Parents and Teens: Help Us Learn More About How Marijuana Affects Learning and Treatment Success

J
Joseph Aloi
H
Helen Fox
14 years - 17 years
All genders
Interventional
This study is being conducted to learn more about how the brain's learning systems work in teenagers who use cannabis (marijuana). Our goal is to see if these brain systems can predict how well a teen might do in a treatment program for marijuana use called contingency management. Contingency management is a type of treatment that uses rewards to encourage avoiding marijuana. We need your help to find markers in the brain that predict cannabis use disorder symptoms and treatment success.You and your child may be eligible if…You are 18 years or olderYour child is 14-17 years oldYour child uses cannabis (marijuana)Your child can have an MRI brain scan (for example, they don’t have metal in their body)

All genders
Health is about more than medicine.  That is why we are doing a study that is looking at how well different surveys measure social needs—things like housing, food, and transportation. These needs aren’t medical, but they play an important role in health, which is why hospitals and doctors are asking patients about them more often.By sharing your thoughts and experiences, you can help improve care for older adults in your community.

Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
This study is testing a new, non-invasive method of brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI). TI uses very small electrical currents non-invasively applied through the scalp to see whether deeper brain areas can be safely and effectively influenced. We are studying how TI affects brain activity, measured with MRI, and how it may change attention, decision-making, and responses to simple tasks. You may qualify for this study if you:Are between the ages of 18 and 50Weigh less than 440 poundsHave at least a 6th grade educationSpeak and read EnglishCan pass an MRI safety screening test

All genders
Do you use nicotine-based vapes? Our study is testing the effects of brain stimulation on nicotine use and craving. Temporal interference (TI) delivers very mild electrical currents to the scalp that reach deeper brain regions linked to addiction, without surgery. You may qualify to be in this study if you:Are between the ages of 21 and 50Have at least a 6th grade education and are English-speakingVape at least 15 mg of nicotine per day (~1-2 cigarettes/day)Are not currently in treatment for nicotine use

Evaluation of the Effect of Acute Kidney Injury on Body Composition Among Preterm Infants. A Prospective Case-Control Observational Pilot Study

32 weeks or below
All genders
Interventional
The purpose of this study is to assess the body composition and growth measurements at time of NICU discharge of preterm infants who experienced acute kidney injury during their hospitalization, and to compare this with matched controls who did not experience acute kidney injury.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - All patients admitted to the Riley Hospital Maternity Tower NICU from the date of IRB approval will be screened for eligibility. Outborn infants will be included if admitted within the first week of life. On a weekly basis, research staff will review the census at Riley Hospital Maternity Tower NICU to identify patients nearing discharge (~3-4 weeks prior to discharge). Cases and controls will be determined based on protocol criteria. If the infant is determined to meet eligibility criteria for either group, the parent(s)/caregiver(s) will be approached for consent by research staff or one of the investigators approximately 2 weeks prior to anticipated discharge. The study will be discussed, and participation will be offered.
