The purpose of this research is to investigate associations between mindfulness and meditation techniques and changes in maternal breastmilk in the mother pumping for her NICU infant.

The current study aims to test the feasibility of a new form of group therapy for women who have a history of interpersonal trauma and current suicidal ideation. The Building Empowerment and Resilience (BEAR) Therapeutic group has been adapted for women who have experienced trauma and have current suicidal ideation. It incorporates psychological skills, psychoeducation about trauma and gender-based violence, and physical self-defense training, all within a therapeutic process. It will be implemented with women who have experienced interpersonal trauma (physical, sexual, or emotional abuse/neglect) and experience various mental health difficulties, including suicidal ideation. We aim to assess the feasibility to recruit and implement the BEAR group. Our ultimate aim is to assess whether the program can effect self-efficacy and suicidal ideation.

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which delivering sleep and circadian focused interventions in addition to evidenced based psychiatric care for depression and suicide risk may contribute to decreasing suicide risk among high risk young adults. Investigators will evaluate three interventions targeting sleep in acutely suicidal college students enrolled in intensive outpatient treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups: 1. Triple Chronotherapy (TCT)+ Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TSC) 2. Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TSC) 3. Sleep Feedback (SF) Participants will be followed for 6 months with primary outcome domains of suicidal thoughts and behaviors and depression evaluated by blinded clinicians at short (Days 1-4 of intervention), medium (2 months) and long (6 month) term intervals.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether WeACT, a self-paced, web-based program, is feasible and helpful for adult family caregivers of a relative living with dementia. WeACT is based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which teaches skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings and take steps toward what matters most. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Can caregivers complete WeACT as planned? * Do caregivers show improvements in mental health and coping after using WeACT? * What are caregivers' experiences with the program, and what suggestions do they have to improve it? Participants will: * Complete six self-paced weekly online modules and use the daily practice section during the program. * Complete online questionnaires before starting and after completing the program. * Take part in one online interview about their experience.

The goal of this open pilot trial (OPT) is to develop a Lakota-adapted Family Acceptance Project (LFAP) for Indigenous 2SLGBTQ+ youth and their caregivers. The OPT is specifically focused on acceptability, feasibility, and safety of programming and research protocols. The investigators will also examine pre- to post- changes on outcomes for the sole purposes of making sure scores on measures are changing in the hypothesized direction (e.g., depression scores are going from moderate to minimal as opposed to no change or depression scores increasing). Once enrolled in the study, participants complete a baseline survey. Then participants will engage in LFAP which is an 8-session group intervention; sessions will be scheduled once a week for eight weeks (at 2 hours per session). Participants will complete survey instruments before and immediately after the program sessions, in addition to post-program surveys and an exit interview.

Heart failure is a high-risk, chronic condition that impacts patients' mental health. Approximately 50% of heart failure patients experience comorbid mental health conditions, such as stress, depression and anxiety, which affect their day-to-day lives. Despite this interconnection, the integration of mental health awareness and support into cardiac care remains limited. To address this gap, the FRAME (Foundation, Recognition, Awareness, Management, Engagement) intervention was co-designed by researchers, healthcare providers, health system decisionmakers, and patient partners. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of implementing the FRAME intervention in pilot clinical sites within two health regions in Ontario, Canada, including team-based family medicine clinics, cardiac rehabilitation/specialist clinics, and emergency departments. Utilizing a pretest-posttest hybrid 1 model intervention design, this study evaluates process indicators and patient-focused outcomes through surveys and semi-structured qualitative interviews. Findings from this study will inform a future large scale cohort study and scalable integration of the FRAME tool into existing cardiac care pathways to enhance mental health awareness and support among heart failure patients.

The "Cannabidiol for the Treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Pilot study (CBD-DPN1)" is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover pilot study evaluating the efficacy of Cannabidiol (CBD) and full-spectrum CBD (fsCBD) tinctures in treating Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN)-associated pain. DPN is a common, highly distressing complication of diabetes, characterized by chronic pain and loss of sensory function, for which currently available treatments primarily offer only symptomatic relief. CBD and fsCBD are being investigated for their potential neuroprotective and analgesic effects by regulating inflammation and oxidative stress. The study aims to recruit 12 to 20 adult participants who have mild to moderate DPN. Subjects will receive either an active treatment (CBD isolate or fsCBD in MCT oil, dosed at 50 mg twice daily for a total of 100 mg daily) or a placebo during two sequential 6-week phases. The overall objective of this pilot phase is primarily methodological: to test and refine the clinical protocol, assess patient compliance and acceptability of the CBD formulations, and generate sufficient data to calculate the necessary sample size for a larger, definitive study. Efficacy will be measured using objective and subjective metrics, including DPN severity (DN4 Assessment Tool and DPNCheck™ for nerve conduction velocity) and pain level (PainDetect Questionnaire). Secondary outcomes include evaluating mood (HADS), sleep quality (MOS Sleep Scale), and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L).

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if two behavioral interventions work to reduce office disciplinary referrals, improve attendance, and reduce depression and anxiety in 7th grade students. This project combines two evidence-based programs-the Inclusive Skill-building Learning Approach (ISLA) for school-wide discipline reform and the Family Check-Up Online (FCU-O) for family-centered support-in an adaptive design to examine the unique and additive effects of these interventions on these child behavior outcomes. The main questions it will answer are: 1. What is the relative efficacy of ISLA vs. School-as-Usual? 2. What is the optimal sequencing of these interventions? 3. Which overall sequence of intervention strategies was most effective? Researchers will compare 6 combinations of these interventions to see which combination and sequencing provides the best student outcomes. School personnel participating in the project will be trained to implement the two interventions at their school. They will answer surveys in the fall, winter, and spring of their year of participation. Parent and Youth participants will complete surveys at baseline and then again 6 months and 12 months later.

While the pathophysiology of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is complex and heterogeneous, dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is frequently observed, suggesting that a substantial subset of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have symptoms that are initiated and/or perpetuated by a microbiome dysfunction. Successful randomized controlled trials (RCT) for IBS-D (Ford 2018; Black 2022) leveraging microbiome-targeted therapies (antibiotics or low microbiome fermentation diets) suggest the gut microbiome is at least partially involved in IBS symptoms. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for patients with IBS-D has demonstrated promising results (El-Salhy 2020), supporting the possibility that altering the microbiome composition could ameliorate IBS-D symptoms. MITI-001 is a transplantable gut bacterial community composed of 157 live bacterial strains, encompassing 79 genera of commensal bacteria, that have been isolated from healthy donor stool, purified, and banked. The hypothesis of the proposed research is that MITI-001 can target the pathophysiologic lesion in a subset of IBS-D patients, restore the altered microbial metabolic process, and thus alleviate IBS-D symptoms.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the Living Well Program, a digital therapeutic application with telecoaching support, in breast cancer patients with moderate-to-severe anxiety. The main question the study aims to answer is: does digital cognitive-behavioral therapy-based interventions decrease the overall healthcare costs of patients with stage II to IV breast cancer? The study has one group of participants who will use the Living Well app and telecoaching support. This group will be compared to retroactively matched controls. Over 3 months, patients will complete 21 mental health modules and 5 telecoaching sessions. In the following 3 months, they will complete any outstanding telecoaching sessions and modules while still being monitored, even if they finished all modules and sessions in the first 3 months. The 6 months after that will be the follow-up phase. They will still have access to the Living Well app and may continue to use it, and they will complete the same assessment questionnaires as baseline to identify any changes in their overall mental health.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate a trauma informed digital multicomponent intervention design to improve health and safety outcomes for women with lifetime exposures to violence and co-occurring PTSD and/or depression symptoms

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a postpartum chatbot powered by generative artificial intelligence (genAI) can help new mothers get better pelvic floor health information and feel less lonely after childbirth. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does using the chatbot improve postpartum pelvic floor health knowledge? * Does using the chatbot help reduce feelings of loneliness during the postpartum period? * Does using the chatbot impact pelvic floor symptoms? Researchers will compare standard postpartum care to standard care plus the chatbot. Participants will: Be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to standard postpartum care with or without access to the chatbot. If in the chatbot group, participants will receive education and support via the chatbot over a 4-week period. Both groups will complete questionnaires to measure their pelvic floor knowledge, pelvic floor symptoms, feelings of loneliness, depression, infant bonding, perceived social support, adverse childhood experiences, and peri-traumatic distress. The chatbot was created by urogynecology experts in collaboration with UC San Diego computer science and biomedical informatics researchers. The chatbot is designed to give new mothers personalized, evidence-based information and support in real time.
