| Clinical Trials |
LT-1530 |
Observational and interventional research studies conducted with human volunteers that seek answers to specific questions that relate to the causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and/or management of diseases, disabilities or other related conditions. Clinical trials may be conducted by government health agencies, researchers affiliated with a hospital or university medical program, independent researchers or private industry; and test the efficacy of new drugs, new combinations of existing drugs, new dose schedules and routes of administration, and new ways of integrating multiple treatment modalities. They may also assess new screening tests, evaluate the application of new diagnostic tests in choosing treatment regimens, evaluate supportive care methods, test the safety and effectiveness of medical devices, teach lifestyle changes or investigate options for improving the quality of life for people who have serious medical conditions. Clinical trials are conducted according to a protocol which describes the types of patients who may enter the study, schedules of tests and procedures, drugs, dosages, and length of study, as well as the outcomes that will be measured. For some patients, clinical research trials represent an avenue for receiving promising new therapies that would not otherwise be available. Included are programs that maintain lists of currently available clinical trials and refer patients who want to become volunteers as well as the research projects themselves. |

| Cloth Face Masks |
LH-5000.2980-150 |
Programs that pay for or provide cloth masks which many jurisdictions have requested that people wear when out in public in situations where they might have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus but are asymptomatic and are not aware that they could transmit the virus to others. The purpose of the masks is to protect others they may meet from droplets associated with coughing, sneezing and speaking, especially in situations where social distancing might be difficult, e.g., in grocery stores or on public transportation and in other areas where there is a significant amount of community transmission. The masks should cover a person's face from the bridge of their nose to under their chin and should be loose fitting but still secure enough to stay in place. People are advised to make sure they can talk with their mask on and that it doesn't irritate them, so they are not tempted to touch it or pull it out of place, which could put them at risk from touching their face or limiting the mask's effectiveness. |

| Co-Occurring Disorders |
YF-5000.1515 |
A condition, previously referred to in the U.S. as "dual diagnosis", in which individuals have both a diagnosed mental illness and a substance use disorder involving either drugs or alcohol. Any combination of mental health and substance use disorders qualifies for this diagnosis, e.g., an alcohol use disorder and depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and a heroin use disorder, prescription drug dependence and anxiety. For purposes of treatment, it is recommended that clients receive intensive medical and therapeutic intervention and care for both disorders at the same time, allowing them to manage the symptoms caused by the mental health disorder without resorting to drugs and/or alcohol and worsening their mental health symptoms, or allowing an untreated mental health order to increase the urge to drink or get high. |
