The purpose of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate a decision support website (RealRisks) designed to inform patients about breast cancer prevention options. It is coupled with a physician-centered (BNAV) decision support website as part of clinical workflow in the primary care setting. The investigators…
We are conducting a series of focus group sessions to investigate the attitudes and opinions of young Black women regarding breast cancer, breast cancer risk, and biomarker-based screening to inform current breast cancer screening guidelines.
We are currently recruiting women to TMIST, a clinical trial that will help us develop strategies that tailor breast cancer screening to the risks of individual women. This is a screening trial. The purpose of this trial is to determine if tomosynthesis (3-D) mammography detects breast cancer at…
The Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University is doing a research study to learn how to best improve sleep health in couples for supporting heart health. We are looking for couples aged 30-65 years with no history of cancer or heart disease. To see if individuals qualify for the study, couples who are interested…

We are looking for adults aged 30+ years with no history of cancer or heart disease. To see if individuals qualify for the study, those who are interested in participating will first do…
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to temporarily induce or accentuate insulin resistance in 14 volunteers…
We are recruiting healthy volunteers, aged 18-65, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to induce temporary insulin resistance in 10-12 healthy…
While optical colonoscopy (OC) is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, there are alternative approaches to visualization of the colon. Participants will receive screening by either colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) and computed tomographic colonography (CTC). They will be instructed to follow a detailed…
This study is evaluating genomic screening in Ashkenazi Jewish and Hispanic communities. Genomic screening is done by collecting a blood sample and looking at a person's genes to learn if they are at high risk for certain health problems like cancer or heart disease or are at risk to have a child with a genetic condition. The…
