I will be evaluating the usefulness of a standardized handoff tool, the I-PASS tool, in improving nurse to nurse shift handoff on an adult behavioral health unit.

We examine how UK nationals view countries that are subject to hostile behavior by foreign governments.

Our study focuses on finding potential cases of Perinatal Depression amongst women in Za'atari Refugee Camp for Syrian refugees in Jordan. We created a paper survey that took questions from the Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale, the official questionnaire for assessing individuals for symptoms of this mental condition, and plan to give copies of the survey to patients at the Women and Girls Comprehensive Centre run by the Jordan Health Aid Society (JHASi). We are conducting this study because, while JHASi has information on some mental health conditions in Za'atari, they have no data on Perinatal Depression. According to this research, it seems many women are exposed to situations that could result in them developing Perinatal Depression. By assessing the women in the clinic for symptoms of this condition, our study will help fill this gap in JHASi's data and allow the organization to create new mental health support systems.

The purpose of this research study is to learn how people's experiences at work relate to their health.

The purpose of this focus group is to get feedback from patient representatives at UNC Internal Medicine on a set of proposed patient resources and referrals to osteoarthritis resources.

This study seeks to build novel understanding of the household-level impacts of extreme weather events (like flash floods) on motor vehicle ownership and travel patterns.

We are studying how to make medical test results easier for patients to understand. Pathology reports, which explain what doctors find in tissue samples, are often written for medical professionals and can be hard for patients to read. In this study, we are testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help explain these reports in plain language. Patients having a routine screening procedure will read a sample report with or without an AI-generated explanation. Then they will answer questions about how well they understood the report and how they felt about it. We want to learn if using AI helps people better understand their health information and feel more confident making decisions. This will help improve the way test results are shared in the future.

In the US, systematic economic and social disadvantages negatively impact certain groups of people resulting in higher risk for poorer health outcomes and lower quality of life for these groups. These health inequities contribute to vast, nationwide economic burdens. The intersection of insuring healthcare in the US and ensuring health equity sets the stage for the challenges explored in this research proposal. With the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launching a Stars Health Equity Index to measure and reward health insurer performance for quality ratings within higher social risk factor populations, this shows the critical role that health insurers can play in advancing health equity and lowering costs across the broader US healthcare system. This research study can help provide critical insights about how health insurers can play a significant and effective role in advancing and ensuring health equity.

Student researchers will develop a set of 10-15 infographics of interventions that incorporate the Safe Systems principles. This project will work closely with the NC Vision Zero team to gather input from key road safety partners across the country (e.g., the Vision Zero Network, and Families for Safe Streets) via interviews to identify interventions to highlight, collaborate with the design team at NC State's Institute for Transportation Research and Education to produce quality materials, and work with local NC communities to conduct usability testing of materials and create a dissemination plan for the NC Vision Zero team.

We seek to obtain insight into how the increased use of AI-related technologies has and will impact the accounting profession. This is part of an existing research paper that uses empirical archival methods. As part of the review process, we have been asked to supplement our existing findings with evidence from surveys and interviews.
