This study is being conducted to create a better understanding of how military journalists cover issues such as military mental health and whether this coverage focuses on institutional or individual factors, how their audiences perceive their news stories, and what possible methods or techniques may be needed to make their coverage more effective.
With this study we want to collect data from new and established patients with inflammation of the cornea (keratitis). We want to create a registry that can give us information about this disease and define what factors are related to the process, diagnosis, and treatment of keratitis, to help improve the health of future patients with this condition.
Using carefully constructed case vignettes and a survey of oncology providers across a spectrum of settings, we sought to characterize early trends in internalization of the girentuximab PET-CT into care.
In this project we are interested in how reputations affect international cooperation. In particular, we are interested in studying how the cost of cooperation changes for countries who fail to uphold their international commitments. We anticipate that this happens via two mechanisms. The first is direct: a change in beliefs about the state's reliability in the eyes of other countries. The second is indirect: a concern that failing to punish a state for non-cooperative behavior will invite more non-cooperative behavior in the future. States, we suspect, are thus concerned with developing a reputation for tolerating non-cooperative behavior. We use survey experiments on the US public and elites to study these questions.

The purpose of this research is to determine if college athletes at UNC are at risk for cavities. Because college athletes have specific diets and busy schedules, they may not know they are consuming foods that increase their risk for cavities. By using an assessment tool that is used to measure cavities risk, CAMBRA, we can survey the athletes diet and oral hygiene choices.
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.
