Hearing and Balance

The purpose of our study is to increase our understanding of how hearing affects balance performance in older adults. 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.

Mentoring in Medicine Longitudinal Study

The United States is facing a worsening physician shortage that particularly affects people living in rural or underserved communities. One strategy used to address this problem is clinical exposure programs for students in high school, college, and/or medical school. Research currently suggests that these programs could influence participants' interest in medicine, specialty choice, and practice location preferences. Mentoring in Medicine is a summer clinical exposure program that targets college students in the Johnstown area of Pennsylvania. This region of the state is socioeconomically disadvantaged and medically underserved. No formal follow-up has been conducted on the participants since the program began in 2004. We plan on surveying these past participants to examine their academic and career interests and outcomes. We will also use physician databases to determine career outcomes. This data will help contribute to the body of evidence regarding educational interventions to improve medical shortages in the United States.

Measuring stability, reliability, and robustness of the Lateralized Attention Network Test (LANT) over multiple testing sessions

To determine the effect of multiple testing sessions on the performance in an attention task. The lateralized attentional network test (LANT) measures alerting, orienting, and executive control of attention. Six test sessions will be administered to examine stability, robustness, and reliability of the test. This study will be the first to examine if performance of the three attention networks in both hemispheres changes over time using the LANT. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to examine the robustness, reliability, and stability of the three attention networks over repeated testing sessions.

Using gamification for simulators

The aim of this study is to increase awareness and use of the haptics simulation lab at a research medical university using gamification. When the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry first purchased dental case simulators (Simodont), they purchased two and put them in a room disassociated with the preclinical lab resulting in very little use of the simulators. In August of 2024, eight more simulators were purchase and all ten were moved to the preclinical lab. Orientations to the simulators were in the form of eModules on Canvas and face-to-face hands-on training. Faculty members desiring to use them in their courses met with the Simodont administrator to edit cases that came with the simulators. Currently first and second year dental students are using the simulated cases in their preclinical courses with the third and fourth year students already in the clinic attending to

Brooks Oral History

I'm doing a project to learn how Lumbee food traditions are kept alive today. I'm talking with Lumbee community members about the meals they cook, the gardens they grow, and the stories they remember. These food traditions, like making cornbread or growing collards, help show who we are and where we come from. I want to understand how these traditions are passed down in families and shared in the community, even as times change. By recording these stories, I hope to help keep them alive for future generations.
