The purpose of this research is to examine how listeners access and learn speech when listening in clear or challenging conditions. We are currently recruiting adults with normal hearing. Research participants may be asked to complete listening tasks, complete questionnaires, and complete sleep tracking measures. The research study is expected to take 7 days of participation and will be completed with 2 in-person sessions. The goal of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of how listeners learn new speech signals, and in so doing, point to rehabilitation considerations for listeners with hearing loss.

Community health assessments (CHA) are used to identify key health needs and issues through systematic, comprehensive data collection, and analysis. Commonly these assessments focus on disease and injuries causes the most health risk in the community of focus. Determinants of health are also included in a CHA. These determinants may include environmental factors. However the inclusion of a full environmental assessment in a CHA is very uncommon. Despite the potential of CHAs to assess cumulative impacts, limited environmental data weakens their effectiveness. The Lumbee Tribe recently conducted a Tribal Health Assessment and it included only one question about environmental quality. This research aims to identify what should be included in a future Tribal Environmental Health Assessment.

In a descriptive study, we intend to explore the comparative efficacy of culturally tailored CPR training, with five components: language variations, cultural adaptations, sex/age-specific instruction, socioeconomic adaptations, and consideration of cultural learning styles. By examining these components, we seek to identify the most effective and culturally sensitive approaches to CPR education. The primary goal is to develop a culturally tailored CPR training curriculum that raises confidence levels of individuals in performing bystander CPR, thus increasing bystander CPR rates and the likelihood of positive cardiac arrest outcomes.
