The purpose of this study is to understand what information is posted about COVID-19 on ReOpen groups.
We are trying to understand how agricultural workers in Southeastern North Carolina feel about managing their diabetes. We hope to help participants feel more comfortable in understanding their diabetes and how to better control their blood sugar.
Train a machine learning algorithm to identify normal eyes compared to eyes with trichiasis (an infectious eye disease that causes lashes to turn inwards)
You are being asked to participate in this study because you have an appointment at UNC Urology, and you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The purpose of this research study is to learn how either cryosurgery or prostatectomy procedures change the inflammatory response within the body. To do this, we will draw blood and analyze it for signs of inflammation before and after your standard of care procedure.
We are doing a diagnostic evaluation of patients with Primary Immunodeficiencies (PID) and Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) to see if we can determine clinic differences between the two groups. This information will help us to define future studies.
The goal of this project is to understand how community pharmacies work collaboratively with patients to reduce the harm that opioid misuse can cause. Investigators are also seeking to understand what challenges community pharmacies face when trying to decrease harm from opioids by supporting safe use of opioid medications and access to medications for opioid use disorder treatment and opioid overdose reversal. Information gathering efforts are being focused on community pharmacies that serve racial and ethnic minority communities in rural areas. Triangle CERSI scientists are working collaboratively with the FDA to survey and interview pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, patients, and other community members to collect and analyze data needed to better understand community pharmacy challenges in these areas. Ultimately, investigators seek to explore effective ways to reduce the harm from opioid misuse among underserved communities.
We are classifying narratives by types of narrators (i.e., reliable vs. unreliable).
This project will focus on identifying and addressing socio-economic barriers to healthcare (e.g., education, transportation/access) for patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Lupus Nephritis (LN). This pilot program aims to expand supportive services and education to mitigate healthcare barriers, by: 1) enhancing access to tangible transportation support systems to improve healthcare access; and 2) utilizing Pharmacist Counseling and Patient Educational Materials to increase awareness and knowledge of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, medication adherence, and routine screenings (e.g., urine protein creatinine ratio and urinalysis) for improved health outcomes.
We want to test adults with sickle cell disease, using both the conventional in-person Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and, within 2-4 months, the abbreviated 'MOCA-blind', which can be given remotely. In this way we can begin to evaluate whether these tests are sensitive to similar degrees of impairment when given remotely compared with in-person in people with sickle cell disease (SCD).
The purpose of this study is to understand how people gather information from reference letters, which are short essays written by a former colleague or supervisor to support someone's application for a new role.
