This observational study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of an investigational Influenza A/B and COVID-19 test in patients presenting with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the sensitivity and specificity of the investigational test compared with an FDA-cleared reference method for detection of Influenza A, Influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 antigen. 2. What is the overall positive and negative percent agreement between the investigational test and the reference method? Participants will: 1. Provide a respiratory specimen (e.g., nasal or nasopharyngeal swab) for testing with the investigational device. 2. Provide an additional specimen for testing with the FDA-cleared reference method.

This trial is designed to assess immunological biomarkers measured from blood samples that can be used to reliably predict how well vaccines work against symptomatic COVID-19 as well as to evaluate the feasibility of remote, self-collected specimens when conducting a correlates analysis. For a lot of research studies, people need to go to the study doctor's office regularly. For this study, we want to see if it is okay that people do the study doctor visits virtually, fill out questionnaires electronically, and collect their own samples remotely. Participants will enroll in the study after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in their community, and saliva and blood specimens will be collected at pre-defined time-points over a 12-month period. Additionally, participants will report weekly whether they experience symptoms of COVID-19, and if so, will be prompted to collect a nasal swab for testing. Most participants will complete all activities remotely and via electronic communications, but a small number will complete activities in person at the doctor's office to provide a comparison group. Samples from the study will be analyzed to determine whether the biomarkers can be measured, and data from the study will be used to evaluate the feasibility of doing the specimen and data collection without the participant going to the doctor's office in person.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a mis/disinformation ecosystem that promotes divergent views of vaccine efficacy, as well as the legitimacy of science and medicine. Individuals are confronted with vaccine-related information from a multitude of sources, posing a challenge to identifying inaccurate information. COVID-19 vaccine uptake is lower among people with anxiety and depression than in the general population, due in part to higher levels of vaccine hesitancy. The prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among US adults increased significantly during the COVID pandemic and has remained elevated. Interventions capable of mitigating the impact of vaccine hesitancy and mis/disinformation among undervaccinated people with anxiety or depression are therefore an urgent priority. Emerging evidence suggests that reasons for vaccine hesitancy and the impact of conventional vaccination messaging differ between those with and without mental health symptoms. There may also be added challenges overcoming logistical barriers to vaccination for people with anxiety or depressive symptoms. The investigators aim to determine the effectiveness of two different brief digital intervention strategies compared with conventional public health messaging for increasing vaccine uptake in undervaccinated adults with and without anxiety or depressive symptoms. Attitudinal inoculation is a brief, scalable strategy that leverages the power of narrative, values, and emotion to strengthen resistance to mis/disinformation and reduce hesitancy. Though this approach has been shown to decrease COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among US adults, the extent to which this approach increases COVID-19 vaccination remains unknown. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based intervention for anxiety and depression. However, the efficacy of incorporating CBT-informed messaging in a vaccine promotion intervention has not been tested. The investigators hypothesize that both attitudinal inoculation and CBT-style communication will be more effective than conventional public health messaging to increase COVID-19 vaccination. The investigators also hypothesize that the CBT-informed intervention will be more effective than the attitudinal inoculation intervention for increasing COVID-19 vaccination among participants with symptoms of anxiety or depression.

For caregivers in the Bronx, the pandemic has caused unprecedented psychological distress; in addition to combating social determinants of health (SDOH), these families now face greater financial insecurity and challenges related to their school-aged children. Furthermore, social distancing requirements and limited telehealth resources for Bronx families have posed greater barriers to healthcare. Such parental distress contributes to heightened risk of transgenerational cycles of psychological stress, trauma and maltreatment. The social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have had significant consequences for family well-being, putting parents at higher risk of experiencing distress and potentially impairing their ability to provide supportive care to their children. Although children may be less susceptible to the most damaging physical consequences of COVID-19, there are growing concerns regarding the short-and long-term impacts of pandemic-related stressors on children. The marked upheaval of family life over an extended period may make children vulnerable to mental health consequences associated with the public health crisis and infection mitigation efforts. School and childcare closures, unstable financial circumstances, social isolation and lack of support have a disproportionate, cumulative impact on parents and may undermine their capacities to provide support for their children. Importantly, a large body of evidence suggests that parental stress during times of disasters induces psychopathologies in family members including children. Further, high anxiety and depressive symptoms in parents during the pandemic have been associated with higher child abuse potential, whereas greater parental support was associated with lower perceived stress and child abuse potential. In addition to psychological impacts, stress associated with caregiving can interfere with parents' ability to maintain their own health. This multimodal study addresses key strategies to mitigate the psychological and health impact of COVID-19 in parents.

Gut microbiome dysbiosis has been noted in patients with Post-acute sequelae (PASC) of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus -2 (SARS-CoV-2). A study performed at Columbia found that plasma levels of the short chain fatty acid (SCFA), butyric acid, remained lower in people with Neuropsychiatric PASC (NP-PASC) than in people with PASC after SAR-CoV-2 infection. Synbiotics improve SCFA levels and are well-tolerated in the general population but have not been studied among people with PASC in the United States. The purpose of this pilot study is to characterize changes in plasma SCFA levels and gut microbiome after treatment with synbiotics and placebo in people with NP-PASC. The intervention will be a mixture of the prebiotic resistant starch and the probiotic Bifidobacterium adolescentis in-vivo selection 1 strain (iVS-1). The placebo will be Maltodextrin.

Rationale: Hyper-inflammatory responses seen in acute COVID-19 are also a feature of long covid, a condition of long-term consequences that are persisting or appearing after initial infection and recovery from acute COVID-19. Long-standing, often disabling symptoms are common in long covid and can be highly varied. Common symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, muscle and chest pain, migraines, shortness of breath, anosmia, muscle weakness, and cognitive dysfunction. 35% of post-COVID patients were found to have decreased kidney function at 6 months post-discharge. In this study, we will evaluate the effect of dietary interventions in long covid patients. The dietary interventions are aimed at lowering blood glucose levels, and raising blood BHB levels. The dietary plan will recommend a low-carbohydrate diet including the avoidance of foods containing sugars and starch, while simultaneously increasing the consumption of healthy fats and sources of protein. The dietary interventions are supported by the consumption of a medical food that delivers exogenous BHB in order to raise blood BHB levels without the necessity of adhering to a strict ketogenic diet which would be difficult to implement and typically requires strict medical supervision. Intervention: Dietary intervention with Ketocitra versus control arm (no intervention) in a 1:1 ratio Objectives: The hypothesis of this study is that low-carbohydrate dietary interventions leading to lowering of blood glucose and raising of blood BHB in addition to standard therapy will lead to faster recovery and amelioration of symptoms in long covid compared to those treated with standard therapy alone. Study population: Subjects with a history of COVID-19 at least 2 months ago and with at least 2 neurological and/or symptoms that are typical for long covid that either started at COVID-19 infection and are ongoing at time of study entry Study methodology: Prospective and interventional randomized controlled pilot study Study arms: Dietary intervention (including medical food) arm versus control arm Study endpoints: The primary endpoint is the feasibility, safety and tolerability of dietary intervention.

COVID-19 infection during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of pre-eclampsia, preterm birth and stillbirth. Pregnant people with COVID-19 have a higher rate of ICU admission and intubation than those who are not pregnant. COVID-19 vaccine is recommended before pregnancy and during pregnancy to decrease these risks. Despite the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination, only 71% of pregnant women were vaccinated for COVID-19 as of June 2022 (most prior to pregnancy), with a much lower rate of 58% among non-Hispanic Black women. An effective intervention is needed to improve COVID vaccination rates for pregnant people overall. In this study, the investigators will perform a randomized controlled trial aimed at practice change in obstetricians' offices, with an overall goal of increasing maternal COVID-19 vaccination rates.
