While the primary aim is to improve family functioning via child moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and parent-child co-physical activity (PA), the proposed driver of these outcomes is parental support of child PA. Most theoretical models applied to understand parental support in family interventions have been social cognitive in nature, where intention is considered the proximal antecedent to behavior, it is not surprising that past approaches in family PA promotion center heavily on the antecedents of intention such as attitudes and perceived control. Nevertheless, a low correlation between intention and behavior in parental support of child PA has been demonstrated Thus, there is a need to continue to improve the effectiveness of family-based interventions in ways to sustain initial behavioral changes. Family-based promotion initiatives are also very timely because parents and children represent low activity groups

The COVID-19 pandemic is presenting one of the greatest threats to youth mental health seen in generations. Pain is one of the most common symptoms of extreme stress in youth. In 2020, the investigators created an online "stepped-care" program called the Power over Pain Portal. Stepped care is a promising way to improve access to CP care. Stepped care tailors care based on a person's symptom severity. Like a ladder, a person must start with one type of care then "step up" or "step down" to more or less intense care depending on need. The investigators also summarized all online pain management programs for youth to find the best resources to embed into the Portal. The investigators will pilot-test the Portal with youth to ensure it can be implemented effectively and will be clinically beneficial. The investigators will recruit 100 youth with CP to use the Portal for 2 months and see how they interact with the features and if it helps to improve their pain and mental health. The investigators will include a mixture of youth who represent different ages, sexes, genders, sexual orientations, races, dwellings, and school/employment status.

The goal of this observational study is to better understand the role of the brain in chronic low back pain patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of targeted blood brain barrier disruption with Exablate Model 4000 Type 2.0/2.1 for liquid biopsy in subjects with suspected Glioblastoma brain tumors

This study will provide the opportunity to generate data on the long-term use of SUBLOCADE under real-world conditions, and to observe enduring changes in lifestyle, health, and sociodemographic factors that are part of the recovery process. Long-term patterns of abstinence/opioid misuse as well as measures of participants' physical, psychological, social, and economic well-being will be monitored to better understand factors associated with recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD). Therefore, this study will observe participants up to a maximum of 4 years.

Faced with limited access to preventative health care services, Indigenous people living in rural and remote communities are at a higher risk of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and kidney failure, when compared to the general population. The goal of this project is to perform point-of-care testing for CKD and its risk factors, including diabetes and high blood pressure, for individuals residing in rural and remote Indigenous communities across the Canadian provinces of Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. In addition to providing individuals with information about their risk of developing CKD, as well as providing tailored treatment plans, this study will help provide evidence to develop a permanent CKD surveillance system in all Indigenous communities across Canada, consequently decreasing the burden of CKD and kidney failure in these communities.

The Prostate Active Surveillance Study (PASS) is a research study for men who have chosen active surveillance as a management plan for their prostate cancer. Active surveillance is defined as close monitoring of prostate cancer with the offer of treatment if there are changes in test results. This study seeks to discover markers that will identify cancers that are more aggressive from those tumors that grow slowly.

INTRODUCTION Severe CKD is defined as a risk of greater than 10% for progressing to RRT \[home hemodialysis (HHD), home peritoneal dialysis (HPD), and transplantation\] within 2 years. There is a need to improve access to CKD self-care counselling and RRT education for patients with severe CKD. Trials of CKD self-care education have achieved therapeutic benefits with moderate to high patient-provider contact. There is high potential for a trial of digital counselling for CKD self-care and RRT education to enhance patient health and quality of life. HYPOTHESES The primary hypothesis is that ODYSSEE-KH versus usual care (UC) will significantly increase the incidence of home RRT, measured by a composite index of HHD, HPD, and preemptive kidney transplant at trial completion (median = 19 months; range: 12 to 27 months). The secondary hypothesis is that ODYSSEE-KH for CKD self-care and RRT education improves Home RRT, RRT preparation, annual hospitalization rate, engagement with CKD self-care resources at months 6 and 12 and trial completion and scores on outcome measures. RECRUITMENT Patients diagnosed with CKD who are 18 years of age or older were recruited from University Health Network (UHN), Sunnybrook Hospital, Scarborough Health Network, and The Ottawa Hospital. DESIGN ODYSSEE-KH is a double-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial that has assessments at baseline, months 6 and 12, and trial completion (median = 19 months; range: 12 to 27 months). This is a single-blind design with research personnel masked. ODYSSEE-KH combines automated digital counselling of CKD self-care with renal replacement therapy (RRT) education. UC enhances the standard of usual care by providing patients with conventional digital CKD education. Over 27 months, patients will be emailed on a weekly basis with a digital link to log on to their respective program using a password-protected, personal account. ANALYSIS Separate GLMs will evaluate if Digital Counselling versus UC is independently associated with outcomes at months 6 and 12 and trial completion (median = 19; range: 12 to 27 months). Dependent variables include the KDQOL-SF, SF-36, EUROIA, PHQ-9, GAD-7, MIDLS, ESSI, PWB, BMPN, AI, as well as a modified SEMCD-6. Multivariable models will adjust for baseline assessments of each outcome and potential baseline covariates (noted above). In all GLMs, significant interactions will be followed by subgroup analyses with Bonferroni post hoc tests.

Children are commonly hospitalized because of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). There are multiple high-quality randomized trials of short-course antibiotic therapy (3-5 days of treatment) for adults hospitalized with CAP - but there is very little evidence in children. We intend to do a pilot RCT of short-course (3-5 days) vs standard-duration (8-10 days) antibiotic therapy for children hospitalized for CAP.

The goal of this randomized controled trial is to test the effects of assigning people with chronic post-stroke aphasia to 12 weekly choir sessions, compared to usual care. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the assignment to a choir singing program causes a beneficial effect on functional communication and language recovery as well as psychosocial outcomes compared to usual care in the rehabilitation of people with chronic post-stroke aphasia? Participants will have: 12 in-person choir-singing sessions (1 session/week, 1,5 h/session, total 18h) conducted by a choir master, and home singing training (3 x 30-minutes-sessions/week, total 18h)
