Nature and Purpose of the Study. The Study shall be conducted in order to document the clinical benefits of the Product on aging • and aged skin, particularly with regard to wrinkles.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You and your child is being asked to take part in a research project because we are interested in understanding more about brain functioning and working memory in overweight children, and how this may relate to their eating behaviors. We want to better understand this process so we can help children develop better skills in these areas to improve their eating behaviors. We expect to enroll 30 children and a parent into this study. The study is sponsored by the Rhode Island Neuroscience Leadership Committee and the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You and your child are being asked to take part in a research project because we are interested in understanding more about thinking processes in children, and how this may relate to their eating behaviors. We want to better understand this process so we can help children develop better skills in these areas to improve their eating behaviors. We expect to enroll 50 subjects into this study. The study is sponsored by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to take part in a research project because you are 18 years old or older and have been diagnosed with heart failure. This is a preliminary experimental study designed to explore whether mindfulness training can improve the ability to take medications regularly. Mindfulness training involves learning to focus the attention and become aware of body sensations, emotions, and thoughts as well as of events happening in the environment surrounding you at each given moment. We expect to enroll 50 patients into this study. Your participation in this research study, should you enroll, will last 6 months. The study is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to take part in a research project because you are a daily smoker and a patient in the Rhode Island Hospital Adult Psychiatric Partial Hospital Program. This study tests whether a treatment, called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, is better at helping psychiatric patients stop smoking than a usual care treatment. We expect to enroll 40 subjects into this study. The study is sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to take part in a research project because you are currently participating in The Xxxxxx Hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR). You are between the ages of 21 and 75 with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m2 or above. You also speak English and have in-home access to an Internet-connected device such as a home personal computer, tablet, or smartphone. You are currently participating in The Xxxxxx Hospital’s or Newport Hospital’s Phase-II (outpatient) CR. Xx. Xx, the medical director of CR, has declared you medically safe to participate in this program. The purpose of this study is to evaluate online program and new technology-based tools that may help CR patients lose weight. We expect to enroll 160 subjects into this study. The study is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. Your child is being asked to take part in a research project so we can better understand how nurses, social workers and doctors within pediatric hospitals talk to their patients about alcohol and drug use. Those asked to participate are 12-17 years old and currently admitted to the hospital for an injury. We expect to enroll 540 patients across ten hospitals into this study, with approximately 54 enrolled at this institution. This study is sponsored by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to take part in a research project because you are currently participating in The Xxxxxx Hospital’s or The Newport Hospital’s Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR). You are between the ages of 21 and 75 with a body mass index (BMI) of 27-45 kg/m2. You also speak English and have in-home access to an Internet-connected device such as a home personal computer, tablet, or smartphone. You are currently participating in The Xxxxxx Hospital’s or Newport Hospital’s Phase- II (outpatient) CR. Xx. Xx, the medical director of CR, has declared you medically safe to participate in this program. The purpose of this study is to evaluate online program and new technology-based tools that may help CR patients lose weight. We expect to enroll 160 subjects into this study. The study is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to take part in a research project because you are a man who reports having exchanged sex for money or drugs with another man, you are 18 years of age or older, and you are HIV-negative. The purpose of this study is to determine if a program called “PrEPare for Work” will help make pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) more effective in preventing HIV among men who exchange sex for money or drugs with another man, or male sex workers (MSWs). PrEP is a medication called Truvada that is taken daily to prevent HIV infection. This medication has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this purpose. In order to promote the effectiveness of PrEP, we are testing a program called PrEPare for Work to see how well it helps people stay on PrEP once they start taking it. As part of this study you will be asked to sign a medical release so that your medical records regarding your PrEP treatment can be accessed for study purposes. Completion of this release is voluntary. We expect to enroll 130 subjects into this study. The study is being conducted by researchers at Brown University, The Xxxxxx Hospital, and Project Xxxxx, and is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.

Nature and Purpose of the Study. You are being asked to participate in this study because you have been diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and you are receiving drug therapy for PAH. The purpose of this study is to determine if a naturally occurring hormone called dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can reduce the negative effects PAH has on the right side of the heart. Previous studies of DHEA levels in the blood have shown that DHEA levels are significantly lower in people with PAH versus people who do not have PAH and that these lower levels are linked to right heart failure. A small study of DHEA treatment in COPD patients with pulmonary hypertension showed some benefit. Treatment with DHEA may therefore be beneficial for right heart function in PAH patients. Your body naturally produces DHEA in the adrenal gland. In turn, DHEA helps produce other hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. Many PAH researchers believe there is a link between sex hormones and PAH. Natural DHEA levels peak in early adulthood and then slowly fall as you age. A synthetic version of DHEA is available as a supplement for oral use, as a tablet. It is available for sale at many local retailers and on-line, but the purity of those supplements may not always be tested or guaranteed by the manufacturer. The DHEA that will be used in this study will be supplied by a manufacturer that employs good manufacturing practices (GMP) and will be independently tested for purity to assure the tablets contain the correct amount of DHEA. We expect to enroll 26 subjects, 13 women and 13 men, into this study at Rhode Island Hospital. The study is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
