Age-Based- Genomic Screening Caregiver Interviews

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.

Emergency Department Aspirin Study

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.

KCH Neonatal Mixed Method Outcome Study

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
