This study explores how religious beliefs influence decisions about organ donation in Black Christian communities. Many Black Americans need organ transplants, but donation rates in these communities are lower than in others. Religious beliefs may play a role in these decisions, but past research has not fully explored how people learn about their religion's views on organ donation or how these beliefs affect their choices. By interviewing Black Christians, this study aims to better understand their thoughts, experiences, and concerns about organ donation. The goal is to help create better ways to share information about organ donation that respect religious beliefs and encourage informed decision-making.

I aim to understand how nonpolitical traits and choices convey information about political positions of citizens and candidates and generate consequences for the way in which people interact with them.

The purpose of this study is to survey the physician membership of NAEMSP to try and establish a national market rate for EMS medical director roles. Currently, there is no established market rate for EMS medical direction.

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

The primary purpose of this work is to engage a broad group of stakeholders to implement a patient-centered approach to the de-adoption of self-monitored blood glucose among non-insulin-treated patients with Type two Diabetes Mellitus. We will evaluate the effectiveness of Rethink the Strip finalize and package it for nationwide dissemination.

The goal of this study is to examine the determinants of individuals' policy preferences as well as their attitudes toward international political institutions. This survey includes two embedded survey experiments, each examining a different aspect of individuals' preferences. The first experiment examines how information about depopulation risk affects individuals' immigration policy preferences by randomly varying whether subjects receive information about depopulation. The second experiment examines how the expansion of an international organization affects individuals' attitudes toward international organizations, as well as their attitudes toward member and non-member states. Overall, this study aims to understand the determinants of individuals' attitudes toward policies related to various aspects of globalization.

The purpose of this study is to understand how people interact with AI tools.

The purpose is to improve short term study abroad facilitators' limited understanding of how transformative experiences are facilitated and how their impact can be effectively assessed.

The purpose of this study is to determine which new magnetic resonance sequences provide better, faster and more useful information. A sequence is a distinct method of obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) images. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is made up of many different imaging sequences. These new sequences will be implemented on either on a 3 Tesla (3T) MR system, a 7 Tesla (7T) MR system (single- or multi- transmit), or both. Since the signal-to-noise ratio for MR images is highly dependent on the magnetic field strength, the anticipated signal-to-noise will be 7T greater than 3T and 3T greater than 1.5T systems. The 3T MR system is FDA approved whereas the 7T system is not FDA approved, but is built to the same standards as other FDA approved scanners. In addition, the FDA has approved magnetic field strength up to 8T for human imaging. Participants will be told ahead

To explore people with lived and living experience (PWLLE) of opioid use and/or taking methadone on the feasibility of and interest in pharmacy-centered methadone access at rural community pharmacies. The model for which we will elicit PWLLE perspectives parallels several similar successful programs that exist outside of the US and several successful small-scale pilots that have been conducted in urban areas of the US, including NC.
