There are 39 clinical trials
This study seeks to learn more about the symptoms of severe mood dysregulation in children and adolescents ages 7-17. Children and adolescents with severe mood dysregulation (SMD) display chronic anger, sadness, or irritability, as well as hyperarousal (such as insomnia, distractibility, hyperactivity) and extreme responses to frustration (such as frequent, severe temper tantrums). Researchers will describe the moods and behaviors of children with these symptoms and use specialized testing and brain imaging to learn about the brain changes associated with this disorder....
Description: This study will examine between-group differences in clinical, behavioral, genetic, neuroanatomical, and neurophysiological variablesin individuals with SMD or DMDD and/or MDD, BD (BD, see protocol 00-M-0198) or those with anxiety (01-M-0192) (Leibenluf
Measure: This study will examine between-group differences in clinical, behavioral, genetic, neuroanatomical, and neurophysiological variables Time: ongoingAnxiety is among the most prevalent, costly and disabling illnesses and tends emerge early in childhood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment for early life anxiety, but as many as 40% of young patients who receive CBT fail to get better. The proposed study will examine brain changes marking positive response to CBT for anxiety and how these changes may differ in children compared adolescents. By helping us to understand how CBT works, this study will pave the way for new treatments to stop anxiety early.
Description: Pre- to post-CBT changes in functional, connectivity and structural MRI measures of brain networks relevant for anxiety. Brain regions include the amygdala, anterior insula, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC). Functional activation and connectivity of these brain regions are assessed using simple computer tasks performed during MRI scanning. Tasks engage threat reactivity, self-regulatory control and the interaction of these processes. Structural connections between regions will be measured using a MRI technique that measures water diffusion in the brain.
Measure: Brain function/structure as assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans Time: Baseline and 12-weeksDescription: The Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS) is a clinician-administered assessment to rate the severity of anxiety symptoms associated with common DSM-V anxiety disorders (social phobia, separation anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder) in children. The investigators are looking for decreases in anxiety severity ratings from pre- to post-treatment.
Measure: Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale Time: weeks 0, 3, 6, 9, 12The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of (1) Implementation Facilitation (IF) on rates of provision of Emergency Department (ED)-initiated buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP) treatment with referral for ongoing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and the (2) effectiveness of IF on patient engagement in formal addiction treatment at 30 days.
Description: The primary implementation outcome will be evaluated assessing the rate of ED-initiated BUP therapy with referral for ongoing MAT over the 12 month period.

Measure: Effectiveness: Illicit Opioid Urine Toxicology Time: 30 days post enrollmentMost people with an eating disorder (ED) do not receive good treatment. The investigators have developed a new brief group treatment that is supposed to work by reducing how much women with an ED value the impossible thinness standard promoted by the media and how much they value/crave binge foods. The investigators want to test whether the treatment actually changes those two mechanisms using brain scan data, which is more objective than completing questionnaires and even interviews. In the first phase of the study (R61), the investigators will compare women in the treatment versus those on a wait-list. If the investigators can show that the treatment "works" (does what the investigators think it does) compared to no active treatment (women will be allowed to seek and receive outside help but investigators will not provide it until after the wait-list), investigators will conduct the second phase of study (R33),where they will randomly assign women with an ED to either the new treatment or to a group treatment that represents what many college mental health clinics provide to their clients with ED.

Measure: Change in implicit associations of binge foods, thin models, and eating disorder behavior words Time: Week 8; R33 also reviews at 6-month follow-upThis study entails a "proof of concept" evaluation of a novel intervention, Parents and Infants Engaged (PIE), for prodromal infants at-risk for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs). The objectives of the current study are to examine whether the PIE intervention (a) transforms parent-infant transactions over time as intended, thereby facilitating increases in the time infants spend in joint engagement with their parents, and (b) is associated with improved social-communication functioning and positive changes in indices of autonomic self-regulation in infants at-risk for NDs.
Description: This system entails continuous coding of infants' attention engagement into one of 6 mutually exclusive states: unengaged, onlooking, object engaged, person-engaged, supported joint engagement, and coordinated joint engagement. Due to the importance of the construct of engagement to our PIE theory of change, the total percent of time in joint engagement (supported + coordinated) will serve as the most proximal intervention outcome (i.e., changes expected at Posttest-1). Recent studies with children with NDs have shown that the coding system is sensitive to change in joint engagement after relatively short interventions.
Measure: Change in Parent Child Engagement Coding from pretest to posttest 1 Time: Baseline, posttest 1 (6-8 weeks after pretest)Description: This system entails continuous coding of infants' attention engagement into one of 6 mutually exclusive states: unengaged, onlooking, object engaged, person-engaged, supported joint engagement, and coordinated joint engagement. Due to the importance of the construct of engagement to our PIE theory of change, the total percent of time in joint engagement (supported + coordinated) will serve as the most proximal intervention outcome (i.e., changes expected at Posttest-1). Recent studies with children with NDs have shown that the coding system is sensitive to change in joint engagement after relatively short interventions.
Measure: Change in Parent Child Engagement Coding from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: The MSEL is a standardized developmental assessment for children birth to 58 months, frequently used in studies of children with NDs, and comprised of 4 scales: Fine Motor, Visual Reception, Receptive Language, and Expressive Language. The investigators will administer only the Receptive and Expressive Language subscales of the MSEL at the second posttest and the first follow up assessment. To be eligible for the intervention portion of the study, children have to score at least 1 s.d. below the mean on either the Receptive or Expressive Language subscale of the MSEL. The investigators will report t scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10)and the standardized total Early Learning Composite (Mean = 100, SD = 15). Higher scores indicate greater developmental skills.
Measure: Change in Mullen Scales of Early Learning Receptive Language T-Scores from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: The MSEL is a standardized developmental assessment for children birth to 58 months, frequently used in studies of children with NDs, and comprised of 4 scales: Fine Motor, Visual Reception, Receptive Language, and Expressive Language.

To be eligible for the intervention portion of the study, children have to score at least 1 s.d. below the mean on either the Receptive or Expressive Language subscale of the MSEL. The investigators will report t scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10)and the standardized total Early Learning Composite (Mean = 100, SD = 15). Higher scores indicate greater developmental skills.
Measure: Change in Mullen Scales of Early Learning Expressive Language T-scores from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: A play-based assessment used to measure children's approach-avoidance to novel sensory toys (i.e., hyper-reactivity) and orienting responses (i.e., hypo-reactivity) across three sensory modalities (auditory, visual, tactile). The investigators will report a mean score for Hypo (range = 1-5), Hyper (range = 1-5) sensory subscales. Higher scores indicate greater sensory differences in that domain (e.g. a high hypo domain score would indicate more hyposensitive reactions to sensory stimuli seen in the child).
Measure: Change in Sensory Processing Assessment for Young Children from Pretest to Posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: A treatment response measure of social communication behaviors and other behaviors associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Administration of the BOSCC involves a 12-minute video recorded interaction between an examiner and a young child using two standard sets of toys and play with bubbles. Behaviors are coded from video. Total score range is 16-80. Higher scores indicate more typical social communication skills, lower scores indicate poorer skills.
Measure: Change in The Behavioral Observation of Social Communication Change (BOSCC) from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: Designed to measure the extent to which children will follow attentional cues of the examiner. Six prompts for attention following are embedded into the larger study protocol. Items are scored dichotomously as yes "1" or no "0".Total score range is 0-6. Higher scores indicate more typical responses to bids for joint attention.
Measure: Change in The Attention Following Protocol (AF Protocol) from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)Description: A parent report measure of children's expressive communication skills, such as vocabulary and pre-grammar abilities. The Words and Gestures (toddler) form will be used. Total words and gestures endorsed by parents will be reported. Greater words and gestures reported indicates larger expressive vocabulary.
Measure: Baseline expressive communication level: The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory Time: BaselineDescription: A 43 item parent questionnaire that asks about the child's responses to various sensory stimuli in the context of functional activities and daily routines in the child's environment. It also documents strategies parents use to respond to their child's behaviors. Hyper and Hypo mean domain scores will be reported (range = 1-5).

Measure: Change in Parent Responsiveness to Child Sensory Reactivity Cues from pretest to posttest 2 Time: Baseline, posttest 2 (13-16 weeks after pretest)There is strong evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure is the preferred treatment for youth with anxiety disorders, but outpatient services that provide this type of treatment are limited. Even for those who do have access to anxiety-specific treatment, a traditional outpatient model of treatment delivery may not be suitable. Among the numerous logistical barriers to treatment access and response is the inability to generalize treatment tools to settings outside of the office. Patient-centered (home-based or telehealth) treatment models that target symptoms in the context in which they occur could be more effective, efficient, and accessible for families. The present study aims to compare the efficacy, efficiency, and feasibility of patient centered home-based CBT and patient centered telehealth CBT with a traditional office-based model of care. The question proposed, including proposed outcomes, have been generated and developed by a group of hospital, payer, patient and family stakeholders who will also contribute to the iterative process of protocol revision. The investigators anticipate 379 anxious youth to be randomized to receive outpatient treatment using telehealth, home-based services, or treatment as usual using a traditional outpatient model. Results of this study are expected to provide evidence for the efficacy and efficiency of patient-centered treatment, as well as increase treatment access and family engagement in the treatment process.

Guilt is a common posttraumatic reaction and has been implicated as a risk factor for the development and maintenance of PTSD and substance use. Combat Veterans often report experiencing moral injury defined as perpetrating, failing to prevent, or witnessing acts that violate the values they live by in their civilian lives, which can lead to feelings of guilt and shame. Accordingly, reduction in guilt and increase in self-compassion may lead to improved quality of life for Veterans. This project will conduct a pilot study to evaluate changes in self-compassion, guilt, and PTSD-SUD symptom severity in a sample of Veterans after receiving 8 sessions of Mindful Self Compassion treatment (via a telehealth modality during COVID-19 pandemic). Findings will have significant impact on effective treatment options and lead to improvements in Veterans' quality of life and posttraumatic symptoms.
Description: The SCS is a 26-item self-report questionnaire in which respondents describe how they relate to themselves during times of distress. The SCS includes the 5 item Self-Kindness subscale (ranging from 5-25; higher scores reflect more self-kindness), the 5-item Self-Judgment subscale (ranging from 5-25; higher scores reflect more self-judgment), the 4-item Common Humanity subscale (ranging from 4-20; higher scores reflect higher levels of common humanity), the 4-item Isolation subscale (ranging from 4-20; higher scores indicate higher levels of isolation), the 4-item Mindfulness subscale (ranging from 4-20; higher scores reflect higher levels of mindfulness) and the 4-item Over-Identification subscale (ranging from 4-20). Responses are given on a 5-point scale from "1-Almost Never" to "5-Almost Always." Mean scores on the six subscales are then averaged to create an overall self-compassion score ranging from 26 to 130. Higher scores correspond to higher levels of self-compassion.

The ISS yields sum scores for two subscales, self-esteem (6 items; range = 0-24 with higher scores reflecting higher levels of self-esteem) and internalized shame (24 items; range = 0-96 with higher scores reflecting higher levels of shame) and has been well-validated with research and clinical populations. The self-esteem items are interspersed to counteract a negative response set.
Measure: Internalized Shame Scale (ISS); Change from baseline in shame at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksDescription: The CAPS is a semi-structured interview used to assess PTSD diagnostic criteria and severity. Respondents select up to three of the most traumatic events they have experienced, and those events are used as the basis for assessing PTSD symptoms. The CAPS assesses each of the 20 items from the DSM-5 criteria B, C, D, and E. The assessor combines information about frequency and intensity of an item into a single severity rating (0=Absent; 1=Mild/subthreshold; 2=Moderate/threshold; 3=Severe/markedly elevated; 4=Extreme/incapacitating). CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is calculated by summing severity scores for the 20 DSM-5 PTSD symptoms (range = 0-40). Similarly, CAPS-5 symptom cluster severity scores are calculated by summing the individual item severity scores for symptoms corresponding to a given DSM-5 cluster: Criterion B (items 1-5); Criterion C (items 6-7); Criterion D (items 8-14); and, Criterion E (items 15-20).
Measure: Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5; Change from baseline in PTSD symptoms at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksDescription: The WHO-QOL BREF is a 26-item validated self-report measure that that assesses quality of life across four domains: physical (7 items, range 1-5), psychological (6 items, range 1-5), social relationships (3 items, range 1-5), and environment (8 items, range 1-5). The four domain scores denote an individual's perception of quality of life in each particular domain. The mean score of items within each domain is used to calculate the domain score. Domain scores are scaled in a positive direction (i.e. higher scores denote higher quality of life). There are also two items that are examined separately: question 1 asks about an individual's overall perception of quality of life on a scale of 1 - "very poor" to 5 - "very good". Question 2 asks about an individual's overall perception of their health on a scale of 1 - "very dissatisfied" to 5 - "very satisfied". The WHO-QOL-BREF has excellent internal validity and test-retest reliability.
Measure: Quality Of Life Enjoyment & Satisfaction Questionnaire (WHO-QOL-BREF); Change from baseline in quality of life at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksDescription: The Alcohol TLFB is a drinking assessment method that obtains estimates of daily drinking. The TLFB will be employed at all three assessment points to evaluate alcohol and other substance use during the 90 days preceding each interview. Using a calendar, people provide retrospective estimates of their daily drinking over a specified time period. The TLFB will be used at each follow-up to establish: percentage days heavy drinking, percent days abstinent, length of initial abstinence, length of use episodes, severity of relapse and current alcohol/drug use pattern. The Alcohol TLFB has been shown to have good psychometric characteristics with a variety of groups, and can generate variables that provide a wide range of information about an individual's use (e.g., pattern, variability, and magnitude of use).
Measure: Timeline Follow-back; Change from baseline in frequency of substance use at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksDescription: Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI): This scale is a 19-items instrument that evaluates the presence and intensity of suicidal thoughts in a week before evaluation (19). Each item is scored based on an ordinal scale from 0 to 2 and the total score is 0 to 38 with higher score indicating more risk for suicide.
Measure: Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation; Change from baseline in suicidal risk at post-treatment (2 mo) and follow up (3mo) Time: Baseline, 8-10 weeks, 12-14 weeksPosttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a common cause of morbidity in combat veterans, but current treatments are often inadequate. Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) is a novel treatment that seeks to alter key aspects of the target memory (e.g., color, clarity, speed, distance, perspective) to make it less impactful, and reduce nightmares, flashbacks, and other features of PTSD. The memory is reviewed in the context of an imaginal movie theater, presenting a fast (~45 sec) black and white movie of the trauma memory, with further adjustment as needed so the patient can comfortably watch it. Open and waitlist studies of RTM have reported high response rates and rapid remission, setting the stage for this randomized, controlled, single-blind trial comparing RTM versus prolonged exposure (PE), the PTSD therapy with the strongest current evidence base. The investigators hypothesize that RTM will be non-inferior to PE in reducing PTSD symptom severity post-treatment and at 1-year follow up; will achieve faster remission, with fewer dropouts; will improve cognitive function; and that epigenetic markers will correlate with treatment response. The investigators will randomize 108 active or retired service members (SMs) with PTSD to ≤10 sessions of RTM or PE, affording power to test our hypotheses while allowing for ≤ 25% dropouts. The investigators will use an intent to treat analysis, and the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, or DSM5 (CAPS-5), conducted by blinded assessors, will be the primary outcome measure. Secondary measures of depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), sleep (PSQI), and functional status (WHOQOL-100), will be assessed pre- and post-treatment, and at 2, 6, and 12 months. ANOVA will compare symptom severity over time within and between groups. Blood draws will be obtained pre- and posttreatment to assess predictors of treatment response and epigenetic markers of change. The NIH Toolbox Neurocognitive Assessment, pre- and post-treatment, will assess impact on cognitive function. The investigators will track comorbid TBI, anticipating it will not adversely impact response. More effective therapies for PTSD, with and without TBI, must be developed and evaluated. RTM is safe and promising, but requires testing against evidence-based interventions in well-designed randomized clinical trials (RCTs). The full study can now be conducted via video conferencing due to COVID-19.

Measure: Incidence and severity of unexpected adverse events related to the study product Time: Baseline, 6 months, 12 monthsPurpose: To test the effectiveness of an exercise intervention that combines group walking, activity tracking, and heart rate monitoring (i.e. Physical Activity can Enhance Life, PACE-Life) on the physical and mental health for individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Participants: 56 individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Procedures (methods): During the baseline assessment, all participants will be provided with a Fitbit wristband and instructed how to use it. During the first group session, participants will be taught how to use their heart rate (on the Fitbit) to determine how fast participants should walk (to achieve the appropriate exercise dosage). Information on proper care, usage, and how to determine the appropriate heart from the watch, which will be used to guide the intensity of the walk will be provided to participants and reviewed at each group session. Participants randomly assigned to PACE Life clinic based group sessions will arrive at the STEP clinic to meet the entire group and leaders and be reminded of the heart rate (HR) that corresponds with the intensity of that group session. Next, the group will go outside and walk for 30 minutes. At the completion of 30 minutes, everyone will go back into the clinic for water and review of the walk. After the second group session of each week, participants will receive weekly progress reports of their steps and minutes spent walking the prior week (obtained from Fitbit devices). During this session, participants will also set individual goals for the upcoming week for both their "intensity walks" and total steps per day. Participants randomly assigned to Fitbit Alone will be given a Fitbit and shown how to use it by study staff. Participants will also be given information on current recommended physical activity guidelines (150 min/week of moderate intensity exercise) and will be told that study staff may be contacting them on a weekly basis (or shorter, if necessary) if it looks like participants are not wearing their Fitbit for a certain number of days (e.g. 3 consecutive days) or to troubleshoot any issues. If necessary, participants might be invited to come to the clinic to get assistance on any Fitibit or exercise related issues.

Background: The COVID-19 outbreak has caused many changes to people s normal social patterns. The respiratory illness has been the major focus of public health efforts. But most experts also agree that government and public health mandates to slow the spread of the illness, such as social distancing, have a significant effect on people s mental health. Environmental stressors, such as constraints on activities, social contact, and access to resources, take a toll. Researchers want to learn how stressors related to COVID-19 affect mental health over time. Objective: To learn the relationship between stressors related to COVID-19 and self-rated measures of mental health symptoms and distress among a range of people. Eligibility: English-speaking adults ages 18 and older Design: This study will be conducted online. Participants will give their first and last name and email address. They will indicate if they have ever been in an NIH research study. They will get a username and password. Every 2 weeks for up to 6 months, participants will complete online study surveys. They will get email reminders. Some surveys will be repeated. At the end of the study, they will complete a set of end-of-study surveys. The surveys will ask about the following: Age, sex, race, and other sociodemographic data Mental and medical illness history and treatment Family medical history Mobility, self-care, and life activities Behaviors related to alcohol and substance use disorder Mental illness symptoms Psychological distress Stressors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will get links to mental health resources, such as hotlines. They will also get guidance on steps to take to seek care or support. Study website: nimhcovidstudy.ctss.nih.gov
Description: Thoughts and feelings about mental health impact of COVID-19
Measure: NIMH COVID Study survey - adult responses Time: Biweekly online responsesDescription: Ratings on measures of mental health symptoms and distress
Measure: DSM XC and KS survey Time: Biweekly online self reportSince December 2019 the world has been shaken with an enormous global threat: the Covid-19 pandemic. This new kind of coronavirus is generating an unprecedented impact both on the general population and on the healthcare systems in most countries. Health services are trying to expand their capacity to respond to the pandemic, taking actions such as increasing the number of beds; acquiring necessary equipment to provide intensive therapy (ventilators), and calling retired health professionals and health students so they can assist the overwhelmed health care workforce. Unfortunately, these organizational changes at health facilities, along with the fears and concerns of becoming ill with the virus or infecting their families, put an enormous emotional burden on workers in health services which may lead to negative outcomes on mental health in this population. Recent cross-sectional studies in China indicate that health service workers exposed to people with Covid-19 reported higher rates of depressive and anxious symptoms. This negative impact on mental health among health workers in China has also been informally reported in other countries where the Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating in its effects (such as Spain and Italy), as well as in countries where the pandemic is becoming a growing public health problem. This is particularly relevant in regions with fewer resources (Latin America, North Africa), where there are limited means and the response from the health system is usually insufficient. Moreover, it is necessary to study these negative effects longitudinally considering that some effects will appear over time (post-traumatic stress). Accordingly, this prospective (0, 3, 6 and 12 months), multisite cohort study aims to describe, examine, and evaluate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health and social factors among workers at health services from Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and neighboring countries, the Middle East and North Africa, as well as Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Additionally, a team from the United States of America will also participate in this collaborative effort providing expertise on psychiatric epidemiology and supporting coordination across countries.

Given the possible risks and complications of a comorbidity between psychiatric disorder and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it seems particularly important to specify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with psychiatric disorders and suspected of infection, hospitalized in a specific unit, at the psychiatric, somatic and pharmacological level.
Description: total severity score from the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R)
Measure: impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychiatric symptomatology Time: through study completion, an average of 2 yearCovid-19 pandemic now affects more than two million people worldwide. The neurotropism of the virus is assumed by its frequent association with neurological symptoms (anosmia, ageusia, headaches) but the extent of the central or peripheral nervous system involvement and the associated symptomatology remain poorly known for now. The main objective of this study is to describe the neurological and psychiatric manifestations occurring in the context of Covid-19 infection in patients hospitalized or followed-up in the APHP.SU hospital group. A better understanding of the neuropsychiatric impairment related to Covid-19 would improve the management of these patients in the acute phase, and knowledge of subsequent complications would allow adapting their rehabilitation and follow-up. The precise phenomenological description of these manifestations and the imaging, biology and neuropathology data will be compiled from the data collected by the physicians in charge of these patients as part of their inpatient or outpatient care. This study will also allow collecting unusual clinical manifestations from patients followed for neurological or psychiatric pathology in hospital departments and presenting a Covid-19 infection, in order to optimize the reorganization of their management, follow-up and rehabilitation in the epidemic context.

PrP can be isolated from a patient's own blood and has been found in previous studies to have anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative properties. It has been used across multiple specialties, such as Orthopedics, Facial Plastics, Dermatology, Neurology in injected form to treat a wide variety of tissues to encourage the body's inherent regenerative capacity. We have completed a pilot study here evaluating it's use in olfactory loss which demonstrated safety and also suggested efficacy. Therefore, we aim to assess the ability of PrP to improve olfactory function in patients with decreased sense of smell.
Description: Using Sniffin' Sticks olfactory testing pens to test smell
Measure: Smelling ability Time: 6 monthsParticipants are healthcare workers and adult outpatients referred in a COVID-19 screening center. Patients-reported symptoms are collected, then participants underwent a simple olfactory test (CODA for Clinical Olfactory Dysfunction Assessment), prior to swabbing for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis (RT-PCR). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of smell and taste disorders, and to calculate the diagnostic value of patient-reported and clinically verified smell disorders in persons with suspected COVID-19.

Measure: Diagnostic values of anosmia and ageusia for COVID-19 Time: at inclusionDescription: Diagnostic values of CODA (Clinical Olfactory dysfunction Assessment) score for COVID-19 : Simple, fast, semi-objective olfactory test developed for epidemic context
Measure: Diagnostic values of CODA Time: at inclusionThe experience of a loved one's stay in a COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU), either intubated or on respiratory support, forces family caregivers (hereafter 'caregivers') to face core existential fears, such as uncertainty and death. It also poses a serious threat to basic human needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as family caregivers have no control over the illness, and limited prior competence in dealing with critical illness. COVID-19 likely aggravates this experience, as social distancing cuts caregivers off from visiting patients in the ICU, from using their usual social supportive network and the threat of infection extends to caregivers themselves, their children and family. Combined, these extreme circumstances put caregivers in emotional turmoil and in need of psychological support and assistance in managing difficult emotions. ICU caregivers are at risk of developing clinically relevant symptoms of anxiety or posttraumatic stress. During the patient's ICU stay, caregivers experience peri-traumatic distress, such as helplessness, grief, frustration and anger, that may predict later posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of anxiety and PTSD may last for months to years after the patient's discharge. Further, caregivers of patients who die in an ICU may be at greater risk of prolonged grief disorder. Supportive interventions may reduce psychological late effects in ICU caregivers, but the primary focus of the majority of interventions has been on communication or surrogate decision making. The CO-CarES study aims to develop and test the feasibility of a tele-delivered psychological intervention to enable caregivers of ICU patients with COVID-19 to better endure the overwhelming uncertainty and emotional strain and reduce the risk of posttraumatic stress and prolonged grief. The study hypothesizes that providing psychological intervention during and after the patients' hospitalization, can decrease peri-traumatic distress during ICU hospitalization and decrease risk of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression and perceived stress following discharge, as well as prolonged grief in bereavement. A secondary hypothesis is that changes in emotion regulation mediate effects of the intervention on long-term psychological outcomes.

In children, reduced physical activity, changes in lifestyle, disturbances in sleep patterns, lack of in-person contact with peers, poor or inadequate understanding of health risks may be risk factors of anxiety, stress, fatigue, sleep disorders (Brooks et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2020; Sprang et al, 2013). These problematic effects could be modulated by social factors (housing in urban or rural areas, availability of personal space at home, parenting stress, etc.) (Cluver et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2020).

Working with children from a variety of backgrounds and communities, the investigators use a combination of state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as MRI scans alongside traditional behavioural assessments to capture the earliest information on infant brain development. The focus of the BIBS study MRI scanning is a safe way of producing detailed images using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. It does not use X-ray. Along with learning more about brain development in general, the investigators also try to identify features that may in future help predict whether a child will or will not develop traits of conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Long-term, this may help target useful interventions early on, helping children who are most in need. Since COVID-19 arrived in the United Kingdom (U.K.) in 2020, the investigators have been given ethical approval to include testing for this infection in the mothers and children participating in the study. This may provide an opportunity to better understand how mother and baby respond to infections. The investigators particularly welcome mothers who have had a positive COVID-19 test during their pregnancy to join the study.
This study is part of the current global emergency scenario due to infection with Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 as indicated by the international taxonomy. Study aim is to investigate the possibility of the presence of the virus within the seminal fluid and in the urine of infected patients, both during the acute phase and remotely. Current evidences show that Coronaviruses can be present inside the testicle and sperm in other species, such as in feline and avian models. In human beings, current researches have mixed results regarding the presence of SARSCoV-2 in urine, as several studies with a large sample found no traces of the same with Real-Time Reverse method Transcriptase - Polymerase Chain Reaction or with method of nucleic acid amplification. By contrast, in just over 6% of 58 patients with Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction method have found the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the urine, even at a distance from the last negative nasopharyngeal swab. Given the topicality of the problem, our study has the objective of specifically researching the presence and possible persistence over time of SARS-CoV-2 in seminal fluid and urine. A saliva sample will also be collected as a control. At the moment there are no studies in literature that tested this possibility. If confirmed, it would lead to find out another potential method of transmission, the sexual one, in asymptomatic patients or apparently no longer infectious with negative buffer. The rationale for our study is the evidence that in other species this type of transmission by coronaviruses is possible and that at present it has not been verified in mankind. The relevance of the study would be both in the case of a negative result, as the first study in its generally, both in the case of a positive result, due to the possibility of introducing new prevention measures in the long run.

During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in North London the Royal Free Hospital admitted over 500 patients with Covid-19. As part of the standard of care, these patients are screened at 8 weeks post discharge for signs of anxiety and depression. The Feeling Good app is a NHS approved digital application which utilises applied relaxation, mindfulness based cognitive therapy and positive visualisation through audio tracks for the treatment of anxiety and depression. This is a naturalistic cohort study aimed to track the post illness psychological symptoms of those who have been admitted with Covid-19 to the Royal Free hospital up to 5-7 months after discharge. The study population is those who are exhibiting anxiety or depressive symptoms as measure by the PHQ-2 or TSQ questionnaires. All those with symptoms will be offered free access to a NHS approved app for anxiety and depression, and followed up for 3 months after recruitment to track changes to their symptoms.

Semi structured interviews of a subset of patients will be performed to gain further insight into the patient experience. These will be analysed using a framework thematic analysis, to identify themes which will then be used to code the text.
Measure: Qualitative analysis Time: BaselineAs a result of the pandemic, hygiene and distancing rules must be followed in Health care/ rehabilitation clinics to ensure the safety of patients and staff. This has led to extensive changes in the therapy processes, including a reduction in group sizes and maintaining distances within the groups, resulting in a reduction in the range of therapies available to individuals, since the number of employees remains unchanged and cannot be increased at will and in the short term due to the lack of qualified staff. In order for the treatment/rehabilitation goals to be achieved nonetheless, new forms of implementation of therapy programs must be developed in addition to organizational adjustments. Digitalization can be a significant support in this respect. The majority of patients in psychosomatic rehabilitation/parkinson treatment possess smartphones, meaning that the necessary infrastructure for the utilization of digital offers is available and can be used to the greatest possible extent. The use of digital measures within the therapeutic services supports the independence of the patients, as they can use the digital offers independently and flexibly in their own time. How should Health care/rehabilitation services be designed in light of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and which services have the potential to buffer future crises: What general recommendations can be derived for the design of such services for routine care?

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects up to 35% of pregnant trauma survivors. Moreover, prenatal PTSD rates are up to 4 times higher among communities of color compared to white populations. PTSD during pregnancy has been linked to an increased risk of adverse perinatal and infant health outcomes and may even contribute to racial disparities in adverse perinatal outcomes. Although front-line treatments exist for PTSD, treatment research that specifically focus on pregnancy are extremely limited. Clinical studies examining the safety, acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy of treatments for PTSD during pregnancy are virtually non-existent. Thus, pregnant individuals with PTSD, particularly within low-income communities of color, are a vulnerable and underserved group in need of effective treatment approaches for their distress. Investigators propose to conduct a feasibility and acceptability study of a PTSD treatment, Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), in a sample of pregnant individuals with PTSD in which low-income people of color are highly represented. Aim 1: The purpose of Aim 1 will be to examine feasibility. Investigators will evaluate the recruitment and assessment procedures. Aim 2: The purpose of Aim 2 will be to examine acceptability. Investigators will evaluate participant feedback of the NET intervention. Aim 3: The purpose of Aim 3 will be to examine the proportion of participants demonstrating clinically meaningful reduction in PTSD and perinatal depression symptoms from pre- to post-treatment. Investigators will aim to enroll up to 30 participants; participation will last up to ten months. Data sources will include questionnaires, electronic medical records, and qualitative feedback interviews. With this study, investigators aim to fill a critical gap in knowledge of how to safely and effectively treat PTSD among a vulnerable and underserved population (i.e., perinatal individuals of color).
