The purpose of this study is to identify key features of primary caregivers' desirable characteristics for the development of a Down syndrome (Ds) Clinic within the UNC Healthcare system.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of treating patients with a history of iTTP with efgartigimod, an FcRn inhibitor that reduces IgG autoantibodies, including those responsible for ADAMTS13 depletion.

Mental health issues are rising among kids in the United States. Speaking to a counselor over video chat is one way to increase access to mental health care during mental health crises. This study looks at what kids, parents, and school staff think about using video chats with a counselor to help when kids have mental health crises at school.

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the relationship between sleep brain wave patterns and peripheral glucose (sugar) levels in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants will undergo continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using a CGM device for up to two weeks before an in-laboratory sleep study which is part of routine medical care at UNC to examine how sugar levels fluctuate during sleep and how these fluctuations relate to brain wave activity

The purpose of this study is to examine psychological readiness by assessing attentional control and resilience and to determine if psychological readiness (i.e. attentional control and resilience) is predictive of physical readiness.

This study is exploring the effect of clear aligner treatment on microplastics exposure and physiological uptake by collecting saliva and urine samples. Microplastic size, makeup, and quantity will be assessed before and after treatment with clear aligners.

This project will fund data collection for a natural experiment that jointly measures the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and social participation impacts of an e-bike voucher pilot in Raleigh, North Carolina. The city will soon invite residents to enter a lottery to win one of 150 e-bike vouchers. A portion of these vouchers will offer a deeper discount to low-income applicants. The lottery is a natural experiment that allows us to evaluate the causal effects of e-bike incentives, and e-bikes themselves, on travel behavior and quality of life. We will collect data through a panel survey of lottery participants before and after vouchers are awarded, with those who do not receive vouchers serving as a control group. . We will additionally provide study participants with access to OpenPATH, a real-time smartphone app developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to track changes in driving levels.
