Black women in the United States disproportionately experience adverse maternal health outcomes across income and education levels compared to women of other racial and ethnic groups. Still, there is limited knowledge about Black immigrants in the U.S. Black immigrants will make up about a third of the U.S. Black population by 2060. There is urgency in supporting their pregnancy and birthing outcomes. This study will conduct secondary analyses of existing data and also focus groups with Black immigrant birthing people to identify factors in the health care system that can support optimal pregnancy and birthing outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to explore undergraduate students' experiences with AI-based writing assistants. The study aims to understand how students use these tools, their perceptions of their effectiveness, and any challenges or benefits they encounter. Insights from this research may contribute to a better understanding of the role AI plays in academic writing and could inform future educational practices or support services related to AI usage in higher education.

We are interested in learning about how sense of belonging interacts with a variety of behaviors of political participation, specifically with college students.
Engagement with UNC patients and clinicians will be used to gather feedback on the relevance of data sources, perspectives on the model outputs for lupus diagnosis and other outcomes, and to understand the utility of model outputs against clinical standards. Engagement of key community collaborators to solicit their perspectives and advice will be used to inform model development.
We are interested in finding ways to make political conversations go more smoothly. We will examine which conversations lead people to have more positive views of those they disagree with.
Determine the effectiveness of real-time CGM at reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality in pregnant individuals with T2DM, compared to regular blood sugar testing methods.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people use their eyes while working on tasks using multiple computer screens. We want to learn how eye movements change when people do structured tasks given by the research team compared to when they do their own regular work. This information can help us improve future technology, like smart glasses, to make working with virtual screens easier and more comfortable.
This study will ask parents who homeschool their high school-age children to provide information about how these students learn information literacy skills (specifically, how to find and evaluate sources). It seeks to better understand common information literacy practices and compare how information literacy is taught among different groups of homeschoolers in order to strengthen our understanding of how high schoolers encounter this important skill.
