Supporting Language Development in Young Children of Parents in Recovery
This study helps parents or caregivers with a history of substance use support their young child's language development through weekly community groups and optional one-on-one sessions. The goal is to help children ages 1–3 learn more words and start combining words earlier.
Eugene, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06859216Recruiting
Testing AI-made plain language summaries for eye clinic notes
This study tests whether using artificial intelligence (AI) to create easy-to-read summaries of your eye doctor's notes helps people better understand their eye care. If you are an English-speaking patient at the Jules Stein Eye Institute, you may be able to join.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07724327Enrolling by invitation
