The study is designed to investigate how people find and learn information using digital search systems. With the World Wide Web and other digital tools, tons of information is placed at the tips of our fingers. For many years, search engines were the predominant tool for information retrieval on the web. However, recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have resulted in increasing use of AI chatbots to find and learn information. This study compares how users interact with search engines and chatbots to find and learn information to better understand the cognitive processes involved in digital search and how these systems support learning.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of the Well-Being Initiative for Woman Faculty of Color (the "Program") on overall well-being, career advancement and professional success. The Program is designed for early and mid-career Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women faculty at U.S. Schools of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at research-intensive institutions. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with Houston Wellness Workshops for Women (H3W), has developed this two-year program to support the well-being and professional advancement of BIPOC women faculty in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences research. Participants in the study will take voluntary surveys during the Program to evaluate three factors: well-being, burnout, and self-efficacy in their professional academic roles before and after completing the Program.

This will help us know whether older adults with balance concerns should be screened for hearing loss and whether use of hearing aids may be important for improving balance and preventing falls in older adults with hearing loss.

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.

With the legalization of betting in many U.S. states over the last five years, sports betting company sponsorships are becoming commonplace, partnering with entities (i.e., leagues, teams, athletes) to promote their products, in a historically taboo/illegal market. Prominent partnerships exist between the NFL and sport betting companies DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesar's, and BetMGM. Similarly, the NBA has partnerships with DraftKings and FanDuel. At the team level, FanDuel, currently is in partnership with the more than 21 teams across the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLS, and MLB (FanDuel, 2024). Additionally, numerous professional athletes (both active and former) have signed endorsement deals with major sport betting/gaming companies (e.g., NBA's LeBron James and DraftKings; NFL's Travis and Jason Kelce and PrizePicks). The purpose of this study is to examine differences in fans' attitudes toward the perceived fit of sport betting sponsorship of various sport entities by college-aged individuals.

The purpose of this study is to examine how people perceive various alcohol products. This will better our understanding of consumer perceptions of alcohol products.

Our study focuses on finding potential cases of Perinatal Depression amongst women in Za'atari Refugee Camp for Syrian refugees in Jordan. We created a paper survey that took questions from the Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale, the official questionnaire for assessing individuals for symptoms of this mental condition, and plan to give copies of the survey to patients at the Women and Girls Comprehensive Centre run by the Jordan Health Aid Society (JHASi). We are conducting this study because, while JHASi has information on some mental health conditions in Za'atari, they have no data on Perinatal Depression. According to this research, it seems many women are exposed to situations that could result in them developing Perinatal Depression. By assessing the women in the clinic for symptoms of this condition, our study will help fill this gap in JHASi's data and allow the organization to create new mental health support systems.
