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.
Do you ever wonder if there is a connection between oral and gut health and food allergies? Well, so do we! We are trying to enroll pediatric participants in our registry study to determine what the link is and use it to possibly help treat patients in the future.
In this study, we want to learn more about a program (STOMP) designed to improve chronic pain in people living with HIV.
The purpose of this study is to explore what a church is and what it means to attend one. In this study, we will interview people who have personal experience designing, leading, or leaving church spaces.
In this study, we will interview Black and African American EMS providers. We want to learn about their experiences in this line of work, with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide protest relating to police killings of Black citizens. Our goal is to characterize this experience and explore reasons for low recruitment and retention of Black EMS providers.
The purpose of this research study is to understand how a physical activity program for family members and friends can help improve their physical activity and possibly improve the symptoms of Hispanics/Latinos with osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of integrative medical group visits (IMGV) for patients with chronic pain in safety-net healthcare settings. IMGV is one of few integrative pain management programs designed specifically for low-income populations. By understanding what it takes to make these programs successful or not, we aim to test strategies to implement IMGV widely in safety-net settings. The goal is to make integrative pain management more accessible to low-income patients.
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.
In this study, we want to learn more about mental health stigma and mental health history. We also would like to learn about how these factors affect a person's willingness to participate in therapy.
