IGHID 12604 - Just the tip of the iceberg: LaCrosse virus in western NC

The objective of this pilot study is to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of collecting a large volume of clinical samples from febrile children in a LACV endemic area. We hypothesize that because most LACV infections result in mild disease, screening children with typical symptoms (e.g., fever, headache) presenting to outpatient settings during peak months (i.e., June - October) will identify many more infections - and yield critical samples containing virus - than approaches focused on severe disease. To accomplish this goal, we will leverage a "light touch" protocol hat is integrated into routine clinic flows, including streamlined consent processes and non-invasive (i.e., finger prick) phlebotomy.

Generative AI and Legal Research Instruction

This study will survey academic law librarians on whether they are teaching generative AI in their legal research classes. Generative AI is changing the way lawyers and law students conduct legal research. In this new environment, law school graduates are expected to understand how to use generative AI research tools. This study will look at whether law librarians are teaching generative AI in their legal research classes. The results of this study will provide data on law school trends and will give law librarians the opportunity to see what their colleagues are doing.

Nutrition Study

Adequate nutrition, particularly regular fruit and vegetable consumption, is essential for chronic disease prevention and overall health. Although national dietary guidelines recommend increased intake, many adults-especially those in underserved or low-resource communities-do not meet these recommendations. Barriers such as limited access to affordable healthy foods, food deserts, and socioeconomic constraints contribute significantly to inadequate dietary intake. Nutrition literacy also plays an important role in dietary behaviors. Individuals with limited understanding of recommended dietary guidelines may be less likely to prioritize fruit and vegetable consumption, even when access exists. Lower nutrition knowledge has been associated with poorer dietary quality, further compounding the effects of food insecurity. Additionally, nutrition may not be consistently addressed in healthcare settings, creating gaps in patient education and support. This study examines the relationship between food access, nutrition knowledge, and fruit and vegetable intake among adults in underserved communities in Charlotte, North Carolina. Findings aim to inform targeted clinical
