• Improving family functioning through physical activity

  This study is testing whether different ways of encouraging parents and kids to be active together can improve family relationships and help kids get more exercise.

  Recruiting University of Victoria · Victoria, British Columbia · NCT06098716

• Examining how family habits can improve children's physical activity

  NIH research University of Victoria · Victoria, Canada · NIH-11228411

• A direct, point-of-care test to detect infectious and congenital syphilis

  A new diagnostic test is being developed to directly detect active syphilis infections, including congenital cases, and to work at the point of care.

  NIH research University of Victoria · Victoria, Canada · NIH-11166664

• Creating a new vaccine to prevent syphilis infections

  NIH research University of Victoria · Victoria, Canada · NIH-11075298

• Understanding how the syphilis-causing bacteria spread in the body

  This study is looking at how the syphilis-causing bacteria spread in the body, with the goal of finding new ways to prevent infections, which could eventually help in creating vaccines or other protective methods for people at risk.

  NIH research University of Victoria · Victoria, Canada · NIH-11002261

• Creating a new test to diagnose infectious and congenital syphilis

  This study is working on a new, easy-to-use test for syphilis that can quickly and accurately tell if someone has an active infection or if a newborn has congenital syphilis, especially in places where healthcare is hard to reach.
