Evaluating Cancer Screening Events at North Carolina Community Health Centers

The goal of this study is to help CAPRICORN understand the needs of primary care clinics in North Carolina that provide free or low-cost healthcare. We will focus on how these clinics can offer cancer screening events to people in the community. To do this, we will create and use a survey to learn more about the needs of 3-4 clinics in North Carolina. Our findings will be shared in a report that includes suggestions for how CAPRICORN can grow over the next five years.

Patient handout reading level

Health literacy is the ability for individuals to read and understand health information in order to make health decisions. The American Medical Association recommends that patient information guides are written at or below a sixth grade reading level. However previous studies have found that most patient educational material in urogynecology are written above the recommended sixth grade reading level. The purpose of this research study is to see if patients are better able to better understand informational handouts written at above a sixth-grade reading level compared to informational handouts written below a sixth-grade reading level.

Reputation and International Cooperation

In this project we are interested in how reputations affect international cooperation. In particular, we are interested in studying how the cost of cooperation changes for countries who fail to uphold their international commitments. We anticipate that this happens via two mechanisms. The first is direct: a change in beliefs about the state's reliability in the eyes of other countries. The second is indirect: a concern that failing to punish a state for non-cooperative behavior will invite more non-cooperative behavior in the future. States, we suspect, are thus concerned with developing a reputation for tolerating non-cooperative behavior. We use survey experiments on the US public and elites to study these questions.

Omega 3-fatty acid 3 month intervention for male adults who are overweight or obese.

Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation, which increases the risk for other metabolic diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids and their derivatives have anti-inflammatory properties but are reduced in people who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to determine if omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (SPM Active) for 3 months can effectively increase the biological levels of its lipid components in adult males who are overweight or obese. Additionally, we will determine if supplementation with SPM Active can improve mental health outcomes, as measured by validated surveys.
