Evaluation of an interactive audiovisual computer program educating patients with rheumatoid arthritis starting treatment with methotrexate: a randomized controlled trial.
Expand descriptionThe aim of this trial is to improve communication of information provided to patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are starting treatment with methotrexate. All outcomes will be measured by a blinded assessor (not the treating rheumatologist). The patients will also be blinded in that they will not be aware of the trial at the time that they receive the educational intervention and will not be informed that their knowledge will be tested until they attend for the 6 week review at which time the patient knowledge questionnaire will be administered under supervision.

The effects of an early parenting intervention on maternal mood and infant behavior disorders
Expand descriptionThe controlled before-and-after study of 284 mother-infant dyads will test the effectiveness of residential early parenting services to reduce postpartum maternal depression and improve infant behaviour. Mothers scoring 10 or above on the EPDS, a screening instrument for depression and reporting behaviour disturbance in their infants will be recruited from immunization clinics for the control and from residential early parenting centres for the intervention groups. Maternal mood and infant behaviour will be re-assessed using standardized psychometric measures at infant age 6 months and again when the baby is aged one year. It is hypothesized that the treated group will have lower one year postpartum rates of maternal depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders and infant behaviour disturbance than the control group receiving routine care.

Fitness training after traumatic brain injury
Expand descriptionThe aim of this project is to compare the efficacy of a three-month supervised fitness centre-based exercise programme to an unsupervised home-based exercise programme in improving fitness and psychosocial functioning in a traumatic brain injured population. We aim to carry out a multi-centre, assessor blinded, randomised controlled trial with parallel group design to compare the two interventions. We hypothesize that a supervised fitness-centre based exercise programme, compared to an unsupervised home-based programme will show significant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, depression and community integration.
