In this study, we will interview Black and African American EMS providers. We want to learn about their experiences in this line of work, with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide protest relating to police killings of Black citizens. Our goal is to characterize this experience and explore reasons for low recruitment and retention of Black EMS providers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate participation in an 8-week community-based, online program for adults that will help them make small changes to their diet, physical activity, and other behaviors to help promote their health or manage their weight. We are interested in who will participate, how much participants will use the program, how many participants are interested in preventing weight gain or losing weight, and how the program will affect eating, physical activity, and stress. This program is based on previous research on approaches the researchers have studied to help people make small changes to their behavior and is being offered in response to an identified need to offer health promotion resources during the COVID-19 pandemic

The purpose of the study is to collect blood from asymptomatic individuals to screen for antibodies for SARS-CoV2 , which is the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness. We would like to see how many people may have been exposed to the virus but who do not have symptoms of the illness. If there are enough tests available, we may ask you to allow us to also do a nasal or oral swab to test for COVID-19. This study is being done at the following clinics: UNC Family Medicine Center (Chapel Hill), UNC Family Medicine (Wakefield), UNC Women's Health at Eden, UNC Family Medicine Southpoint, UNC Internal Medicine Goldsboro, UNC Family Medicine Airport Road (Kinston), North Chatham Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, UNC Specialty Care Sanford, UNC Family Medicine- Mebane, and UNC Family Medicine- Clayton. Ask your provider about participating or contact Martha Almond (information below)

While platforms market gig work as an opportunity for entrepreneurship and as a fall-back option during periods of unemployment, the current coronavirus pandemic -- and the importance of social distancing -- suggests that gig employment might not be a solution during times of national crisis. This mixed methods research project will utilize in-depth interviews and demographic surveys (conducted remotely) with up to 100 gig workers in NYC affiliated to examine how workers are experiencing the virus and how it is impacting their lives and livelihoods.

The primary objective is to establish a comprehensive registry of hospitalized patients with respiratory failure. The registry will be a platform for forthcoming research initiatives. This registry's purpose is to collect vital participant data and specimens, capitalizing on the substantial expertise in respiratory and immunologic translational science at the University of North Carolina.

This is a short survey that will help NC CEAL prioritize resources, programming, and support to alleviate the impact of COVID-19 in communities across North Carolina.

To spread awareness and resources about Long COVID within Eastern North Carolina to healthcare providers, community health workers, lay health advisors, and community leaders. The assessments and evaluations are intended to gather prior knowledge and knowledge gained about Long COVID as well as facilitation and overall effectiveness of the educational sessions.

Since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, students in North Carolina and throughout the world have suffered learning lags particularly in mathematics. Declines in overall proficiency scores of most student subgroups have been reported nationwide. Local efforts to recover learning have yielded minimal gains over the past three years, and this study seeks to uncover the secret to successful supplemental education program models that help to increase academic gains for underachieving student subgroups in mathematics.

We will identify the relationship between pre-covid (March 2020) and current autoimmune disease testing volumes, positivity rates, and staff shortages. The statistical significance of the correlation coefficients (r value) will be assessed. T test mean correlation with be analyzed with the mean difference per test before and post covid-19. How laboratory management goals/priorities have changed will be summarized and analyzed for similarities, differences, and trends.

this study is to analysis data generated from a previous study carried at another facility
