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.

PharmAlliance is a global partnership between the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Monash University Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and UCL School of Pharmacy. Numerous achievements such as publications, grants, student exchanges, and teaching innovations have resulted from this international alliance. Existing research, however, does not look into specific characteristics of successful international collaborations. In this observational study, collaborators in PharmAlliance will be surveyed and interviewed in order to determine characteristics of successful international teams in pharmacy and more broadly.
The purpose of the TEACH Study is to collect data on whether mood symptoms and estrogen levels change during the first month after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. These results may help us understand whether mood symptoms and hormone levels change during this time, which will help us better support women who undergo this surgery in the future. During this study, we will collect mood questionnaires and hormone levels (sometimes in blood and sometimes in saliva) weekly through the first month after surgery.
