The investigators will accomplish this by: 1) adapting two intervention components that are candidates for inclusion in a highly effective optimized strategy (called STOP-NCDs) and; (b) Assess their individual and combined effectiveness and 2) conducting a robust, mixed-methods evaluation of the implementation process and assess factors that may influence implementation and sustainability for delivering and scaling the optimized STOP-NCDs strategy. The investigators will select and\u002For adapt intervention components making up the optimized STOP-NCDs strategy. Using a hybrid clinical-effectiveness implementation design, the investigators will conduct a study in 2 sequential phases: 1) A clinical-effectiveness phase in which the investigators evaluate the effect of our combined strategies (task-sharing and WelTel) versus Usual Care, on rates of systolic BP reduction at 12 months; as well as other secondary outcomes including diagnosis and treatment of diabetes and, patient knowledge of CVD risks and prevention, and, other features of health provider NCD prevention activities. 2) A post-implementation phase in which the investigators use the RE-AIM framework to evaluate changes in the adoption and maintenance of our combined strategies in participating iCHF health facilities across Kilimanjaro region. The investigators will use the WelTel communication and Patient Management platform for to deliver culturally and contextually appropriate evidence-based text messaging to patients. It allows for quality improvement and is a unique tool for our program to scaling low-cost interventions that provide capabilities for tracking of health system service uptake, quality-metrics at health facilities, drug stock-out management, and patient-centered behavioral health interventions. Deployment of WelTel will allow for integration of NCD prevention targeted health services to all adult iCHF members across differing life stages and NCD risk and have a significant impact on increasing quality of care and sustainability of health financing and performance-based incentives through improved prescribing, patient engagement, medication adherence and healthy behaviour change.",[27,28],"Hypertension","Diabetes",[30,31,32,33,34,35],"hypertension","diabetes","NCD management","NCD prevention","mHealth","healthcare financing","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-08-10",{"date":39,"type":40},"2026-08-11","ACTUAL",{"date":42,"type":21},"2026-10-01",{"date":44,"type":21},"2028-03-01",{"name":46,"class":47},"Queen's University","OTHER",{"id":49,"slug":50,"hasResults":11,"nctId":51,"briefTitle":52,"officialTitle":53,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":54,"healthyVolunteers":55,"sex":16,"minAge":56,"maxAge":57,"enrollmentInfo":58,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":60,"briefSummary":61,"conditions":62,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":66,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":37,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":67,"startDateStruct":68,"completionDateStruct":70,"leadSponsor":72,"locationsCount":73},"100446324","connecting-families-100446324","NCT05091957","Connecting Families","CONNECTING FAMILIES: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Primary Care Poverty Screening and Financial Support Navigation for Families of Young Children","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Parents of children (younger than 3 years) attending a regularly scheduled primary care visit.\n* Parents respond affirmatively to the question \"Do you ever have difficulty making ends meet at the end of the month?\"\n* Informed parental consent.

Hemodialysis is a procedure that cleans the blood of the toxins and fluids that build up when kidneys don't work. Most patients receive hemodialysis treatment three times every week and each treatment lasts 4 hours. These patients spend 156 days per year receiving hemodialysis treatments. This is a very large time burden which has a tremendous impact on well-being and life satisfaction. Current usual approach of prescribing three hemodialysis treatments per week is not based on good studies and assumes that all people need the same number of hemodialysis treatments per week regardless of their age, values, life expectancy or other health conditions. Over time, increasingly more elderly people are needing to start hemodialysis treatments. The investigators have conducted a preliminary study that shows that patients who are 70 years of age or older can do well when only receiving only two hemodialysis treatments per week. In this preliminary study, receiving two hemodialysis treatments per week was no different than three hemodialysis treatments per week with regards to important safety measures including blood values and management of body fluid levels. The investigators now propose to carry out a much larger study in many centers across Canada that will compare two times per week hemodialysis treatments to three times per week hemodialysis treatments in elderly patients who have reached kidney failure and are beginning their hemodialysis journey. The investigators want to know if receiving hemodialysis treatments twice per week increases the number of days that a patient is able to spend at home without increasing rates of hospitalization or death compared to receiving hemodialysis treatments three times per week. The investigators also want to know if this is better for people's quality of life, safe, less expensive for the health care system and friendlier to the environment.

Unfortunately, fluoroscopy requires expensive equipment and personnel and exposes patients and healthcare providers to ionizing radiation. Ultrasound offers a safer, lower-cost alternative, but the traditional 2-dimensional (2D) ultrasound systems are limited due to poor image quality, particularly in patients with higher body mass index (BMI).\n\nAs an alternative, a novel Bone Enhanced Ultrasound (BEUS) technology uses artificial intelligence (AI) to create real-time 3-dimensional (3D) images of the spine to guide needle placement for these injections. The AI software is trained by overlaying computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound images from a patient dataset to recognize anatomical landmarks. BEUS aims to ultimately replace fluoroscopy for spinal injections, reducing radiation exposure, lowering healthcare costs, and improving accessibility, especially in rural settings where CT and fluoroscopy are unavailable.\n\nA key limitation, however, is that the current AI system is trained based primarily on patients (mostly pediatric) undergoing perioperative assessment of scoliosis. To address this, the current study aims to develop a new, more clinically relevant training AI dataset by collecting spinal ultrasounds from up to 100 adult participants (most\u002Fall of whom are followed at the local chronic pain clinic for low back pain) with existing spinal CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
