We want to know if green light exposure during a root canal procedure will reduce pain, anxiety, and uncooperative behavior in pediatric dental patients.

We are looking for links between cystic fibrosis outcomes and a history of intimate partner violence.

We are implementing a curriculum of 6 clinical cases within the Physician Assistant Pharmacology curriculum and assessing whether or not student's learned more from case-based learning or didactic lecture teaching style. We are doing this in order to understand whether or not case-based methods for instruction should be implemented within Physician Assistant curriculum specifically in pharmacology eduction. This research will allow for more information to be gained on the topic of PA Pharmacology education in order to employ the most useful curriculum strategies for future learners.

The purpose of this study is to understand how well the learning resources at UNC-Chapel Hill's Library Makerspace meet the needs of first-generation and international undergraduate students. The study will explore what resources are available, how they are designed to help students learn, and whether students feel these resources reflect their cultural values, learning styles, and goals. To do this, I will look closely at the learning materials, talk with students in a focus group, and test a new resource based on their feedback. The goal is to find ways to improve the Makerspace's self-guided learning tools so they better support students from diverse backgrounds. This research will help the Library Makerspace create a more welcoming and effective learning environment for all students.

I will be evaluating the usefulness of a standardized handoff tool, the I-PASS tool, in improving nurse to nurse shift handoff on an adult behavioral health unit.

We want to empower communities to support Veterans and their families across all Vital Conditions. Veterans are a high risk group for mental illness and we want to prevent mental health crises by highlighting community capacity and enhancing strategic access to resources.

Our study is about helping landowners bring back the longleaf pine forest, an important type of forest in the southeastern U.S. This forest is home to unique plants and animals, helps clean the air and water, and is better at handling tough weather than other forests. We want to learn why some landowners participate in longleaf pine incentive programs, such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), while others do not. Specifically, we are examining landowner motivations, barriers to enrollment, management practices during and after participation, post-CRP land use decisions, and persistence of longleaf pine forests following the end of program support. By listening to landowners' experiences, we hope to identify ways to improve these programs, making them more accessible and effective in promoting the growth and sustainability of longleaf pine forests for future generations.

The purpose of this study is to understand what helps students at UNC thrive-academically, socially, and personally. Earlier this year, we conducted a survey to measure student well-being, but numbers alone don't tell the full story. Now, we are interviewing students to learn more about their experiences. These interviews will help us understand what supports student success and what challenges students face. Our goal is to provide UNC with better information to improve campus life, mental health resources, and academic support. By listening to students, we hope to make UNC a place where more students can flourish.

We are performing a clinical study to determine the optimal frequency for medications for infected pleural fluid, referred to as intrapleural enzyme therapy (IET). Participants will either receive once daily IET or twice daily IET. We hypothesize that once daily IET will be non-inferior to twice daily IET.

This study aims to understand how Exercise and Sport Science (EXSS) students use generative AI (GenAI) for everyday and coursework purposes, and the barriers and facilitators to its use in these settings. GenAI is growing in use among college students and it is important to understand how students apply this technology into their college education.
