Help us advance research for cerebellum disorders! The ARC Study (Advancing Research for Cerebellum Disorders using 3T & 7T MRI) is currently looking for healthy participants to participate in a research study involving brain MRI scans. Participants can earn up to $100 in giftcards for participation.
Are you interested in learning more about how the body and brain influences social behavior? If you are between 18 and 29 years old, you may be eligible to participate in our new EEG study! This project uses EEG and blood assaying techniques to understand how differences in immune functioning relates to the way that reward is processed in the brain. Compensation is provided.
Preventing walking disability in our rapidly aging population is an enormous public health challenge. Fundamental to their loss of functional mobility is that the muscles needed to power walking experience disproportionate declines in function with age. Wearable assistive devices can be designed to augment the function of these muscles and may make walking easier. If you are a healthy young adult, you may be eligible to participate in a study to help guide the development of more effective exoskeleton designs!
We are conducting 3 90-minute workshops with young adults who consume alcohol to support the development of an intervention to reduce alcohol use and prevent alcohol-related harms.
In this study, we want to test a new web application we are creating. The app will help users find important information about digital health resources and how ready a community is to use them.
In this study, we want to learn more about how common online sexual harassment is. Our goal is to better understand it and find better ways to measure it in research.
In this study, we want to learn about people who have lower levels of a type of blood cell called neutrophils but are still healthy. We want to find the normal neutrophil count in these people. This will help doctors and patients avoid unnecessary tests.
In this study, we want to see how exercise affects the mental health of women in their first year of college. We want to find out if being active helps reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. We are also seeing how adjusting to college life affects these feelings.
Do we feel fear to fall when walking for a long period of time as we age? If you are a healthy older adult (65-99 yrs), you may be able to participate in a study to find out how aging affects neuromuscular control and postural control during prolonged walking and whether carbon fiber insoles can reduce muscle fatigue.
In the early 2000s, over 7,000 teenagers in North Carolina participated in the "Understanding Adolescent Health Risk Behaviors" project, which aimed to explore health and wellbeing of NC teens. With the information gathered in this project, researchers have been able to better understand school engagement, friendships, mental health, tobacco and alcohol use, and home lives of young people. The NC Life Study is an expansion, more than 20 years later, of the original adolescent health study. The NC Life Study seeks to connect experiences that people had as teenagers with the experiences they are having now as adults in order to understand how people's communities, social lives, and families affect health behaviors, mental health, and healthcare access in adulthood.
