The purpose of this study is to understand how the graduate academic environment at UNC-Chapel Hill impacts mental health from the perspective of Black men in graduate degree programs. Participants in this study will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview that will be virtual. This interview will last about 1 hour. Participants will be guided through prompts to bring out their views and experiences around graduate school and mental health. The insights gained from this study may inform a larger project on graduate student well-being and help develop future initiatives to support the health of Black men pursuing graduate degrees.

The goal of this study is to help CAPRICORN understand the needs of primary care clinics in North Carolina that provide free or low-cost healthcare. We will focus on how these clinics can offer cancer screening events to people in the community. To do this, we will create and use a survey to learn more about the needs of 3-4 clinics in North Carolina. Our findings will be shared in a report that includes suggestions for how CAPRICORN can grow over the next five years.

We are excited to invite you to participate in a research study on how people perceive news stories on social media. This study aims to understand what aspects of a news post draw people's attention and how these elements influence perceptions. What's involved? As a participant, you'll complete a short survey and then view a social media news post while an eye-tracking device to record where your attention is directed. This study session will take approximately 20-30 minutes and will be conducted in our on-campus lab. Some participants may be invited to a 10 minute follow-up interview to review their eye-tracking data and share additional thoughts. Why participate? Your participation will help us advance knowledge in digital media and public perception research, potentially informing how we understand and improve transparency in online media. While
