We want to learn more about patients' experiences with hospital care at home compared to care in the hospital building.

This will help us understand the costs, challenges, and benefits of different types of hospital care.

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.

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.
