The purpose of this study is to examine how state licensure boards regulate the use of remote or tele-supervision for behavioral health clinicians pursuing independent licensure. Advances in telehealth have expanded opportunities for virtual clinical supervision, yet regulations vary widely across professions and states.

The purpose of this study is to test how easy it is for people to use a mobile app we created. The app shows fake health data from smartwatches/fitness trackers (like Fitbit) to help doctors and patients track how well antidepressant medications are working. We want to see if people can easily understand and use the app before we test it in future medical research settings.
Research study to prevent and reduce exposure to contaminated private well drinking water. Once participants provide consent, project staff administer a survey of prior well testing behavior, online or on paper. All consented participants who complete the survey receive a well test kit (via US mail or in person), which includes instructions, bottles, and an information sheet that requires participants to provide name / address and confirm they have followed recommended sampling protocol. Participants return samples to project staff, who will deliver samples to the UNC Superfund Research Program lab in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Once samples have been processed, project staff develop report-back letters and share results with participants. Within 3-6 months of results being provided, project staff will send an electronic or paper evaluation survey to participants, to document any water treatment actions and understand participant recall of test results and satisfaction with study participation.
