The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which engaging teachers in iterative design processes with scientists increases their content knowledge of and self-efficacy for incorporating current biomedical science into their teaching. This study includes a professional development program with a teacher-driven curriculum development component.
Using online surveys to measure level of patient symptoms and seeing how regularly monitoring that impacts a patient's healthcare experience.
In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.
This project studies how our ability to hear with two ears changes as we age or develop hearing loss.
Flooding is a frequent, expensive, and life-threatening hazard across the United States. Some towns have limited flooding damage by limiting the amount of new development in floodplains (areas known to be at risk of repeat flooding). This project explores why some towns have been able to limit development while others have aggressively built in the floodplains. We interview local stakeholders and residents in eight towns (four that have limited floodplain development and four that have not). We will ask about regulations that limit development and control flood risk in their towns. We will ask about why these regulations were or were not adopted, the process of adoption, how they are enforced, and any challenges faced. We will ask about their experiences with the regulations and their perceptions of flood risks. Our goal is to identify lessons learned that can help other towns improve their floodplain management.
Cancer affects the entire family - including children. FACT, which stands for "Families Addressing Cancer Together," is a new online tool that generates custom guidance for discussing cancer with children, tailored for your unique family and goals.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people think about different aspects of time (past, present, and future) and its association with their well-being in romantic relationships.
The purpose of this study is to further adapt an evidence-based, social support intervention, enCompass for rural cancer caregivers by identifying the barriers and facilitators from the perspectives of clinical staff and healthcare administrators. Results of this study will inform the development of a clinical trial.
The purpose of this focus group is to get feedback on an educational video about recovery from musculoskeletal pain. The information we learn may help us improve the video so that we can keep people from developing long-term opioid use.
This study will engage practicing TRI teachers in an iterative development process to refine TRI activities and materials for small group instruction. Small groups provide the opportunity to reach a larger number of students in less time.
