NCT03427008
The investigators are interested in whether or not the use of a mobile health (mHealth) application increases the rate of immunosuppression medication adherence among adult kidney transplant recipients. The investigators aim to test this by randomly assigning transplant recipients to the intervention (use of an mHealth app to manage and track their immunosuppression regimen) or control arm (standard of care) upon discharge from their initial transplant hospitalization, and tracking medication adherence over time. The study population will be approximately 50 adult kidney transplant recipients at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
NCT03306368
Opioid addiction among youth (including both adolescents and young adults) is a growing health problem with catastrophic consequences for young people and their families. The current opioid epidemic disproportionately affects youth. Furthermore, compared to adults, adolescents and young adults tend to have poorer engagement in and response to treatment than older adults. Relapse prevention medications are the clear standard of care for the treatment of opioid addiction in adults, but the evidence base for effectiveness including implementation is not well-established in youth, and concerns from the field emphasize poor adherence and retention. Further there is no consensus regarding models of care, psychosocial treatments and platforms for delivery of medications. Extended release naltrexone (XR-NTX) has proven effectiveness in adults and is a promising pharmacotherapy for youth, but the field needs further clarification of its optimal use and delivery in this target population, in the context of developmentally informed models of care. There is inadequate current capacity for specialty opioid specific treatment that integrates pharmacotherapy (relapse prevention medication) with psychosocial treatment in a context that is youth welcoming and family empowering.
