What the trial was testing
The trial enrolled 175 patients with anxiety. The study was sponsored by Medical College of Wisconsin and tracked outcomes across the full group of patients who matched the trial's eligibility profile.
Researchers followed patients through treatment and into recovery, tracking the outcomes that mattered most for the disease being studied.
What the results showed
Parents who watched the videos felt 45% more prepared to make decisions about neonatal care.
JAMA pediatrics · 2023 · NCT04093492
These findings — that parents who watched videos knew significantly more about preterm birth outcomes — were published in the JAMA pediatrics and represent the headline result of the study.
Researchers tracked outcomes across 175 patients enrolled in the trial. The result was consistent enough across the group that the team felt confident reporting it.
What this means for patients
For patients with anxiety, this result changes the calculus on what to ask their care team about. Whether it changes day-to-day care depends on factors like disease subtype, prior treatments, and where the patient is in their care journey.
What you can do now
This video education program is not yet widely available as standard care. If you're pregnant and at risk of early delivery, ask your doctor about educational resources for preterm birth. Some hospitals may offer similar video-based programs or can point you to trusted information about what to expect.
Eligibility for the treatments mentioned above depends on specific test results and clinical history. Bring this summary, the trial name, and your most recent labs or pathology report to your next visit.

Testing the Effectiveness of Supportive Parents - Coping Kids
The aim of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the parent training intervention Supportive Parents - Coping Kids (SPARCK) for prevention of childhood mental health problems. The main research questions are: • Is SPARCK effective in preventing and reducing negative outcomes and promoting positive outcomes for eligible children and parents compared with regular care practice? In addition, investigators will conduct an implementation study to examine relations between implementation determinants and implementation and clinical outcomes in the SPARCK intervention condition Participants in the effectiveness trial will be randomized to receive either the SPARCK intervention or active regular care practices provided by professionals in the Norwegian frontline services. Researchers will test the effectiveness of the SPARCK intervention at post treatment and six months follow-up.
The Impact of Ecological Intelligence and Anxiety on Sustainable Nutrition
Environmental problems such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and depletion of natural resources threaten sustainable living and human health. In order to cope with these threats, individuals' environmental sensitivity should be increased and sustainable lifestyles should be encouraged. In this context, ecological intelligence refers to the ability of individuals to transform environmental knowledge into sustainable behaviors, while ecological anxiety defines the anxiety against environmental threats and may lead individuals to environmentally friendly consumption behaviors. In particular, organic food consumption is considered as a reflection of both ecological intelligence and ecological anxiety. Individuals who prefer organic products make more conscious choices with the aim of reducing environmental impacts and eating healthy. Accordingly, ecological intelligence and ecological anxiety stand out as important factors affecting individuals' sustainable and healthy eating behaviors. Aim: This study aims to examine the effects of ecological intelligence and ecological concern on sustainable eating behaviors in organic food consumers. Expected Results of the Study: This project aims to examine the effects of ecological intelligence and ecological anxiety levels on the sustainable eating behaviors of organic food consumers. The results may show that increased levels of environmental knowledge and concern may reflect positively on sustainable dietary choices and that these individuals are more conscious in their organic food choices. It may also contribute to the development of strategies to promote ecological awareness and environmentally friendly consumption behaviors.
