John M. Hollier, MD, a board-certified pediatric gastroenterologist, is an Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine who seeks to obtain essential skills and mentored research experience for an independent career as a pediatric clinical researcher utilizing health technologies. Many aspects of medicine are affected by poor medication adherence, ill-advised health behaviors, and poor access to medical care. The candidate’s career goal is to conquer these barriers by harnessing the potential of current (e.g., mobile) and future technologies as tools to fulfill these endeavors. Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) affect up to 20% of school-age children (and adults) worldwide and are associated with significant morbidity and health care costs. Up to 60% of children with FAPDs go on to have similar conditions as adults. Many affected children suffer from psychosocial distress like anxiety and depression. The most effective treatment for these disorders (psychological interventions) remains out of reach for most children with FAPDs. The applicant proposes to refine his innovative mobile application (App) prototype designed to remotely deliver audio-recorded guided imagery therapy (ARGIT App) for pediatric patients with FAPDs using accepted technology development techniques. Specific Aims: 1) Refine our ARGIT App prototype’s design, operation, and guided imagery therapy (GIT) session content via patient, caregiver, and expert stakeholders’ feedback by using qualitative interviews 2) Conduct a pragmatic, randomized, waitlist-controlled trial comparing treatment with GIT versus usual care in children with FAPDs to assess the ARGIT App’s efficacy and evaluate whether psychosocial distress is altered as a result of this intervention over time. 3) Assess acceptability of the refined ARGIT App among affected children and their caregivers through qualitative interviews. Dr. Hollier has assembled a multidisciplinary team of esteemed NIH-funded mentors and collaborators with a diverse range of expertise in mobile health App development, clinical trial methodology, qualitative research methods, and health behavior change specialists. In addition, the candidate will acquire additional skills and training through didactic coursework, workshops, directed readings, and conferences. The scientific training obtained through this grant will lead to publications, data, and experience that will enable the candidate to secure NIH funding and establish himself as an independent physician scientist.

John M. Hollier，医学博士，董事会认证的儿科胃肠病学家，是贝勒医学院的助理教授，他寻求获得必要的技能和指导研究经验，作为一名利用健康技术的儿科临床研究人员。药物的许多方面都受到药物依从性差，不明智的健康行为和医疗保健的不良影响。候选人的职业目标是通过利用电流的潜力来克服这些障碍（例如，移动的）和未来技术作为实现这些努力的工具。功能性腹痛障碍（FAPD）影响全球高达20%的学龄儿童（和成人），并与显著的发病率和医疗保健成本相关。高达60%的FAPD儿童继续与成人有类似的情况。许多受影响的儿童患有焦虑和抑郁等心理社会困扰。对于大多数患有FAPD的儿童来说，这些疾病的最有效治疗（心理干预）仍然遥不可及。申请人建议完善其创新的移动的应用程序（App）原型，该原型旨在使用公认的技术开发技术为患有FAPD的儿科患者远程提供音频记录引导影像治疗（ARGIT App）。具体目标：1）通过使用定性访谈，通过患者、护理人员和专家利益相关者的反馈，完善我们的ARGIT应用程序原型的设计、操作和引导性意象治疗（GIT）会话内容2）进行务实、随机、候补名单-一项对照试验，在FAPD儿童中比较GIT治疗与常规护理，以评估ARGIT App的疗效，并评估是否因此改变了心理社会困扰干预随着时间的推移。3)通过定性访谈评估受影响儿童及其照顾者对改进后的ARGIT应用程序的接受程度。Hollier博士组建了一个由NIH资助的受人尊敬的导师和合作者组成的多学科团队，他们在移动的健康应用程序开发、临床试验方法、定性研究方法和健康行为改变专家方面拥有广泛的专业知识。此外，候选人将通过教学课程，研讨会，指导阅读和会议获得额外的技能和培训。通过这项资助获得的科学培训将导致出版物，数据和经验，使候选人能够获得NIH的资助，并成为一名独立的医生科学家。
