We are studying how myasthenia gravis (MG) affects women during important life stages like menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. MG is a rare, chronic condition causing muscle weakness. Many women with MG notice changes in symptoms during their periods or pregnancies. We want to understand these changes better to help doctors treat female MG patients more effectively. By collecting information through surveys, we aim to learn about symptom fluctuations related to hormonal changes and identify patterns. This study will provide valuable insights into the unique experiences of women with MG during these life stages, guiding future medical practices and improving care for individuals managing this condition.
Foster children are a vulnerable population in the US. One study found that youth who have a history of foster care had higher levels of oral health issues and less access to dental care compared with children who do not have a history of foster care. The purpose of this study is to learn the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of foster caregivers in North Carolina and how dental care and oral health behaviors of their foster children are affected as a result of these factors. With this information, oral health interventions for the foster care community can be created.
This project seeks to broaden and improve the efficacy of library staff to support communities in crisis and to build a Field Guide that library staff can use to achieve this goal. The Field Guide's purpose is to prepare public library staff to support historically marginalized youth and families during current and future crises (such as pandemics, hurricanes, water supply, energy, wildfire, etc.) and the consequences of such crises (gaps in fundamental literacy, limited access to information, disparities in learning opportunities, etc.)
