The research study seeks to improve the effectiveness of warnings for little cigars and cigarillos (LCCs) among youth. Scientific findings will provide novel and necessary evidence regarding the effectiveness of LCC warnings and will inform efforts to strengthen warnings through larger warning size and added images. Ultimately, this research can be used to reduce LCC use among youth and lessen tobacco-related disparities.
In this study, we want to learn about the differences in the personal values of donors based on cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This will help organizations to better understand how to engage people from various cultures and ethnicities on issues that affect their communities.
Latino/a/x populations are diverse, and one area of diversity is by race. For this study we are interested in learning from the perspectives of Black Latin Americans in the United States (Afro-Latinos) to understand their experiences in the U.S. This includes what stress they face, how that stress affects their health (physical, mental), and experiences with the healthcare system.
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.

Do you have any of your baby teeth or are you a parent who has kept your child's baby teeth? Are you a young adult or a parent of a child age 25 or under? Did you know scientists can learn all about different medications, foods, and environmental exposures in a child's early life from their teeth? You may be able to take part in a research study to learn what factors increase children's risk of developing EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis)! We are looking for children and young adults (age 0-25) with or without EoE to volunteer. Compensation will be provided.
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.
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.
