This research will examine the variable ways that people have used and interpreted collections related to the Greensboro Massacre in Wilson Library, and how they conceptualize their research in relation to memory, history, and justice. This project will involve semi-structured interviews with five to eight researchers, working to understand how the interviewees interpret and disseminate their findings from the archive. Afterwards, I will compare interview responses, in order to trace common and divergent themes. I will interview both academic researchers, as well as community historians and activists.
A survey about long-acting injectable medications will be sent to pharmacists in North Carolina who work in the community or outpatient settings.
We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.
The purpose of the study will be to explore the perceptions surrounding parental support and rejection through surveying Chinese or Taiwanese-American young adults that identify as LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, or other non-heterosexual or non-cisgender identity).
This qualitative study is aimed to explore nurses' opinions of using continuous glucose monitoring in adjunction or replacement of point of care glucose testing relating to their workload, satisfaction, feasibility, and barriers to its implementation on adult non-intensive care units through an individual interview via Zoom.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people participate in a professional community of practice about water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in healthcare facilities. We are conducting an online survey to understand how members of this community of practice prefer to participate (e.g., what types of activities) and what barriers they experience to participation.
Interviews are being conducted to establish a set of criteria for gauging the success or failure of corporate rebranding campaigns.
This project helps UNC Health support the health and happiness of people in North Carolina by growing local businesses and sharing wealth.

This study is examining Medicaid "unwinding", which refers to the process occurring nationwide of states resuming eligibility redeterminations for Medicaid enrollees after three years of continuous pandemic-related coverage protections. Over 15 million people are estimated to lose Medicaid coverage through this process, with nearly half still remaining eligible but facing administrative barriers to renew their coverage. This study focuses specifically on North Carolina's experiences with unwinding, utilizing a case study approach.The study aims to explore the factors shaping North Carolina's response, challenges encountered, and outcomes thus far. It also examines potential solutions to strengthen Medicaid policy for future redeterminations.
Previous studies have reported improved nasal congestion following use of the SinuSonic (see sinusonic.com). Researchers at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, are conducting new research to examine additional effects of the SinuSonic on mental health and autonomic activity, by using online questionnaires.
