To widen the availability of obstetric ultrasound through technology

The purpose of this research study is to take an in-depth look at the North Carolina Collaborative for Mathematics Learning (NC2ML), a design-based research-practice partnership that has sustained for nearly a decade. The proposed study will explore the tools and methods that supported interaction between participants and why participants have remained engaged in the partnership for the last eight years.

Restorative Justice (RJ) is a way of dealing with harm that focuses on healing instead of traditionally punishing people. RJ can help both the person who was harmed and the person who caused the harm, but we also have to be careful. Over the past few decades, more people have started to see RJ as a better way to handle problems in the legal system and to help communities heal. This study looks at how Restorative Justice is being used in Durham, Wake, and Orange County North Carolina and whether it helps reduce punishments like jail time, fines, or probation in adult felony cases.

Healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) contribute substantially to the burden of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients in the United States and are a significant economic burden on the healthcare system. Approximately 3-5% of patients in the United States contract a HAI during the course of their treatment, and an estimated $7-14 billion are spent annually on treating these infections. HAIs also contribute to development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), placing additional burden on the healthcare system and substantially raising the costs of treatment. Novel microbiome engineering technologies that address the HAI problem are currently being developed by researchers. We will conduct a qualitative study to assess the factors influencing the adoption of novel microbiome engineering among hospital nurses in the United States.

The purpose of this research study is to improve the understanding and satisfaction with confidential reporting of learning environment concerns for Pediatric Resident physicians. We will conduct a baseline needs assessment survey , followed by targeted education on a singular reporting system, covering report submission, procedural follow-up, and outcome communication. A follow-up survey will evaluate for change in the understanding of and satisfaction with the process. Through this intervention, the objective is to enhance clarity and satisfaction with the reporting process.

The purpose of this study is to examine the level of knowledge and integration of teachers of Spanish variations in Heritage Speaker (HS) instruction in middle school.

This study explores how college students feel and think about using artificial intelligence (AI) to help with mental health. We want to see if students studying science and technology (STEM) feel differently about AI than students in other areas. We're studying this because AI is being used more and more to solve both work and personal problems. However, using AI in mental health is still new and has not been talked about much.

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

The Comparison of Analgesic Regimen Effectiveness and Safety in Surgery (CARES) trial is a randomized controlled study comparing the outcomes of managing acute postoperative pain between two therapies: (1) A prescription for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen (Tylenol); OR (2) A prescription for low-dose opioids and acetaminophen (Tylenol) for patients scheduled for one of the following 3 surgeries: (1) gallbladder removal, (2) inguinal hernia repair, and (3) breast lumpectomy. This study is being done to learn which option works the best at relieving pain and has the least amount of side effects.

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.
