The purpose of this evaluation will be to assess how the NC-DSS competencies and learning objectives for the Child Welfare in North Carolina -Pre-service Course are integrated into the curriculum of NC Social Work programs participating in the NC-Child Welfare Education Collaborative (NC-CWEC) program. NC-CWEC is a statewide consortium of social work programs that are incorporating NC-DSS competencies and learning objectives that address child welfare practice into the curriculum of their social work programs.

The study is designed to look at Crohn's disease over a period time, from before a surgery to 12 months after the surgery has taken place. The role bacteria in the gut plays in Crohn's disease (CD) is not well understood. Which particular microbes contribute to disease remain unknown. In CD, ~70% of patients will end up requiring surgery due to chronic unrelenting complications, and ~50% require additional surgery. We hope to identify key microbes at the time of surgery in stool and tissue and correlate it over time with data collected at timepoints after surgery. We will use this data with clinical information to determine if specific microbes are associated with disease recurrence.

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.

We examine how UK nationals view countries that are subject to hostile behavior by foreign governments.

Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) contribute substantially to the burden of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients in the United States and are a significant economic burden on the healthcare system. Approximately 3-5% of patients in the United States contract a HAI during the course of their treatment, and an estimated $7-14 billion are spent annually on treating these infections. HAIs also contribute to development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), placing additional burden on the healthcare system and substantially raising the costs of treatment. Novel microbiome engineering technologies that address the HAI problem are currently being developed by researchers. We will conduct a qualitative study to assess the factors influencing the adoption of novel microbiome engineering among hospital nurses in the United States.

This study explores how young men think about college and how media-like social media, websites, and online messages-may influence their views. The goal is to better understand what helps or discourages men from considering higher education. This research could help schools and organizations improve how they talk about college to make it more relatable and supportive for everyone.

We are assessing clinician and breast cancer survivors' perceptions of our interactive, artificial intelligence-based decision aid, designed to help inform patients who are considering breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

This research study aims to improve the resolution of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to reduce radiation exposure using software.

This study is about how young adults use generative AI, which can create text, images, and more. We want to learn why they use these tools, how they feel about them, and whether using them is connected to their personality and mental health. Understanding this can help us know more about how these technologies affect people's lives.

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.
