The University of North Carolina Age-Based Genomic Screening program is an innovative paradigm that aims to provide targeted and highly actionable genetic information to parents via their child's routine wellness visits. The final stage of the program involves a pilot study that will expand pediatric genetic screening in well-child care across the states. In preparation for this final stage, we will conduct interviews with parents or caregiver of children in North Carolina to inform an implementation plan, educational and training materials, and evaluation plan for the pilot study. The interviews will consist of questions aimed at assessing barriers and facilitators to the implementation of ABGS, including parents' and children's healthcare and genetic screening experiences (such as blood and saliva collection), perceptions and interest in the ABGS program, expectations and experiences with healthcare providers, and the information needed for participation decisions.
We are looking to see how patients undergoing total shoulder replacement are rating their satisfaction and function with the results of their surgeries. We want to know what patients are describing in their pre and postoperative course so the field can better tailor the details surrounding care of the procedure to individuals undergoing these surgeries in the future.
We are doing a research study to understand how being treated rudely affects the decisions of anesthesiology residents. We want to see if being treated badly makes it harder for them to make good decisions during their training. This is important because it can help us make the work environment better and improve patient care.
The purpose of this study is to collect feedback and guidance from parents, healthcare providers, and therapists in the development of a pediatric feeding clinic for autistic patients. The goal is to create feeding services that are responsive to the unique needs of this populaiton.
Aim 2 is to develop a set of evidence-based cannabis warnings and identify which warning characteristics increase perceived warning effectiveness. Aim 3 is to experimentally determine if large cannabis warnings with characteristics found to be promising in Aim 2 increase risk perceptions. This research is conducted so that states can implement the findings into their cannabis warning regulations.
Purpose: Implementation of 2002 ACGME Competencies added significant burden of required documentation thus increasing the administrative time required of Dermatology Residency Program Directors (RPDs) and associative Program Directors (APDs) and impeding on faculty member's personal and family lives as a result. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the implementation of the ACGME competencies dissuaded the children of these faculty members from pursuing a career in medicine.
Purpose: The goal of this study is to gather information about the opinion of voters from several Latin America countries on a variety of issues. These include usual questions from public opinion surveys commonly implemented all around the world, such as ideology, voting preferences in the last election, and opinions on a variety of policy issues. It will also include usual demographic questions.
We are interested in getting feedback from parents on how we can modify measures that assess parents'/caregivers' health, parenting methods, and children's communication skills to make them more suitable for use in China, Guatemala, or India. We would like to hear your thoughts on how we can change these tools to make them more relevant and effective in China, Guatemala, or India!
This study aims to better understand how aspirin use is managed for patients after they come into the emergency room for bleeding or trauma. In the long term, to improve patient care as they transition from emergency care to primary care and ensure patients are taking aspirin safely. We think this study is important because it's the first to look at how emergency room visits lead to stopping inappropriate aspirin use in older adults. Our team includes experts from different fields like emergency medicine, geriatrics, heart health, and pharmacology.
Neonatal mortality remains a significant challenge in Malawi, despite the country's success in reducing overall childhood mortality. We have identified significant gaps in infection control and routine neonatal care in tertiary facilities. As more childbirths are occurring in health facilities, it is crucial to identify areas for improvement and address these in each facility to enhance the quality of neonatal care. This study proposes a team-based approach to identifying areas for improvement with a high potential to significantly impact neonatal survival in surgical neonates. By including a wide range of individuals - from those working in the unit to providers interacting with the team to hospital leadership - we can design robust interventions with the potential for successful implementation and propagation. Our study proposes a reproducible model that other neonatal services or facilities may replicate. An additional benefit of a qualitative research-informed approach is empowering all team members to improve
