The P3 Study is also known as the Path to Prevent Preterm Birth Study. This study collects detailed data and biologic samples. It will help researchers to understand why some women have more than one preterm birth. For example, information from this study may help doctors know which medications or medical care will work best to help women deliver full term. We hope that this research will help improve outcomes for moms and babies in North Carolina and beyond! We are including women who have had a previous preterm birth. We are also asking some women who have delivered only full term babies to participate.

While platforms market gig work as an opportunity for entrepreneurship and as a fall-back option during periods of unemployment, the current coronavirus pandemic -- and the importance of social distancing -- suggests that gig employment might not be a solution during times of national crisis. This mixed methods research project will utilize in-depth interviews and demographic surveys (conducted remotely) with up to 100 gig workers in NYC affiliated to examine how workers are experiencing the virus and how it is impacting their lives and livelihoods.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an educational platform for concussion education.

In this study, we want to learn how our genes and how we live can make kids overweight and cause health problems.

Have you had a stroke? Did someone you care about have a stroke? If you are interested in participating in research studies related to stroke, you may join the UNC Stroke Research Registry. People on the registry may be called by researchers to find out if they want to participate in one or more studies related to stroke.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about messages about cigarettes and health.

This project will examine how men and women define egalitarianism within a romantic relationship through individual interviews with romantic partners.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether aspects of personality (the way people generally behave) relate to the types of choices people make. We will ask you a series of questions about your personality, and then ask you to complete three brief decision-making tasks.

The purpose of this study is to understand the current state of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and inclusion in early childhood education, early childhood special education, and early intervention service delivery. The survey will ask about current practices in early education and early intervention. The survey will additionally ask participants about their feelings and beliefs, barriers, successes, and desire to learn more about STEM and inclusion. The information will be used to inform the STEM Innovations for Inclusion in Early Education (STEMIE) Center at Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute in its goal of helping early educators learn and apply STEM experiences for their young learners with and without disabilities.

Wood smoke pollution is a common problem across the world, including in the US. This wood smoke comes from people using wood to heat and cook, as well as from wildfires. The purpose of this research study is to screen individuals to see how they respond to wood smoke inhalation by measuring cells in sputum (or phlegm, that you cough up) to see if there is an increase in the number of cells after exposure. The exposure will be to 500ug/m3 of WSP for 2 hours, with intermittent exercise on a bicycle and rest. The wood is burned in a typical wood stove and piped into the chamber. There is a specific gene that we believe impacts the response to wood smoke exposure, we will also look to see if you have this gene or not (about 40% -60% of people do).
