Vietnamese Americans in North Carolina have vibrant diversity in origin stories - in pursuit of political freedom (Dang 2008), access to higher quality education (Ngo 2007), and religious freedom (Phan 2023) among many others. As such, the purpose of the study is to identify unique immigration stories from the Vietnamese American diaspora in North Carolina. The discussions of food will be utilized to investigate personal immigration stories; ultimately, the study will observe the generational effects of immigration and the impact of food on their relationship with their community.

The primary objective of PATIENCE is to develop a standardized approach to the treatment of NTM in CF patients with a diagnosis of NTM disease. The secondary objectives are to: - Evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of a standardized treatment protocol for NTM disease - Evaluate effectiveness of a standardized NTM disease treatment protocol to serve as baseline/reference estimates of endpoints in clinical care and future therapeutic trials - Support biomarker development for markers of NTM treatment response through banking of clinical specimens and NTM isolates linked with outcomes data - Characterize clinical features of patients achieving treatment success compared to those unresponsive to treatment

To follow people with cystic fibrosis who have cultured a positive NTM bacteria.

This study hopes to identify barriers to care for patients with interstitial lung disease by surveying patient experiences with symptoms, diagnosis, ongoing treatment of their lung disease.

To develop novel PROs for evaluating QoL among patients after IPAA, including those with acute pouchitis and chronic pouch-related conditions.

To evaluate medical students' levels of burnout and empathy using validated survey tools at the beginning and end of their third year surgery clerkship. Burnout within the medical community is a known problem and there is data demonstrating it begins in training. We want to evaluate if participation within the surgery clerkship contributes to burnout and measure how empathy relates to these symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to determine if UNC's "Our Place In Space!" laboratory curriculum, in which students use fully automated (i.e., robotic) telescopes to collect astronomical images and data, increases students' (1) attitudes, (2) self-efficacy, (3) career intentions, and (4) content knowledge, regarding STEM and astronomy.

This study will illustrate how place is created for older adults through connections among aging, environment, and occupation. I will use a narrative approach to examine how community-based organizational leaders relate stories of anticipated meaningful relationships among aging, environment, and occupation in a community-based Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness. Additionally, I will explore how older adults narrate their meaningful occupational engagement among these environmental contexts. Overall, I will assess the connections between community-based organizational leaders' related stories of how aging, environment, and occupation would be situated and older adults' narrated accounts of their occupational engagement among the Center's environmental contexts.

The purpose of this study is to understand how the graduate academic environment at UNC-Chapel Hill impacts mental health from the perspective of Black men in graduate degree programs. Participants in this study will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview that will be virtual. This interview will last about 1 hour. Participants will be guided through prompts to bring out their views and experiences around graduate school and mental health. The insights gained from this study may inform a larger project on graduate student well-being and help develop future initiatives to support the health of Black men pursuing graduate degrees.
