Summary

The purpose of this study is to gather feedback to inform the development of a web-based tool that provides screening and education about alcohol use following interpersonal violence. People who have experienced sexual assault or domestic violence in the last year and drink alcohol, or are currently in treatment for alcohol use, will be asked to provide feedback about a web-based tool for alcohol use. 60-minute interviews will be conducted and will involve viewing the content of the web-based tool and providing feedback. Additionally, feedback given during interviews will be analyzed and then individuals who have used the web-based tool will complete a survey following the tool use if they report using substances. The tool will be tested for use with English and Spanish speakers.

Additionally, the web-based tool will be adapted for use among SMW and TGD survivors of sexual assault. Two areas of the original tool will be adapted: 1) psychoeducation and normative feedback will be made specific to SMW and TGD people's experiences, and 2) sexual and gender minority stress content will be added (i.e., information about sexual and gender-identity related stressors and their association with distress and alcohol use). We will gather feedback via qualitative interviews from 30 SMW and TGD survivors of sexual assault who report alcohol misuse or heavy drinking in the past month.

Summary

The Drug Product ZYN002 is a transdermal CBD gel. CBD is the primary non-euphoric cannabinoid contained in the Cannabis sativa L. plant. The CBD contained within ZYN002 is a pharmaceutically produced Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) that is chemically identical to the CBD present in Cannabis. ZYN002 is currently being evaluated in clinical trials in children and adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), autism spectrum disorder, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. The safety and efficacy of ZYN002 in the treatment of behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with FXS has been evaluated in three studies: Study ZYN2-CL-009, a completed open-label, multiple-center, multiple-dose study (n=20); Study ZYN2-CL-016, a completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-center study (n=212 randomized); and Study ZYN2-CL-017, an ongoing open-label extension and expanded access study to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ZYN002 (n=240). The present protocol for ZYN2-CL-033 (RECONNECT) is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ZYN002 for the treatment and behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents with genetic evidence of full mutation FXS. Qualified subjects that complete ZYN2-CL-033 will have the opportunity to roll over to the open label ZYN2-CL-017 study.

Summary

The purpose of this project is to study DNA and its connection to your health. DNA is in your blood, your saliva, and other tissues in your body. DNA is the unique instructions you are born with that tells your body how to work. By looking at DNA, you can learn information about your health, certain traits, and even your ancestral roots. DNA is also called your genetic information. DNA is mostly the same from person to person. But everyone's DNA is slightly different. We are still learning how DNA impacts health. This study will look at the DNA of many different people from many different backgrounds and compare it to information in their health records. The goal is to understand how learning about DNA can help improve health care for individuals, families, and the community.

Participants will provide a sample for DNA sequencing. Sequencing is the process of reading the letters of your DNA. This study may sequence your whole genome. Over time, you may be asked to provide additional samples for research purposes. The research team will collect health information about you from your medical record and may ask you questions about your health using surveys or other data collection method.

Summary

This study will recruit 2,634 participants,50 years of age or older, who have sustained a primary fragility fracture of the hip, femur, pelvis, clinical spine, humerus, or wrist in the last 12 months. Participants will be recruited from approximately 20 sites around the United States. Patients will be randomized to either continue treatment with "Augmented Fracture Liaison Service" or to continue with "Enhanced Usual Care." Both pathways incorporate patient education about the high risk of future fractures and available treatment approaches for fracture risk reduction. Patient education materials, in English or Spanish, will include information about fractures, bone health and osteoporosis, and will refer participants to resources to provide additional education on ways to reduce the risk of another fracture. Both arms of the study will be mailed education materials after enrollment. Study participation will consist of surveys over the course of 2 years, and a visit to a bone health specialist.
