NC Life Study

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.

Career transitions research study

Hi there, we are looking to interview workers who are willing to share their experience of a recent or an ongoing career/work-related transition they've made or are making. The interview - done remotely - should last between 60-90 minutes. Additionally, participants will be asked to complete a brief pre-interview survey that will help us better prepare for the interview itself. Besides helping out with our project, we hope that this interview may provide a chance for you to reflect on the career transition that you've made so far. If you're interested in participating, please complete the screening questions to help us assess fit. Thank you for your time and consideration.

19F MRI Healthy vs. CF

Researchers are collecting data on lung imaging to evaluate how well a person's lungs are working which will provide additional information about lung disease and how such diseases respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of inert (non-reactive) gas mixed with oxygen as contrast agent to image the airway spaces in normal human lungs and the lungs of persons with cystic fibrosis. A contrast agent helps the investigator to see spaces inside your lungs that are normally not visible. These images will be compared with spirometry (a non-imaging measure of global lung function used routinely in the clinic).

AI-assisted Deceptive Hotel Review Detection

The purpose of this research study is to investigate how human interpret some predictive learned by AI systems when detecting deceptive hotel reviews and how AI explanations can shape human understanding. For instance, the AI system learns that words like "floor" and "bathroom" are highly predictive of genuine reviews and words like "husband" and "luxury" are highly predictive of deceptive reviews. While the AI system highlights these words by learning from the data, the association between these words and the outcome are not easy to comprehend for humans. Thus, our goal of this research is to investigate how participants interact with machine-generated explanations that are unintuitive, and how participants make use of our developed visualizations and tools to make sense of these unintuitive features.
