In this study, we want to test a new web application we are creating. The app will help users find important information about digital health resources and how ready a community is to use them.
Have you experienced online sexual harassment in the past year? If so, you might be able to take part in a study on how common online sexual harassment is. We want to understand it better and find better ways to measure it in research. Compensation provided.
In this study, we want to see how exercise affects the mental health of women in their first year of college. We want to find out if being active helps reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. We are also seeing how adjusting to college life affects these feelings.
Do we feel fear to fall when walking for a long period of time as we age? If you are a healthy older adult (65-99 yrs), you may be able to participate in a study to find out how aging affects neuromuscular control and postural control during prolonged walking and whether carbon fiber insoles can reduce muscle fatigue.
Are you Black/African American or have Middle Eastern ancestry? Are you not taking any medicines that could change your blood count? If so, you might be able to join a study to find out the normal levels of a type of blood cell called neutrophils. Compensation provided.
Ultrasound imaging can be used to non-invasively estimate the stiffness and viscosity of tissues within the body in order to diagnose disease. Many tissues, such as muscle or breast, are anisotropic and display differing stiffness or viscosity based on the imaging angle. We aim to optimize an imaging sequence to measure stiffness, viscosity, and the degree of anisotropy (DoA) of these parameters in healthy human breast. This will enable future studies on the diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography for detecting breast pathologies.
In the early 2000s, over 7,000 teenagers in North Carolina participated in the "Understanding Adolescent Health Risk Behaviors" project, which aimed to explore health and wellbeing of NC teens. With the information gathered in this project, researchers have been able to better understand school engagement, friendships, mental health, tobacco and alcohol use, and home lives of young people. The NC Life Study is an expansion, more than 20 years later, of the original adolescent health study. The NC Life Study seeks to connect experiences that people had as teenagers with the experiences they are having now as adults in order to understand how people's communities, social lives, and families affect health behaviors, mental health, and healthcare access in adulthood.
Hi there, we are looking to interview workers who are willing to share their experience of a recent or an ongoing career/work-related transition they've made or are making. The interview - done remotely - should last between 60-90 minutes. Additionally, participants will be asked to complete a brief pre-interview survey that will help us better prepare for the interview itself. Besides helping out with our project, we hope that this interview may provide a chance for you to reflect on the career transition that you've made so far. If you're interested in participating, please complete the screening questions to help us assess fit. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Are you 40 or older, or do you have Parkinson's disease, or have you had a stroke? Can you walk on your own? You might be able to join a research study to see how different types of feedback can help people walk better.
Researchers are collecting data on lung imaging to evaluate how well a person's lungs are working which will provide additional information about lung disease and how such diseases respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of inert (non-reactive) gas mixed with oxygen as contrast agent to image the airway spaces in normal human lungs and the lungs of persons with cystic fibrosis. A contrast agent helps the investigator to see spaces inside your lungs that are normally not visible. These images will be compared with spirometry (a non-imaging measure of global lung function used routinely in the clinic).
