Enhancing the role of pharmacies in reducing opioid misuse and abuse in racial and ethnic minority and rural communities

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.

A Community-Engaged Approach to Overcome Healthcare Barriers for Patients with SLE & Lupus Nephritis

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.

Cognition at a Distance: Testing Cognition Remotely

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).
