NCT02010697
This study examines whether nonsmokers can be mobilized to help smokers quit. We will test, via mail campaign, whether targeting nonsmokers can be equally effective in increasing smokers' quit rate as targeting smokers directly. The hypothesis is that both targeted interventions will lead to a higher quit rate than a control group, which receives one set of self-help materials. Each of the targeted intervention groups receives 10 mailings. Smoking status of all three groups will be measured at 3 and 7 months post randomization.
NCT03187041
Purpose: This research study seeks to determine whether surface pressures generated by elastic tourniquets used by phlebotomists during blood-draws can penetrate to deeper tissues where major arteries and nerves lie. Additionally, investigators will also determine the effects of prolonged tourniquet application on hand sensation using a controlled, reproducible force stimulus. In conjunction, the investigators will also track changes in skin surface pressures and pain levels over this prolonged tourniquet application. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize the use of common elastic tourniquets used for blood draws does not significantly impact sensation and will not elicit nerve or tissue damage. Technologies used: Monofilaments and Pressure Sensor
