The current study primarily aims to determine the status of vaccination in enrolled cancer patients and identify barriers to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in cancer patients who have not been vaccinated. Secondary objectives include determining the rate of vaccination in those who have ever been COVID-19 positive and those who have never been COVID-19 positive. The study team also seeks to determine factors associated with vaccine-acceptance and vaccine-hesitancy in the adult cancer population, identify side effects of COVID-19 vaccines in vaccinated cancer patients and to examine the effect of COVID-19 vaccination on overall clinical outcome in cancer patients. The study team will be conducting telephone interviews/surveys with up to130 adult cancer patients for data collection.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a 30-week aerobic exercise therapy program in cancer patients recovering from COVID-19. The study will look at whether the aerobic exercise therapy causes few or mild side effects in participants. Aerobic exercise is physical activity that uses the large muscle groups (muscles in your legs, buttocks, back, and chest) and can be performed for several minutes at a time. The aerobic exercise therapy being used in this study will be a walking program that will be adjusted so it matches participant fitness levels (how much exercise you can handle).

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting the way many people live their lives, including seeking medical care and maintaining good self-care to keep healthy. Additionally, in the event many people become critically ill at once, COVID-19 has the possibility of overwhelming hospitals to the point where they have to make decisions about how to determine who receives intensive care and life-support measures. Many hospitals as well as local or state governments have been working on policies to determine how to make these decisions. This study seeks to learn about how COVID-19 has affected the way patients and healthcare providers care for themselves and about their thoughts and concerns about policies that may "ration" life-support resources.

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to determine feasibility and explore whether financial incentives paid to primary care patients for completing colorectal cancer screening increase completion of colorectal cancer screening. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do patient financial incentives for completing colorectal cancer screening increase screening completion? - Does a patient financial incentive for colorectal cancer screening offered alongside patient financial incentives for COVID-19 and flu shots increase completion of those shots? Participants who are due for colorectal cancer screening will receive telephone outreach from primary care staff who will offer a stool-based colorectal cancer screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to either Group 1 or Group 2. Group 1 participants will be offered financial incentives for completing COVID-19 and flu shots within 2 months of enrollment. Group 2 participants will be offered financial incentives for completing a COVID-19 shot, a flu shot, and colorectal cancer screening within 2 months of enrollment. Researchers will compare to see if completion of a COVID-19 shot, a flu shot, and colorectal cancer screening is different between the two groups.

This is a phase I randomized, placebo-controlled, single site to assess the local and systemic safety of intranasal Q-Griffithsin (Q-GRFT) after 14 doses in approximately 45 adult participants. Participants will be randomized 2:1 (Q-GRFT nasal spray: placebo nasal spray) resulting in 30 participants enrolled into the Q-GRFT arm and 15 participants enrolled into the placebo arm. A clinician will apply two metered doses of Q-GRFT in each nostril (400μl total) of the participant on the day of enrollment. Participants will be monitored in the clinic for 1 hour after administration and return for a 24-hour post dose visit. If safe and acceptable, a second period of daily administration by the participant for 13 days will commence. Safety assessments will be performed at day 7, day 14, and day 28 visits after the initiation of the second period. The expected duration of study participation for each participant will be approximately 6-8 weeks. The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants who experience a related Grade 2 or higher adverse event. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include persistence and systemic absorption of Q-GRFT, acceptability and the impact of Q-GRFT nasal spray on smell.

This C3 project, Community network-driven COVID-19 testing of vulnerable populations in the Central US, will implement and evaluate a COVID-19 testing and vaccination approach that combines an evidence-based Social Network Testing Strategy (SNS) with community developed COVID-19 public health messages (SNS+). C3 will engage two disenfranchised populations across rural and urban sites in states across the Central US (Texas (TX), Louisiana (LA), Arkansas (AR), Indiana (IN), Illinois (IL)). C3 leverages NIDA's Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN), the PIs' extensive community located COVID-19 testing programs, and a network of established community partnerships. The collaborative community-academic partnerships, research and engagement infrastructure, and team's leadership across JCOIN will ensure that C3 can rapidly recruit, enroll and test most disenfranchised community members, (n=2400) and through this process, accelerate any forthcoming COVID-19 public health prevention interventions. C3 focuses on two communities most impacted by COVID-19: 1) Criminal justice involved (CJI) - non-incarcerated people with previous history of arrest/jail/prison, probation/parole, drug-court attendance, witnessed or experienced a negative interaction with police or law enforcement; and 2) Low-income Latinx - community members at 250% or below Federal Poverty Level. Both of these diverse populations, and the overlap between them, have some of the highest rates of COVID-19 infection and death in the United States. Messaging that affirms individual agency and corrects misinformation, combined with accessible and acceptable testing, is required to accelerate COVID-19 prevention for these populations.Using a two-arm randomized controlled trial design, participants will be enrolled into the Social Network testing Strategy (SNS) arm (involves social networking referrals only) or the Social Network testing Strategy with COVID-19 prevention messages (SNS+) messaging arm. The latter includes affirmation/misinformation correction messaging (discussion tools and coaching). SNS and SNS+messaging arms will both include an initial group of index study participants who will refer their network members into the study and the process will repeat itself one more time for a total of 3 waves. Indexes will refer network members (1st degree) and then those network members will refer one more round (2nd degree).
