This is a research study to learn about the long-term outcomes from total hip arthroplasty, also called a hip replacement. As a patient who has received a hip replacement over 5 years ago, we are interested in your x-ray findings, physical exam, and satisfaction with ability to carry out activities of daily living.

We want to see how using special computer tools called generative AI can help teach nursing students better. We are studying if training teachers to use these tools helps them and their students learn more about AI. This study will also help us find out if these tools help us with teaching and learning about nursing.

Patients unable to participate in decision-making about their care deserve a surrogate decision-maker to act on their behalf. In this study we will examine typical patterns employed by trainees to identify surrogates and communicate basic understanding of the surrogate role.

The purpose of this research study is to interview patients with fatty liver disease who are planning to have liver surgery. Our goal is to understand patients' health beliefs with fatty liver disease and what weight loss behaviors they would be willing to follow prior to surgery. You are being asked to be in the study because you are a patient with fatty liver disease planning to have liver surgery.

This study is designed to evaluate outcomes for UNC School of Medicine faculty who participate in the Leadership in Academic Medicine Program (LAMP), a faculty development program for junior faculty. Participation is restricted to UNC School of Medicine faculty participating in LAMP.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine differences in proportions of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12, comparing eltrekibart versus placebo, in adult patients with moderate-to-severe UC. This will be followed by a 40-week Maintenance Period to explore safety and the durability of remission.

Systematic reviews (SRs) of healthcare interventions should identify patient safety concerns; however, many SRs are designed to assess benefits, and preliminary evidence suggests that conclusions about harms in SRs might not be trustworthy. Using >19,000 SRs of drugs for which we have full texts (including >4,000 overlapping reviews), and using innovative methods for analysis (e.g., natural language processing), we will examine whether information about safety in SRs is consistent, whether SRs address safety concerns identified using real-world evidence, and whether SRs are consistent with safety information on drug labels. Based on best evidence, including findings from this study, we will develop contemporary guidance for synthesizing and reporting safety information in SRs.

The purpose of the proposed Building Bridges project is to create an implementation model to help educators address the literacy and communication learning needs of their students with significant cognitive disabilities and complex communication needs.

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.

This study is an in-depth, qualitative research study with a longitudinal design that will assess if and how post-traumatic growth and radical healing are experienced among Black/African American youth (ages 13-18) exposed to racial trauma who participate in a YPAR intervention. Our longitudinal qualitative design, with quantitative integrated only for qualitative comparison by group purposes, allows us to explore shared patterns and differences across youth-serving contexts without neglecting person-level factors (i.e., racial identity and racism-related stress) that may impact the experience of post-traumatic growth and radical healing among Black/African American youth exposed to racial trauma. Our approach is grounded in the involvement and perspectives of youth and adult supporters in our respective communities.
