This study explores how religious beliefs influence decisions about organ donation in Black Christian communities. Many Black Americans need organ transplants, but donation rates in these communities are lower than in others. Religious beliefs may play a role in these decisions, but past research has not fully explored how people learn about their religion's views on organ donation or how these beliefs affect their choices. By interviewing Black Christians, this study aims to better understand their thoughts, experiences, and concerns about organ donation. The goal is to help create better ways to share information about organ donation that respect religious beliefs and encourage informed decision-making.

The goal of this study is to help CAPRICORN understand the needs of primary care clinics in North Carolina that provide free or low-cost healthcare. We will focus on how these clinics can offer cancer screening events to people in the community.

Our findings will be shared in a report that includes suggestions for how CAPRICORN can grow over the next five years.

Many autistic young adults also identify as gender-diverse, meaning they may not feel like the gender they were assigned at birth. These individuals face unique challenges, including feeling pressured to hide parts of who they are, struggling to find support, and dealing with high levels of stress. Right now, there aren't many programs designed specifically to help autistic gender-diverse young adults feel safe, understood, and supported.

This guide is designed to help autistic gender-diverse young adults connect with others, explore their identities, and develop coping strategies in a safe and affirming space. The goal is to see if the SHIFT Guide is helpful, easy to use, and meets the needs of participants. By learning from this study, we hope to improve support for autistic gender-diverse young adults and create more spaces where they can
