Fan Perceptions of Sport Betting Sponsorship

With the legalization of betting in many U.S. states over the last five years, sports betting company sponsorships are becoming commonplace, partnering with entities (i.e., leagues, teams, athletes) to promote their products, in a historically taboo/illegal market. Prominent partnerships exist between the NFL and sport betting companies DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesar's, and BetMGM. Similarly, the NBA has partnerships with DraftKings and FanDuel. At the team level, FanDuel, currently is in partnership with the more than 21 teams across the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLS, and MLB (FanDuel, 2024). Additionally, numerous professional athletes (both active and former) have signed endorsement deals with major sport betting/gaming companies (e.g., NBA's LeBron James and DraftKings; NFL's Travis and Jason Kelce and PrizePicks). The purpose of this study is to examine differences in fans' attitudes toward the perceived fit of sport betting sponsorship of various sport entities by college-aged individuals.

Perceptions of microbiome engineering technologies among hospital nurses

Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) contribute substantially to the burden of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients in the United States and are a significant economic burden on the healthcare system. Approximately 3-5% of patients in the United States contract a HAI during the course of their treatment, and an estimated $7-14 billion are spent annually on treating these infections. HAIs also contribute to development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), placing additional burden on the healthcare system and substantially raising the costs of treatment. Novel microbiome engineering technologies that address the HAI problem are currently being developed by researchers. We will conduct a qualitative study to assess the factors influencing the adoption of novel microbiome engineering among hospital nurses in the United States.

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.

Understanding the Decline in Male Enrollment in Higher Education: A Qualitative Study of Young Men's Perceptions

This study explores how young men think about college and how media-like social media, websites, and online messages-may influence their views. The goal is to better understand what helps or discourages men from considering higher education. This research could help schools and organizations improve how they talk about college to make it more relatable and supportive for everyone.

GenAI and Young Adults' Mental Health

This study is about how young adults use generative AI, which can create text, images, and more. We want to learn why they use these tools, how they feel about them, and whether using them is connected to their personality and mental health. Understanding this can help us know more about how these technologies affect people's lives.

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.
