The purpose of this study is to conduct interviews to hear people's thoughts and feedback on various aspects of conducting syphilis vaccine research at UNC-Chapel Hill and to ask them to complete a brief online survey after their interviews. The information that participants provide will help the clinical trial researchers to better understand what concerns people might have about syphilis vaccine research and to design clinical trials that are acceptable to potential vaccine research participants.
We are doing this study to learn about how well student identities are represented in teachers and the plays that are produced. This survey is for any college student who is studying theatre or who participated in theatre in high school.

We are doing this study to learn about the experiences of patients who have visited their primary care doctor (UNC Health affiliated clinics/providers) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A screened participant list will be sent to Weill-Cornell (primary site) to schedule and initiate interviews.
We are researching the genetics of those who have major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder and have received or been evaluated for interventional treatments such as ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy), TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), esketamine, and ketamine. "GenECT" is a research study to find ways to improve treatment for severe depression. We want to answer questions like: "Why do some people get severe depression and other people do not?" "Why do interventional treatments like ECT benefit some people more than others?" The GenECT study is a global effort to understand the genetics of severe depression. Dozens of doctors and scientists from around the world are working together with tens of thousands of patients to find out the answers to these questions. UNC is a lead site in this global effort.
