We are designing a device that aims to use voice technology to collect dietary recall data. We are recruiting Registered Dietitian's aged 22+ years willing to participate in a 40 minute virtual session. Our hope is to collect the thoughts and perspective of a Registered Dietitian in regard to the challenges older adults may face in food recall.
This is a study to find out how early life experiences and exposures can affect a child's likelihood to develop Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) . EoE is a disease that causes abdominal pain, vomiting, heartburn, failure to thrive, and esophageal inflammation in children. We want to learn if exposure to antibiotics, breastfeeding, exposure to pets, smoke, etc. have any relation to EoE.
We are developing training materials to help community pharmacists talk with people about suicide prevention. Your input will help us understand what might make people feel more comfortable speaking to pharmacists when they are experiencing a crisis or approaching a pharmacist if they needed to talk to someone about suicide. We will use this information to help develop important content for future training and education relevant to pharmacists.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how stress affects how you pursue everyday goals after childbirth.
Pelvic exams have been a regular part of yearly check-ups for a long time. In this study, we want to better understand how patients think about pelvic exams in general and as related to birth control.
In this study, we want to learn more about mental health stigma and resource utilization. We also want to learn how stigma affects attitdues towards mental health and mental health resources in collegiate athletes.
This project seeks to adapt and test the existing Tough Talks app to address COVID vaccine hesitancy among African American young adults (AA-YA) aged 18-29.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand, from the perspective of Black patients, whether telemedicine visits make prostate cancer decision making easier or harder. The COVID-19 pandemic made it more difficult for patients to see their doctors, but care could continue by having appointments via a computer or phone, which many prostate cancer doctors used. Whether in person or remote, successfully choosing a treatment for prostate cancer often uses shared decision making (SDM), the process where doctors and patients work together to make decisions that match what matters to patients, but it is unknown whether virtual appointments make discussions better or worse. Other studies have shown that Black patients may be less satisfied with their treatment choices than non-Black patients. Therefore, it is important that we understand how to improve the same quality of care for Black patients.
Para nuestro proyecto, estamos estudiando una evaluación del desarrollo infantil que pueda hacerse a distancia desde la casa de la familia. Esta se llama "Evaluación del neurodesarrollo con ayuda de los padres" o "PANDABox", según su acrónimo. PANDABox se ha usado con familias que hablan inglés, pero no se había traducido al español hasta ahora. De modo que hay dos razones por las que estamos haciendo nuestro estudio: primero, traducir la evaluación al español; y segundo, probar la evaluación con familias latinas con bebés que podrían beneficiarse de una evaluación del desarrollo. Después de probar la evaluación, les preguntaremos a las familias cómo fueron sus experiencias y si tienen alguna sugerencia para mejorarla. En general, esperamos mejorar la evaluación PANDABox en cuanto al idioma y la cultura de las familias que hablan español.
We are interested in improving the intersectional experiences of women of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at UNC. We are doing this study to understand the factors that hinder and support STEM persistence among graduate and undergraduate women of color at UNC.
