This study aims to explore what helps and what hinders participant recruitment for a Lyme disease study among dog owners in northwestern North Carolina. This information will help improve recruitment strategies and provide insight into future scalability and adoption of One Health interventions.

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.

This research study aims to improve the resolution of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to reduce radiation exposure using software.

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 of this study is to collect peripheral blood stem cells from participants which will be used to develop humanized mice reconstituted with human peripheral blood and hematopoietic stem cells. Humanized mice developed from these samples will be used solely for research advance our understanding of the molecular basis of HIV infection and persistence of latent HIV, with an overall goal of advancing the field toward HIV cure.

We investigate how reports from election observation missions (EOMs) shape perceptions of election integrity. We also investigate the effect of government criticism of EOMs.

The purpose of this study is to determine if performing a paracervical block, or placing local anesthetic around the cervix, at the time of vaginal hysterectomy and prolapse repair reduces the amount of opioid medications that patients need and pain that patients feel after surgery. Even short term use of opioid medications can be associated with side effects such as constipation, nausea, somnolence, or dependence.

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.
