Artificial Intelligence and Mental Health

This study explores how college students feel and think about using artificial intelligence (AI) to help with mental health. We want to see if students studying science and technology (STEM) feel differently about AI than students in other areas. We're studying this because AI is being used more and more to solve both work and personal problems. However, using AI in mental health is still new and has not been talked about much.

Understanding Parents' Motivations for Enrolling Children in African-Centered Education Early Learning Programs

The significance of this project is to go beyond the discourse of culturally responsive practices in early childhood education and attend to the cultural and holistic needs of children and families by providing in-depth knowledge about what it means to be in ACE schools for Black families and their children. Coupled with the fact that much of the extant research on ACE has been on students in the upper grades and there has been little attention to parents' motivation for choosing ACE preschool programs, this proposed project has implications both for addressing inequities in early care and education access and experiences for Black children but also identifying a culturally-rooted approach to meeting the racial, cultural, and developmental needs of Black diasporic children in the U.S. during a critical time of development. This insight from Black families can create, cultivate, and expand such programs and practices across the country.

Religion and Organ Donation Registration Decisions in Black Christian Communities Study

This study explores how religious beliefs influence decisions about organ donation in Black Christian communities. Many Black Americans need organ transplants, but donation rates in these communities are lower than in others. Religious beliefs may play a role in these decisions, but past research has not fully explored how people learn about their religion's views on organ donation or how these beliefs affect their choices. By interviewing Black Christians, this study aims to better understand their thoughts, experiences, and concerns about organ donation. The goal is to help create better ways to share information about organ donation that respect religious beliefs and encourage informed decision-making.
