Compare two surgical procedures for treatment of trichiasis to see which one has better outcomes.

Validation of assessment tool for regional anesthesia skills

The purpose is to promote retention of Family Child Care Homes by increasing compensation comparable to the actual cost of care.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate and understand the latest advancements in histone modification analysis techniques and their applications.

he purpose of this study is to explore how healthcare professionals, including doctors, psychologists, and nurses, are using new technologies called Generative AI in their daily work. Generative AI tools, such as systems that help write clinical notes or summarize conversations, have the potential to save time and make tasks easier for healthcare providers. This study will ask participants to share their experiences with these tools, including what they find helpful, any challenges they've faced, and suggestions for improvement. By gathering this information, we hope to better understand how these tools are currently being used and how they can be improved to help healthcare professionals provide better care to their patients. The results of this study will be used to guide future improvements to Generative AI tools and offer practical advice for clinicians who are considering using these technologies in their own practices.

We want to create a registry of new and established patients with Keratoconus who attend the UNC Department of Ophthalmology, with the aim of understanding risk factors, how the disease develops and response to treatment.

The purpose of the study is to test a Food is Medicine intervention in a rural NC county and compare the benefits to a physical activity intervention in terms of beneficial behavioral and health outcomes

Health literacy is the ability for individuals to read and understand health information in order to make health decisions. The American Medical Association recommends that patient information guides are written at or below a sixth grade reading level. However previous studies have found that most patient educational material in urogynecology are written above the recommended sixth grade reading level. The purpose of this research study is to see if patients are better able to better understand informational handouts written at above a sixth-grade reading level compared to informational handouts written below a sixth-grade reading level.

The purpose of this study is to understand how the T32 Trainees Pre and Postdoctorals students manage their overall experience within the training program.

As machine learning is accepted as one of the most powerful tools to solve problems that involve a large amount of data, more and more application areas started to explore and adopt machine learning methods into their workflows. The first step of developing a machine learning model is to determine the target variable, i.e. what to predict. For instance, if a practitioner wants to develop a model to assist hiring decisions, he/she may choose a candidate's performance score as the prediction target to train the machine learning model. In practice, practitioners need to experiment and evaluate a large set of potential target variables until they reach a satisfactory one. We would like to automate the evaluation of target variables and recommend good ones to the users. The purpose of this study is to understand how different recommendation strategies influence the target selection process.
