The goal of this study is to develop new ways of figuring out which children with acute respiratory illnesses (like cough, cold, or flu) would benefit from antibiotic treatment. To do this, we will evaluate different combinations of vital signs, symptoms, results from tests for infections that cause respiratory illness, and measurement of the body's immune response to see which ones best predict the presence of infection that requires antibiotic treatment.

The goal of this project is to understand how community pharmacies work collaboratively with patients to reduce the harm that opioid misuse can cause. Investigators are also seeking to understand what challenges community pharmacies face when trying to decrease harm from opioids by supporting safe use of opioid medications and access to medications for opioid use disorder treatment and opioid overdose reversal. Information gathering efforts are being focused on community pharmacies that serve racial and ethnic minority communities in rural areas. Triangle CERSI scientists are working collaboratively with the FDA to survey and interview pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, patients, and other community members to collect and analyze data needed to better understand community pharmacy challenges in these areas. Ultimately, investigators seek to explore effective ways to reduce the harm from opioid misuse among underserved communities.

The purpose of this study is to understand how people gather information from reference letters, which are short essays written by a former colleague or supervisor to support someone's application for a new role.

This study will test the effect and effectiveness of labels on political ads that disclose the use of generative AI.

This study will examine how, if at all, schools are using the school improvement process to identify and address inequities.

The purpose of this research study is to better understand executive function and decision making in adults. We are interested in how color and emotional interference impact reaction time and attention.

The purpose of the TEACH Study is to collect data on whether mood symptoms and estrogen levels change during the first month after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. These results may help us understand whether mood symptoms and hormone levels change during this time, which will help us better support women who undergo this surgery in the future. During this study, we will collect mood questionnaires and hormone levels (sometimes in blood and sometimes in saliva) weekly through the first month after surgery.

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.

We want to know more about why women may leave a family planning visit without the method they wanted when they arrived. We are asking providers about their experiences providing family planning care and why this may happen.
