and patient use of oxycodone among orthopaedic surgery patients receiving post-operative outpatient oxycodone for post-surgical pain management, and (Aim 2) to determine the feasibility of OPP for orthopaedic surgery prescribers, pharmacists, and orthopaedic surgery patients. Such data can be used to further optimize packaging and labeling design, help patients and caregivers utilize their medication and packaging correctly, and improve prescribing and dispensing habits. The central hypothesis is that the OPP will be more effective than the amber vial in efforts to reduce oxycodone prescribing among patients over 18 receiving short-term management of post orthopedic surgery pain.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a neuroscience-based computerized cognitive remediation ("brain training") program can treat neurocognitive dysfunction (i.e., memory or thinking difficulties) that emerges in some older adults following a viral infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does computerized cognitive remediation improve cognitive performance and day-to-day functioning in older adults with postviral neurocognitive dysfunction? * Will treatment effects be maintained over time, leading to better long term cognitive outcomes? * Does the treatment lead to reductions in blood-based markers of inflammation as a potential mechanism of cognitive symptom improvement? * Can the treatment be optimized and refined based on feedback from participants to improve user (patient) experience? Researchers will compare the computerized cognitive remediation program to an active computer-based control condition (alternative computer activities) to see if the computerized cognitive remediation program works to treat postviral neurocognitive dysfunction. Participation takes approximately 43-48 hours over 7 months, with most activities (40-46 hours) completed within the first 7-8 weeks, including: * Initial intake visit: Eligibility confirmation (\~2-3 hours) * Computer activities: About 5 hours per week for \~6 weeks (total \~30 hours) completed on a computer tablet provided by the study and loaned to participants for use during the treatment phase * Weekly remote check-in meetings: \~30 minutes each during treatment * Blood draws: Two sessions (before and after treatment), \~20-30 minutes each * Three research visits: Pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 6-month follow-up (\~2-3 hours each, including assessments of cognitive, emotional, and daily functioning)

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is an evidence-based non-pharmacological group therapy shown to benefit people with mild to moderate dementia. Despite increasing availability of CST worldwide, access remains limited in the United States. This pilot pragmatic trial will embed CST referral into the standard care protocol of health care settings that serve people living with dementia in the state of Connecticut, and evaluate online delivery of CST known as virtual CST (V-CST), and assess the acceptability of V-CST to people living with dementia. The study design is a two-armed randomized embedded pragmatic clinical trial (ePCT). The trial aims to determine if cognitive decline is experienced less commonly among V-CST participants than control group members based on three widely used measures of cognition, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), St. Louis University Memory Screen (SLUMS), and Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). The study population will be persons with mild to moderate dementia identified by clinicians in standard care. From this population, subject participants will be randomized to intervention and control groups. Patients randomly assigned to the intervention group will be referred by their clinical providers to participate in V-CST, and those who accept the referral will participate in the intervention.
