This project proposes to conduct a needs assessment of Arabic-speaking patients who visit the UNC Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill to refine existing peri-visit communication workflows. The needs assessment will be done in collaboration with the Refugee Community Partnership (RCP) and will involve focus groups of their members to better assess clinic peri-visit communication needs. The goal is to deliver Arabic language-expansion interventions to clinic leadership that address these needs and implement at least one concrete communication workflow change.

The World Health Organization recommends one ultrasound before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Recent developments with technology-assisted ultrasound increase ultrasound access to patients in low- and middle-income countries. This study is the evaluation of the implementation of technology-assisted ultrasounds in 7 antenatal clinics in Zambia. The goal is to understanding the acceptability and feasibility of the ultrasounds, and ultimately to publish information helpful to policymakers and clinic directors involved in implementing similar programs in low-resource settings.

Understand pediatric nurses' personal views of workplace violence as well as their views of their experiences with caring for aggressive adolescent patients. This research is being conducted because of the lack of knowledge on this topic.

This project will focus on industry thought leaders on social media and their potential to create cultural change, especially with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Thought leaders in the diversity and inclusion space on LinkedIn use their platform to address social issues related to DEI, but there is not a lot of research that has examined this aspect. To fill this gap, this study will propose interviewing thought leaders who regularly post about diversity topics on LinkedIn to gather information on their posts.

The purpose is to understand people's individual experience at work as well as the way people experience interactions with others at work.

The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Education is interested in conducting an educational research study with parents and their 4-5-year-old children.

This study will help us better understand how children learn and help promote positive academic outcomes.

Surveying internal medicine residents to identify factors associated with future career choice and barriers to residents choosing primary care as a career.

The central aim of this UNC-Gillings Practicum opportunity is to offer a UNC-Gillings MPH student the opportunity to contribute to developing and improving our community-engaged, clinic-based and research project whose goal is to better understand the complex issues surrounding prevention, education, diagnosis, treatment and barriers to care for children and adults living with sickle cell disease in Kalangala, Uganda.

i. Patient sitters provide 1:1 supervision to patients at risk of injury to themselves or others. As there are no existing national policies that define sitter responsibility, this responsibility is left to hospitals. Current policies largely utilize sitters to provide patient safety; however, sitters often find themselves in situations which require far more than safety skills, leading to ambiguity in the role. Through my project, I will explore the experiences of current sitters and ultimately use this data to create a more comprehensive training module that reduces the ambiguity of the sitter role.

The proposed study will investigate whether knee joint manipulation can improve neurocognitive and neuromuscular performance in individuals with a history of ACLR.
