This study aims to understand how a person's race and where they live affect the quality of breast cancer care they receive. We invite Black and/or African American breast cancer patients and survivors from specific areas of North Carolina to participate in a virtual focus group. The purpose of this focus group is to get your feedback about maps and other tools our team has created to show how breast cancer care quality varies around the state and by race. We also want to hear your experiences seeking care in your area, and your ideas about possible reasons behind the patterns in your area.
Focus groups for adolescents and caregivers who have had eating disorders or disordered eating to help us develop a new treatment that is appropriate for members of the Latinx community.

The goal of this study is to gather more information on the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals during the family planning process, specifically as they relate to elements of stress and social support. This study will include any LGBTQ+ individuals who have gone through any part of the family planning process, as well as people who work with LGBTQ+ individuals, including (but not limited to) doctors, doulas, lactation consultants, and legal professionals. This will provide groundwork to guide questions in future research on parent and child health in LGBTQ+ populations.
In this study, I want to learn how people who identify as Latino, Hispanic, and/or from Latin America make sense of and understand their identity.
The focus of the research is on the challenges associated with achieving explainability in analytics and AI powered approaches applied in risk predictions in maternal health. As part of this research, we aim to conduct a usability study of an AI-driven postpartum depression risk assessment tool engaging healthcare providers - including doctors, nurses, and midwives - as participants. The usability study will assess healthcare provider's interactions and engagement with the web-based tool, measured by the System Explainability Scale (SES) Score, which quantifies its overarching Explainability, considering the dimensions of understandability, trust, and usability.
In this study, we want to see if AI chatbots give quality health advice to cancer survivors. We want to see if these responses can help providers and doctors respond well to patients' questions and needs.
This project seeks to analyze the information given to women by doctors about what foods and nutritional supplements to take to help with issues related to the gut microbiota and nutrition, including acne, PCOS, irregular menstrual cycles, and osteoporosis. Through oral interviews of both doctors and biological women aged 18+, I will study nutritional advice given, frequency of the advice, whether advice is given to address reproductive health issues or to address perceived issues of weight, and where women are getting their nutritional advice if not from a doctor.
The goal of this study is to understand how community and social connections may serve as protective factors for suicidal thoughts and behaviors in autistic and non-autistic individuals ages 55 and older. We aim to understand how both in-person and online social connections are associated with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. While a history of mental health concerns is required to participate in this study, a history of suicidal thoughts and behaviors is not required.
