The goal of this study is to help CAPRICORN understand the needs of primary care clinics in North Carolina that provide free or low-cost healthcare.

We are doing a study to learn how different Spanish speakers-people who grew up speaking Spanish at home and people who learned it later-use Spanish in different situations. We want to understand how they choose between different ways of saying things, like which verb form or sentence sounds best to them. This will help us learn more about how bilingual people think about grammar and how their experiences with both Spanish and English may affect the way they use language. We are not testing anyone or grading them; we're just interested in the choices they make and how they think about them. By learning more about this, we hope to improve how Spanish is taught and supported in schools and communities.
We want to find out how people in North Carolina think about climate change and clean energy. To do this, we ask participants to sort statements about topics like protecting communities, using renewable energy, and paying for projects. By looking at how people group these statements, we can see what ideas are important to them. This information will help leaders and communities work together on plans that keep everyone safer and healthier in the face of climate challenges.

Health literacy is the ability for individuals to read and understand health information in order to make health decisions. The American Medical Association recommends that patient information guides are written at or below a sixth grade reading level. However previous studies have found that most patient educational material in urogynecology are written above the recommended sixth grade reading level. The purpose of this research study is to see if patients are better able to better understand informational handouts written at above a sixth-grade reading level compared to informational handouts written below a sixth-grade reading level.

We are studying how what people see on social media relates to how they feel while scrolling and how they feel at work. We want to learn whether these feelings connect to trust in coworkers, leaders, and organizations. Adults who work in the U.S. will complete a short online survey about their social media use, recent feelings, empathy, and work attitudes. Results may help workplaces better understand how everyday online experiences relate to teamwork and trust.
