As age increases, the risk of falling also does. When faced with balance challenges, the muscular and neurological responses allow for correcting balance. These responses differ when a person expects or does not expect to slip or trip.
Does your child or teen have a history of wheezing or asthma? Your child may be eligible to participate in a registry that will allow us to understand how wheezing and asthma change over time in kids and teens. Compensation provided for in-person study visits. We will also be enrolling some children without a history of wheezing or asthma to serve as a comparison group.

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.
In this study, we want to learn if wearable technology can be used to assess interactions between grandparents and grandchildren. We want to find out if these interactions affect markers associated with grandparent wellbeing. This study will help us to develop new methods that will let us better understand the impact of grandparenting on the health of grandparents.
This three-hour study involves completing an attention task on the computer while you receive different types of electrical stimulation depending on when you visit the lab. You will complete 1 attention task multiple times during each one-hour visit to the lab. During this time, you will receive electrical stimulation for 20 minutes total while performing the attention task. This will result in 3 visits each lasting 1 hour each. This study will allow us to understand how the brain processes attention. Please contact hlmorgan@live.unc.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
